Mr Goldsmith worked with his father on the score for Star Trek: First Contact (rightly regarded as the best of the Next Generation Star Trek film scores, as well as the Steve Martin comedy The Man With Two Brains, and more recently the Kevin Sorbo starrer Kull The Conqueror.

Rodney Twelftree

“Some people say I like films. Those people are wrong. I *love* films.” – Me. I said this.

Rodney has been writing about films for well over two decades, appreciates a good wine, the love of his wife and kids, and the affection of his dog and cats. He has a fondness of cheesy 90’s action and classic Hollywood, hates that physical media is disappearing, and wishes somebody would make a high-budget series of The Neverending Story.
