  • We investigate the Avengers Assemble post-credit sequence

    You’ve all seen Marvel Avengers Assemble by now, right? Well, we have some theories about that mysterious fellow who showed up at the end. Massive spoiler warnings from hereonin, obviously, but if you’re wondering why people keep saying things like ‘Thanos’, ‘Infinity Gauntlet’ and ‘destroying half of all the living creatures in existence’ then you’d better read on…


  • Top 10 most ridiculous names in Hollywood

    Hey, do you have a name? I don’t care really. You’re not famous. Neither is Frances Gumm. Or should I say JUDY GARLAND. Come on peeps, we all know they laughed at old Gummy’s face when she came to an audition. Why, Virginia McMath was probably a boffin before she became Ginger Rogers, and don’t even get me started on Archie Leach. What’s in a name? Well, I’m gonna show you.


  • Orange(Wednesday)s and Lemons #68

    It’s May, the month of flowers and solidarity with the international working class! What better time to take advantage of a promotion which will allow you to spend slightly less than usual on the grotesquely overpriced luxury that is going to the cinema? Those Avengers aren’t going to watch themselves!


  • TGIM! The Rooftop Film Club returns

    At Best For Film Towers we’re not generally keen on sunshine – it highlights all the dark circles from late nights spent watching Troll 2 and Last Action Hero, not to mention the wine stains where you missed your mouth in a pitch black cinema – but if summer has one thing to offer us, it’s the matchless Rooftop Film Club. And as of this week, it’s back!


  • This week’s releases: the trailers

    Ever-lurking like the memory of the time you did that really awful thing, we will never, ever be free of Monday. The best we can do is run into its embrace with a knife behind our back, willing to stab it six ways from Friday evening. We’re a bit lost now, to be honest, but let’s commiserate the start of another week by devouring this week’s top releases: the trailer editions.


  • Top 10 Versus Films

    In this vast, unknowable, ever-changing universe there are few things which we can safely rely on to remain constant. Thus those that do, those that struggle on relentlessly, blithely ignoring the evanescent nature of human existence – taxes, the Kardashians, films which pit one mythical creature/alien/abstract concept against another in a brutal fight to the death – can only bring us joy. In recognition, then, of the grand tradition of the “something vs something else” film – and to celebrate the release of Strippers vs. Werewolves – we bring you the Top Ten Versus Films. Enjoy! But remember, whoever wins, we lose/get eaten.


  • Orange(Wednesday)s and Lemons #67

    OH SWEET JESUS, HAVE YOU SEEN THE RAIN? April is determined to go out with a soggy bang, and now all your plans for a nice picnic have been drowned in sky-water there’s literally no reason for you not to go to the cinema tonight. You could even take in your pork pies and ginger beer and that! Thrift and films and pretending to be in the Famous Five, that’s the Best For Film way…


  • In Defence of Robert Pattinson

    Every group needs a hate figure. In music, it’s the squeaky voiced sick-midget Justin Bieber, in Christianity it’s that scheming git Judas, and in film that hate figure has gradually become mop-haired vampire-face Robert Pattinson. But guys, c’mon! Don’t hate the player, hate the game! The game in this case being “make loadsa cash out of thick people-ball”. Pattinson’s not to blame, he’s just trying his best.


  • Cheat Sheet: Samuel L. Jackson

    This week he’s starring in the fifth of nine Marvel movies due to feature his gleaming head and mellifluous voice. Last week he was probably playing golf. Next week he’ll be straight back to making another film, because that’s how he rolls. This week’s cheat sheet is all about Samuel L. Jackson, which automatically makes it the most badass Cheat Sheet of all time.


  • TGIM! Sundance London

    “Oh no, it’s Monday and the rain’s come tumbling down and not even Russell Crowe in his big new boat can save me from drowning in April malaise and literal water.” Button your lip, nay-sayer! Robert Redford just rode into town with a holster full of Sundance; there’s never been a better reason to pull on an anorak and brave the storm. Thank God it’s Monday!
