To The Wonder is out now, and among the cast of Terence Malick’s newest impenetrable drama is a certain Canadian with a great big forehead and a great big heart. But will Rachel McAdams’ role be an inspired return to form for 2004’s Hollywood It Girl or a sad little footnote to a fading career? We don’t know, obviously, so we’re just having an argument.

Hello Friday drinkers! This week we have decided to created a boozy game in honour of the Australian extravaganza maker Baz Lurhmann to mark the UK rerelease of his hits Romeo + Juliet and Moulin Rouge! Join us, darlings, for a bit of insufferable inebriation. Put on your dancing shoes and grab your copy of Gatsby, for this one’s gonna need some tools.

With the Oscars almost upon us once again, we at Best For Film thought that we might profit from a review of some of the highlights said gushing award ceremony has provided us with over the years. For the sake of variety, this laudable list shall include both the famous and the infamous, the highs and the lows, the sugar and the bitters. Such a cocktail should be swirled in the mouth like the metaphorical marbles of Sir Laurence Olivier’s plumy tones, or alternatively expelled in disgust like a Michael Moore acceptance speech. The choice, our BFF Academy, is yours.

To celebrate Sammy the turtle’s epic return to the big blue screen in A Turtle’s Tale: Sammy’s Great Escape (in 3D, no less!), we’ve compiled a list of our favourite cinematic members of the order Testudines. We love a bit of turtle action here at BFF, and you know you can always count on us to deliver a comprehensive list of Hollywood reptiles (not terrapins, though, those guys are dicks). Has YOUR favourite chelonian made our Top 10? Read on to find out!

Well, it’s another incredibly boring week for cinema. Surely nobody could squeeze eight hundred words of fun and frolics out of a box office that’s mostly 90s Leo, past-it Paul Rudd and absolutely any Danny Dyer at all? Well, perhaps nobody could – but four nobodies working together have got a chance. This week’s breakdown of what not to see, brought to you by the cream of BFF:

To celebrate the upcoming release of Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters, complete with Jeremy Renner and Gemma Arterton as a ridiculously attractive (and probably incestuous) witch-busting brother and sister duo, we’ve decided to take a look at the top 10 fairytales which DESERVE to be made into films. For the good of all of us…

With the Glasgow Film Festival commencing its 9th year, we sent along two of our Highland based contributors to bring you their verdict on the line-up. Patrick Harley, determined to see an obscene amount of films over a short period of time, will be using what seconds he has spare to provide round-ups as the festival proceeds. Meanwhile when the festival ends, the fun continues, with Steven Neish on hand to select his Best of the Fest – unmissable gems you’ll be rushing to see when they come to a cinema near you. Here’s what happened on Patrick’s first day…

He wowed audiences in Django Unchained, is currently back in cinemas as Romeo and will shortly be debuting as Gatsby – is there anything Leonardo DiCaprio can’t do? Twenty years on from his first Oscar nomination, we take a look at Leonardo DiCaprio’s extraordinary career.

Future Cinema, the geniuses behind Secret Cinema, present a night at Rick’s Café Américain in the vivid world of 1940s Casablanca. The night was a spectacular success, gloating a swingin’ band, glamorous singers and, of course, piano-playing Sam and chess-playing Rick. Future Cinema successfully managed to fuse cinema and theatre in one astounding re-enactment of the one of the greatest films of all time. Gentlemen, pop your collars. Ladies, fans at the ready, as Rick welcomes you into the most famous and exclusive nightclub in all of Casablanca.

To frantically detract attention from Run For Your Wife, out in about three cinemas now, we’re devoting this week’s Face/Off to the extra who landed the unappealing role of ‘Bag Lady’ in Danny Dyer’s latest attack on cinema. Except that it wasn’t an extra, was it? It was Dame Judi Dench. John and Ray are sharpening their tongues and preparing for (completely civil, typed) battle, so pick a side and join in…
