The story of how a young woman learned to stop worrying and start loving love, unemployment and the combination of cheese and bacon. Rebecca is a super successful businesswoman. We..

Twitter has lit up this morning with the news that Tom Daley, that lovely diver boy who now seems to do more TV than swimming, has outed himself as bisexual in a pleasant and unassuming little YouTube video. So, obviously, we’re getting a blog out of it. YOU KNOW HOW WE DO.

Two things, specifically, make the Romans attractive to filmmakers: Christians, and depraved emperors. As a result, they’re now are cemented in cinema as dastardly villains, mad emperors, sex crazed ladies, and gays. Probably incestuous gays. Or bestial gays. Or whatever the worst thing you can think of is. And quite rightly so, the Romans were bastards; that’s why I like them. So here, in no particular order (except number one, which is definitely number one) are my favourite Romans in film.

I am not afraid to say it, dear readers: I’m bored of Dickens. Not his stories, per se- she who is tired of A Christmas Carol is tired of life- but I’m bored of talking about Dickens, and Dickens’ troubled childhood in the bottle factory, and Dickens’ hilarious unsettling names for his children, and Dickens’ affairs. Frankly, dear readers, he’s just the least exciting affair-haver in Christendom. Old rich man boffs secretary. Readers appalled.

Britain’s famously drug-addled press has gone mental at the recent suggestion that Nigella Lawson may have developed a bit of a taste for Charlie over the last few years; apparently the fact that this charge is being levelled at her by her insane ex-husband / some ex-employees who she’s suing isn’t at all relevant.

As part of their enduring commitment to fostering the next generation of great filmmakers, the wise and beautiful folk at BAFTA have pulled some strings to get YOU, young aspiring screenwriter, an audience with some of the most successful Hollywood pen-pushers of the last twenty years. Sort of.

The trailer for a new epic film exploring the life of the Christian martyr St Catherine of Alexandria has just been released, and since we like nothing more than overanalysis we’re devoting a whole blog to it. For the first time in three years, John’s theology degree may actually come in handy (but don’t hold your breath).

London – Christmas in a Day, a brand new documentary film from Oscar-winning director Kevin Macdonald (Marley, The Last King of Scotland, Touching the Void), brings to life how Britain really celebrates Christmas. The film will premiere on YouTube on 29th November.

Katniss Everdeen is back in cinemas today with The Hunger Games: Catching Fire, in which she will once again rock out with a bow while namby pamby Josh Hutcherson makes croissants and cries for his mummy. But Katniss and Hawkeye and their arrow-slinging ilk are only the tip of the iceberg. Here we explore some forgotten heroes of the world of, errm, archering.

On Sunday, Best For Film was lucky enough to be invited along to the British Academy Scotland Awards 2013 – the Scottish BAFTAs – at Glasgow’s swanky Radisson Blu hotel. Hosted by Edith Bowman, and attracting such great Scots as Brian Cox, Kate Dickie and Gary Tank Commander, the ceremony aimed to spotlight and celebrate an incredibly strong year for Scottish cinema.
