2010’s Cannes Jury prize winning A Screaming Man attempts a raw, emotional inspection of the human condition pushed to breaking point. Retired swimming legend Adam, battles personal demons while around him the Chad civil war tears his home and country apart. Writer/director Mahamat-Saleh Haroun presents a raw and uncompromising perspective of a man struggling beyond his means.

Connected with the afterlife, Uxbal is a tragic hero and father of two who’s sensing the danger of death. He struggles with a tainted reality and a fate that works against him in order to get things back on track… BIUTIFUL is beautiful. And we have 3 Blu-Ray copies to give away! Competition ends 09 June 2011.

Holy Ryan Reynold’s nipples, Batman! The lean years are over at Best For Film Towers, and a fresh new flock of happy thought-scribblers have gambolled through the high gates and settled themselves in the courtyard.

We love the Cinema Caption comps in our latest fave film blog (go on, enter them yourself). We love the how-to guides even more… life lessons learned from the skewed truth of the movies. Enjoy!

Topless Robot is our film blog of the week because of its name, its thriving community and because it’s a towering zaibatsu of nerdism. Revel in it immediately.

Popcorn Addict is Film Blog of the Week because he’s righteously eclectic, quietly witty and has a sneaking love for the cinematical genius of Hanna Montana…
