    Edward Norton continues his string of underwhelming films that threatens to undermine the legacy of perhaps the finest American actor of the 90s. Writer-director Tim Blake Nelson apes the Coens with this tale of quirky criminals, but can’t match the Brothers Grim for inventiveness and assurance.


  • Dawn of Evil: Rise of the Reich

    The pure range of emotions one experiences when watching Dawn of Evil: Rise of the Reich!
    Shock, disgust, hilarity and awe all flit among the shadowy recesses of your mind in this ‘biopic’ of a young Adolf Hitler, which manages to be both stupid, and offensive.


  • The Secret In Their Eyes

    Ricardo Darín and Soledad Villamil star in a labyrinthine homicide thriller which twists, turns and generally contorts itself through the corrupt underbelly of 70s Argentine law enforcement. It doesn’t sound great, does it? Well, it bloody is great. So there.

    A gentle family film depicting the relationship between a young boy and the aunt he is sent to live with, set on the beautiful Sable Island.

When Bond was born, there was no mistaking what the man was about; girls, cars, drinks and a licence to kill.


  • The Thin Red Line (1964)

    Looked at your DVD collection and realised you’re missing some good old war epics? Never fear, as Best for Film brings you the review of this re-release of the 1964 classic The Thin Red Line. Grab your gun and don’t leave a man behind for this first time adaptation of James Jones’s book of the same name.


  • Cannibal Girls

    Before the glorious Ghostbusters, producer Ivan Reitman made the classic horror comedy Cannibal Girls. An intentional mishmash of 1973 cheese-sleaze and nifty schlock-horror, Cannibal Girls boasted the tagline “they love every man they meet and the meat on every man”…


  • Decision Before Dawn

    A unique take on a World War II film, Decision Before Dawn charts two Germans as they become double agents for the American army. With a realistic location, fine performances, and the natural tension that accompanies any spy plot, this war drama is well worth a viewing.
