The 66th Edinburgh International Film Festival runs from 20 June to 1 July 2012, and we’ve got a pair of tickets to see the opening night film KILLER JOE, ahead of its UK release, to give away!

Secretly, we are all a teeny weeny bit Sedatephobic. That’s right; we fear silence. The awkward silence on a first date, the uncomfortably long pause after a joke bombs, the too-silent bedroom as you try to ‘lose yourself in the moment’, the creepy basement… it’s no good denying it. We want to fill silence. Which is why, when treating yourself to a spectacular silent film (in celebration of this week’s hottest release, The Artist), we strongly advise you drink heavily, to ease the tension…

But where’s Drive?

Christmas exultation-ing taking its financial toll? Worrying about how many loved ones will be super-stoked about getting A Hug Voucher again this year? Screw them. It’s Wednesday. And on Wednesday, we celebrate the birth of another sacred vessel – that of Two For One Cinema. Praise Be!

There are some people in this world who really love puppies; little girls, mostly, or pre-teens, or middle-aged folks with not a lot else to fill their days. This film is their Holy Grail. It’s as if the Cutest Puppies Of 2011 calendar they have hanging in their bedroom has come to life on screen and, not unexpectedly, it’s annoyingly adorable…

It’s a real corker.

“WHAT IS THIS, A CENTRE FOR ANTS?” – not relevant, but important to keep in mind.

Everyone’s got an opinion on dogs; either you like nothing more than to fling sticks, collect turds and have your face licked (bringing you just one degree of bacterial separation away from canine penis) or you’d rather all vets started offering complimentary sack’n’brick combos with every collar bought. Hollywood’s certainly not exempt from our collective love affair with hounds; but what do John and Caroline think? It’s time to Face/Off…

Eat Pray Love + Men = ???

With this summer set for forty days and forty nights of rain, us BFFers are gettin’ outta here! Or not. Because let’s face it, where would you be without our continual filmic drivel to keep you entertained during these darkened days? No, instead we’re humouring ourselves with a virtual trip that will take us to sun-soaked exotic places without leaving the comforts of our rather comfy office. So get your flight socks on and your mozzie spray out, ‘cos we’re going round the world in eight holiday-based films!
