About the Book

Author Christopher Tookey and a host of critics, from the celebrated to the obscure, provide feedback on some of the biggest films to have reached our screens, indexed by actor or actress and presented alphabetically. Many of the most famous people of the last 100 years are here, from Woody Allen to Will Ferrell and Andrew Lloyd Webber to Julia Roberts. No celebrity is left unscathed, with short one-liner comments to paragraph reviews, such as: “To my eye, [Daniel] Radcliffe still looks like the teenage offspring of Hitler and a gay owl.” (Robbie Collin, News of the World) Christoper takes inspiration from books including Diana Rigg’s No Turn Unstoned and Matthew Parris’ Scorn. Named & Shamed is guaranteed to make you laugh at least once per page and will appeal greatly to the general reader and in particular to all film fans.

Review :
"Deriving pleasure from others' misery is not an elevating pastime, and I am not proud of how much I enjoyed this book. But I could not put it down." -- Julian Fellowes English actor, novelist, film director and Oscar-winning screenwriter. "I was amused." -- Philip French "A deliciously vicious anthology of malignancy... It belongs in the smallest room, and I don't doubt that many of us will slavishly memories our favourite quotes about our least favourite artistes." -- Jeni Barnett "A blockbuster of critical barbs." -- Henry Fitzherbert The Express "A brilliant almanac for anyone who has ever doubted the wit and wisdom of critics." -- James Christopher "A comprehensive tribute to the neglected heroism of film critics, who watch awful performances so that public doesn't have to, warning them off with dark savage wit." -- David Gritten The Telegraph
