Loved appearing on this brilliant podcast from to talk about The Devil’s Advocate - with Al Pacino being cinema’s very best incarnation of the Devil.

For those who enjoyed our earlier vid of Rik voicing Peeves in the Harry Potter computer game, here’s Matthew Lewis (Neville Longbottom) talking about Rik’s brilliant performance that was ultimately sadly cut.

Ah that’s a shame. Had the pleasure of directing Michael Madsen on a TV show and he was a wonderful man and very collaborative actor with a fantastic CV. He will be missed.

What an incredibly fucking patronising piece. Considering the SOA were as useful as a sack of shit to most Unbound authors, I’m amazed it’s Chief Exec has the gall to write this.

β€œIt’s ARRIVED!” The postman gave our knocker a damn good banging and dropped off some FANTASTIC Talking Bottom calendars that we’ll be giving away over Christmas. Look out for some suspiciously-easy Bottom-related questions when you’re not getting stuck into the sherry/gravy.

It’s a great loss to film journalism to see Total Film end. I was fortunate to write for the magazine on occasion and this was one of my favourite pitches that ended up becoming a semi-regular feature called Taking Stock. The first was about the β€œSleazeball in a suit” character, whom I love.
