Orange(Wednesday)s and Lemons #70
It’s impossible to dress for this weather – one minute it’s sheeting down, the next it’s hotter than Jude Law’s crotch five seconds after he’s met the new nanny. So why bother to go outside at all? Hide in the multiplex all day and watch film after film after film, secure in the knowledge that all you really need to wear is some pants. Thank god for the OWLs!
Cheat Sheet: Chris Rock
In geology, a rock is a naturally occurring solid aggregate of minerals and / or mineraloids. While plenty is known about all things igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic, not nearly enough knowledge exists about our favourite rock of all. Yup. it’s time to get under the skin of Chris Rock…

So get your flight socks on and your mozzie spray out, ‘cos we’re going round the world in eight holiday-based films!
Monday Mash-Up – Super 8 Edition #7!
TWO WEEKS TWO WEEKS TWO WEEKS ‘TIL SUPER 8! We’re still searching for answers, but as this week saw the release of instant megahit Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 we’ve taken our inspiration from the various monsters of Harry’s world. See how many you can guess…
Top 3 Biopics that never got made
This week saw us get our first glimpse of Meryl Streep as Margaret Thatcher in The Iron Lady, made almost unrecognisable (except as Margaret Thatcher, but we suspect that may have been the point) with coiffed hair, pearls and all. But the question is: should a film about such a divisive figure be made at all? And, what with the Susan Boyle biopic firmly in the works, how low is the bar being set for biopics?
Friday Face/Off: Sandra Bullock
It’s that time of the week again; that ‘we all want to get home but we’ve agreed to write one of these every Friday – quick, someone pop to the shop for some vitriol and poorly conceived opinions!’ time of the week. Facing off this week are the two GIANTS of Best For Film, and they’re tackling perhaps the most pertinent issue of all: was Two Weeks Notice any good?
The Best Harry Potter Scenes That Were Never Filmed
As the Harry Potter novels devoured increasing chunks of woodland in its pursuit of pages, the film series somehow managed to rein itself in despite the books’ increasingly labyrinthine plot arcs. In an attempt to highlight the best scenes lost in translation (that is, not even filmed as DVD extras), here is a (potentially spoilerific) list of moments you might have missed.
