  • Cheat Sheet: Russell Crowe

    Russell Crowe is many things; part owner of the Australian rugby team South Sydney Rabbitohs, Oscar-winning actor, champion Phone Hurler, singer/songwriter, father, lover and an utter enigma. To celebrate his reemergence into acting after his 1 year hiatus (to work on his music) with The Man With The Iron Fists, Best For Film has compiled this lovely Cheat Sheet to explore his Beautiful Mind. Make sure you are never without a Russell Crowe fact ever again! ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED!?


  • Offender

    Offender was released into cinemas in August this year and is so self-consciously ‘gritty’ that it scrapes at your eyeballs. Riddled with angry-young-men cliches, scattered with graphic violence, and littered with clunky references to Modern Culture, Offender cannot be forgiven for a painfully badly-judged script, confusing cinematography and appalling sound quality. Offender is The Shawshank Redemption for the Plan B generation. If Tim Robbins was a giant turd.








  • The Man With The Iron Fists

    The Man With The Iron Fists is more of a bloviated vanity piece by lead/director/writer/composer RZA than an homage to Chinese martial arts cinema. Proving that mediocre and poorly-edited action sequences are no substitute for a coherent screenplay, this film is an hour and a half of unenjoyable tosh that never even approaches the level of violence, gore, or fun that it promises. Someone better wrap RZA in a warm blanket and put him back to bed, he’s obviously not ready to be doing films yet.
