To celebrate the utterly incomparable Big Sleep’s 65th birthday, we have a little look at why its still just as resonant today as it was back in 1946. Femme fatales, intertwining murders, media-cover ups and Humphrey bloomin Bogart – it’s time to dole out the whiskey, light up your finest cuban and sink into the epitome of Noir cool.

A one-off, exclusive gala screening of Focus Features’ Jane Eyre is set to take place on Sunday, 4th September at the beautiful Haddon Hall in Derbyshire, and we’ve got 2 pairs of tickets to give away!

It’s nearly Bank Holiday weekend, and thunder is shaking the turrets of Best For Film Towers. Perfect. As you prepare for your thoroughly underwhelming trips to Margate, Skegness or possibly Croydon, spare a thought for the grammatical gladiators assigned to fight it out in the unseasonably empty arena of the Friday Face/Off! All together now: a long time ago, in a galaxy far far away…

Hurrah snakes and relief cats – Best For Film towers is no longer a sad, lonely and worryingly stained place. To celebrate the new blood keeping John and Tash animated until the thirst must be slaked again we say to you: TIS WEDNESDAY. TIS TIME FOR DISCOUNT CINEMA.

Week two of John and Tash battling through alone, and tensions are running high. They barely need an excuse for an argument, so thank goodness it’s Friday. This week the hot topic is singers taking the spotlight – a good idea for film at large or no?

The weather’s on the turn, you’re looking more haggard by the day and your most cherished family pet is still dead. What else is there to do but TWO FOR ONE CINEMA? We discuss this week’s releases, get our freebies on and feel a bit guilty about the pet thing we said earlier.

It’s the end of the week, we’re sick of looking at each other and according to recent developments it looks like violence gets you on TV. What else is there to do but Face/Off? Today it’s a twisty little topic; the art of the adaptation.

The Interrupters is one gang violence film that manages to avoid showing much in the way of gang violence. Set in areas of Chicago run by prominent local gangs renowned for fatal conflicts, the film captures a year in the lives of three “violence interrupters”, Ameena, Cobe and Eddie. They work for CeaseFire, an organisation which claims to treat violence as infectious diseases are treated: that is, to interrupt it at the source. Relevant much?

It’s that time of the regular internship cycle again, and John and Tash are once more holed up alone in the crumbling remnants of Best For Film Towers. Were it not for a few brave volunteers, they’d be facing the arcane might of Orange and its Wednesdays alone. Join them and bring Kevin James to his massive knees!

This week, Adam Sandler emerged as the third highest-paid actor in the world for 2010/11. One of our faithful team of word-wranglers rejoiced at this news, whilst the other bit a copy of You Don’t Mess with the Zohan in half. Guess which was which? It’s time to Face/Off…
