  • TGIM! Night of the Black Mass Allnighter

    Easter is fast approaching; it’s a celebration of Spring, of new life, of chocolate eggs and anthropomorphic bunny rabbits. And JESUS! So how better to celebrate this time of the year than with a night of Satanic spawn and devilish decadence. Wait… what? Never mind. TGIM!


  • Friday Drinking Game #45 – Dance Movies

    You just got served… a drink! In celebration of StreetDance 2 hitting our screens this weekend, we’ve gathered up our fave ever dance flicks, along with plenty of delicious alcohol, and decided to dance like no one’s watching.

  • Orange(Wednesday)s and Lemons #63

    Too hot. Too hot now. It’s been two days since winter, and already we miss winter. Why? Because we’re English, DAMMIT, and it’s our lot in life to complain about nice things. Let’s go to the cinema. It’s dark and cold there, dark and cold like our nationalistic hearts. YAY FILMS! HALF PRICE FILMS!


  • Top 10 Worst Film Trailers

    It’s a sad fact in life that, sometimes, bad trailers happen to good films.

Whatever the reason, BFF is proud to bring you a list of the top ten sexiest clergymen from the world of cinema. DISCLAIMER: This is the top ten list that the Vatican DOESN’T want you to see. Or whatever, they probably aren’t aware of its existence.


  • TGIM! Dead By Dawn Festival

    Who needs the weekend, eh? Not when you’ve got a joyful week of work, work, inertia and intellectual paralysis ahead of you, right? Alright fine, Mondays suck, but it’s our job to seek out solace. This week it’s Edinburgh’s spectacular Dead By Dawn – a horror festival like no other. Well, maybe like other horror festivals, a bit. But still. TGIM!


  • This week’s releases: the trailers

    Monday tomorrow, innit? Nay bother, let the noisy world of FILMS OUT THIS WEEK drift over your eyes like a lovely, expensive breeze, and ponder what you should watch this week as a reward for being ever so good. Who needs words when you have movey movey pictures, after all?


  • How to win the Jameson Empire’s Done In 60 Seconds Awards: a foolproof guide

    So last night we were lucky and drunk enough to attend the finals of the Jameson Empire’s Done In 60 Second Short Film competition – where short film-makers from around the world compete to distill a Hollywood blockbuster into a 60 second gem. The finalists were announced, the whiskey flowed freely and Chris O’Dowd said “I cum lego” like four times; a great evening was had by all.

  • Friday Drinking Game #44 – Dystopian Worlds

    It’s 2012. The planets are aligning; if you glance upwards into a star-filled sky, you’ll see Venus, Jupiter and Mars are all visible.

And, if you’re awesome, you’ll know that dystopian epic “The Hunger Games” is hitting cinemas everywhere. End of the world? Time for a drink then…
