Christmas Playlist: The Best Of 2013

Movie Feature | Neil Alcock | 21st December 2013

It's Christmas, apparently, not that you'd notice. So here's The Shiznit's present to you: a shiny Spotify playlist of the best bits of movie music from 2013. It was that or a PS4, but we knew you'd rather have the chance to listen to the Iron Man Three theme again than receive the world's most advanced games console for free.

Saturday Playlist: Nice score, shame about the film

Movie Feature | Neil Alcock | 28th September 2013

If, like me, you fondly remember The Incredible Suit's astoundingly popular series of film music playlists with misty eyes and bulging trousers, then I've got good news: they're back!

The BBC's Sound Of Cinema season will make your ears cum

Movie Feature | Neil | 22nd August 2013

A few weeks ago I went to the press launch of Sound Of Cinema, a forthcoming three-week season of programmes on the wireless and tellybox provided by the BBC, God bless 'em.
