Another day, another festive video! Check out our daily Advent Calendar for all the good cheer you need to get you through this dreadful time of year.

“Mononymous?” we hear you cry, “What the deuce does that mean?” Don’t worry. Let us explain. Martin Scorsese’s Hugo is out today and in order to celebrate this momentous occasion, we have decided to prepare for you a list of the top ten films with titles that are a single name. Apparently, “mononymous” means this, thus we bring you the Top Ten Mononymous Film Titles.

Take Shelter is destroying cinema screens up and down the country with a combination of tornadoes, earthquakes and Michael Shannon, and if we somehow live through that there’s always another film waiting to wipe out humanity. Still, you’ve got to laugh, eh? Rather than get depressed about the inevitable extinguishing of our world, we’ve decided to look at Hollywood’s top 10 most baffling apocalyptic films…

It’s day one of our cinematic advent calendar! Unfortunately, though, Mr Takagi won’t be joining us… for the rest of his life…

Significant other forget to buy you an Advent calendar again? Never mind, darling, we’re here to dry your tears. Every day from now until we get bored Christmas Eve, you can open a fresh window and find cinematic treats behind it!

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.

Did you read that thing in the news today? Dreadful, wasn’t it? And that other thing, that thing that happened in the place? Miserable. And that guy, that awful guy, well… what a world. Still, there’s always TWO FOR ONE CINEMA, isn’t there? Drowning out all earthly worries with stoic passivity will almost definitely make everything OK. What are we watching this week? READ ON.

So Ken Russell has passed away peacefully in his sleep, aged 84. Everyone’s talking about it, but here you are desperately trying to think of a subtler way of saying “Who is the nine hells is Ken Russell?” Don’t worry, as always, we’ve got your back: here’s everything you wanted to know (and a few things you didn’t) about legendary film maverick Ken Russell.

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.

Don’t miss this month’s eclectic and fun Rotoreliefs short film evening at Rich Mix!
