Just added a Film Review page on the blog.
https://socialiststandardmyspace.blogspot.com/p/film-reviews.html
At the time of writing all the Socialist Standard film reviews that are currently on the blog on one handy page. I’ve broken them up into decades for easy navigation. Sad to see that some decades are sorely under-represented. I wonder if it was because it was just the case that Socialist Standard writers weren’t reviewing movies, or if it was a conscious decision on the part of the Socialist Standard Editorial Committee not to solicit film reviews for the Standard.
The two most prolific film reviewers in the pages of the Socialist Standard down the years were Janie Percy-Smith in the 1980s and Steve Clayton in the 2010s.
From the archives.

The United National Antiwar Coalition is affiliated to – maybe even a front for – the Workers World Party. Not saying he’s a member or a fellow-traveller of the WWP. He might just be a useful idiot for them.
Though the WWP has it historic roots in the American Socialist Workers Party, they’re best described as tankies at this point.
Not a fan.
A genuine question: why do you think it’s painful to read the website version?
PS – There is a PDF of this month’s Socialist Standard. Someone sent me a copy.
Surely an album review deserved its own separate page?
If only to mark the fact that it’s only the fifth album review in 1415 issues of the Socialist Standard.
The only reason Mr Blobby would have got more votes is because he once appeared on the front cover of the Socialist Standard.
That aside, DJP makes a fair point which I happen to agree with.
