"Popcorn is no straight-forward 'best-of' list; rather it is part serious critical appreciation, part celebration of perceived B-movie trash. Garry Mulholland is equally at home deconstructing the likes of Performance, Gimme Shelter and Jubilee as celebrating Grease, Footloose and Glitter. Along the way, classics of the genre are revisited. Turkeys are disinterred. Forgotten gems are dusted down and re-examined; cult classics unearthed for a new generation." "The main aim is to get to the essence of the film and why it matters ... or perhaps doesn't. In doing so, Popcorn reminds the reader why they might have entered the cinema in the first place. As with Mulholland's previous books on singles and albums, and as with all great criticism, the reader will unquestionably return to the source galvanised, searching out old, new and classic films on DVD."--Jacket.
