  • Top 10 Films that Aren’t Christmassy Enough (Yet)

    In the immortal words of Noddy Holder, “IT’S CHRIIISSSSSTTTMAAAAASSS!!”. Well, not quite yet. But it is the first day of December today (we don’t miss a trick here at BFF). And to celebrate, we bring you the top ten films that sound as though they should be about Christmas but really, really aren’t. Luckily, we’ve reinvented all these titles to make them more palatable this Yule.



  • Take Shelter

    Michael Shannon shines in Jeff Nichols’ psychological drama as a man haunted by visions of the world ending. The middle section of the film is somewhat repetitive, but the last half hour will leave you teetering on the edge of your seat. Imaginative, scary, thrilling and beautiful all in one go, Take Shelter is an astonishing film that will stay with you. And probably for much longer than you’ll be comfortable with.



  • I Want to Get Married

    This film from Billy Clift exploring the issue of gay marriage loosely resembles The 40 Year Old Virgin. But where the latter succeeded in being funny, romantic AND true to life, I Want to Get Married is so confused, awkwardly directed and – at times – really quite hard to follow, that the story at its heart gets lost. Also, the main guy’s face. What is that about.



  • Monday Mash-Up: Vampires

    The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 1 has been in the cinemas for a couple of weeks and is consequently all anyone ever talks/thinks/dreams about. So here at BFF we have prepared a special vampire-themed Monday Mash-Up for you to peruse. Hidden expertly in the image below are several famed filmic vampires (or elements of them). The question is, can you guess them all before the sun comes up and burns/sparkles you to death? Good luck, friend. God be with you.



  • Friday Drinking Game #29 – Twilight

    It’s Twilight biatchessssss! Go grab your favourite girlfriends, a jumbo bag of Maltesers (only 11 calories each!) and twelve thousand bottles of cherry Lambrini because it is time to partaaayyyyyyy! Oh and bring your gun. You should maybe bring a gun as well.
