  • Orange(Wednesday)s and Lemons #42

    As the Best For Film team grows by two, our collective wisdom is increased by a factor of A MILLION. That’s maths, sunshine, and if you ignore it then God only knows what you’ll end up watching this week? Bleeding mobiles? Monteing Carlos? Don’t be a mug; come on in and have some intellectually nourishing citrus juice.


  • Orange (Wednesday)s and Lemons #41

    There’s a possibility we were just a little too pleased with last week’s cinematic output. Dizzy, giddy and possibly even rampant with the deadly cocktail of Tinkers, Drivers, Tyrannosaurs and Lion Kings, it was inevitable that we would crash. And so we have. Or have we? THE THREE MUSKETEERS IS OUT. We have.


  • Orange(Wednesday)s And Lemons #40

    Rarely has a week been so dripping in cinematic GOOD. Why even bother having friends when you can simply sit in the darkness and watch people you don’t know go about their lives? We call it ORANGE WEDNESDAY, you perhaps just call it What I Do Every Night. Every Horrifying Night.



  • Very Lost In Translation: the 5 US remakes we didn’t need

    With David Fincher’s remake/adaptation of Girl With The Dragon Tattoo about to hit our screens, and the rumour mill about an English adaptation of the Old Boy going into overdrive, we thought it was the perfect time to remind everyone of the horrors of Getting The Remake Wrong. There are many, many re-workings that never should have been attempted, but heck we’re all busy, so in the name of convenience we’ve handily we’ve whittled it down to the top 5 we’ll never forgive…


  • Orange(Wednesday)s And Lemons #39

    God, it’s another Wednesday. We’ll all be dead soon enough, one wonders why we bother crawling out from under our rocks day after day to drag ourselves through this ‘life’ charade we seem so fond of… Still, as long as we’re putting the effort in we might as well go to the pictures, eh? For the 39th consecutive week, we tell you exactly what to see:


  • WIN: Pina On DVD x 3

    From acclaimed director Wim Wenders (Paris, Texas, Buena Vista Social Club) comes the mesmerising PINA, released on DVD on 12 September 2011 from Artificial Eye, and we have 3 copies to give away.


  • Friday Face/Off: Dogs in film

    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…


  • Orange(Wednesday)s And Lemons #38

    How you’re supposed to fight your way through the spiky cinematic maze of Tinkers, Drivers, Abductors, Soldiers, Warriors and Soul Surfers is anyone’s guess – it’s damn fortunate then that a bit of orangey vitamin C will enhance your eyesight in the dark confusion. What? Oh whatever, all vitamins are the same, probably.


  • Friday Face/Off: James Cameron

    James Cameron – a friend or foe to the world of filmmaking? Two of our more sage/energetic crew members don their word armour and prepare for battle. Will Avatar go down in the history books?
