Just a few of my favourite Drew Struzan movie posters. Whether a classic or a turkey, Struzan always did sublime work no matter the quality of the film itself, when it comes to movie posters he truly was the GOAT and we’ll never the like again, R.I.P.

There’s no solidarity quite like that between client journalists, the government and their billionaire backers. It’s all one big club.

This so-called “journalist” called for me — a British MP — to be deported because I’m Muslim.

Yet somehow he’s the victim. Cry me a river.

Tweet from Christian Calgie:

“Just a quick message of enormous thanks to everyone who's been in touch over the past few days offering support.
From government to opposition, all parties and none, and all corners of the media, it was immensely kind and nearly as overwhelming as the pile on.
Back soon - KBO”

Really want to see 13th warrior but sounds like it’s in need of a decent transfer?

A ★★½ review of After the Hunt (2025)

I liked this movie better when it it was called Tar. Anyway, despite its provocative title, Luca Guadagnino’s latest eventually ties itself up in so many knots during its laborious almost two and a h...

I hadn’t seen Kingdom of Heaven since the cinema in 2005 so it was fascinating to go back and check out the much praised Director’s Cut all these years later but did it change my original middling opinion on the movie, listen now to find out!

NEW EPISODE ALERT 🖖

We’ve had a bunch of listener requests to cover the Director’s Cut of Ridley Scott’s Kingdom of Heaven over the years thanks to the involvement of Alexander Siddig and now it’s finally here as the Spocklight crew gather to reevaluate the film at all good podcasts places now!

A ★★½ review of Resurrection (1999)

Russell Mulcahy’s Resurrection may be a blatant rip-off of David Fincher’s Seven, but despite some dodgy dialogue and performances it’s shot and made with enough style and verve to drive it along maki...

A ★★½ review of The Ladies Club (1986)

While it may have seemed pioneering in 1986, this now comes across as a little regressive in some of its sexual politics and sometimes feels like a female Death Wish (not complimentary, as much as I d...

A ★★ review of PROBE: The Zero Imperative (1994)
