As the women of Britain mourn the passing of Mark Darcy, I found myself overwhelmed with an impulse to watch Bridget Jones’ Diary, which I haven’t done for about six years. I’m really glad I did, as it proved to be incredibly educational. Here are some things I learnt.

It’s not that we don’t love Austen, alright? It’s not that we don’t know that everyone loves Austen, and not loving Austen is a crime punishable by excommunication, execution and the interminable exhaustion of Being Wrong on the internet. We love Austen too, in a limited but very real sense. But you can have enough Austen. You can.

Naomi Watts’ portrayal of the People’s Princess has drawn widespread ridicule from the British press, because it’s awful. So where are we to go to for our easily-digestible snapshots of Diana’s life? Netflix, obviously. Here are our top 5 reasons to spurn Diana and head instead for Diana: Her True Story.

Now that Maleficent has been given a backstory to help us UNDERSTAND why she’s so evil, we reckon the rest of the Disney villains need to share their psycho-damaging woes with the world. You’ll never look at Scar the same way again…

Either I’ve reached the age where I identify with the parents in high school movies, rather than the teenagers themselves (how depressing), or they were some of the best characters to start with.

The dreaded day has finally arrived – Hugh Jackman has heavily implied that when X-Men: Days of Future Past comes out next year he’ll be hanging up his fifteen year old adamantium claws for good. Someone’s got to take over – but who? TOP TEN TIME, X-speculators!

Numerous films have included casino gaming in some capacity. For some films, the inclusion has provided for some exciting scenes that make indelible marks in the memories of viewers. Many of these scenes have involved the game of poker.

Colours are just wonderful. Think about how many wonderful colours there are in this world, like magenta and brown. Also wonderful: films! Woody Allen’s latest film Blue Jasmine is out today, which has us very excited because it is a film with a colour in the title. If you don’t see where this is going you don’t know us very well at all.

Best of the Year is back, and this time we’re looking back almost a decade (Christ, can you believe Mean Girls is nine years old?) to the bright comedy lights of 2004, a golden age for charmingly stupid films with Ben Stiller in. Although we haven’t included Meet the Fockers, because it’s awful.
