  • Touching Wild Horses

    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. The film deals with family relationships, the destructive power of nature and redemption through love. Not as gushing as it sounds, this is a touching story beautifully shot.


  • Dr. No

    As BlogAlongABond launches its mad campaign to get bloggers and the like (Best for Film included) to review one Bond film a month until Bond 23 comes out, we are proud to kick off our Bond remembrance season with our review of the film that started it all, Dr. No.There are four semi naked women on the original poster for Dr. No. Four. When Bond was born, there was no mistaking what the man was about; girls, cars, drinks and a licence to kill.


  • CSI: Las Vegas Season 10

    CSI: Las Vegas returns for Season 10, and the seedy location allows for some casino-based antics, wanderings in the desert, and enough dead prostitutes to start a zombie army. The American crime drama contains some good special effects, but even Morpheus can’t rescue the series from tired storylines and a lack of character development.


  • 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.


  • Client 9

    Client Nine is ostensibly a factual documentary about the fall of New York governor Elliot Spitzer, a married democrat who was found in 2008 to have seen prostitutes over a two year period. However, director and producer Alex Gibney expands his feature beyond the sex scandal, investigating the Republican enemies that Spitzer made in his tireless persecution of the money men on Wall Street, and whether a man that stood for so much should be brought down over something so (relatively) little.



  • The Dilemma

    A comedy about two couples, one huge business meeting, a three day deadline and a cheating spouse. Throw in two of the heavyweights (literally) of the comedy field in Vince Vaughn and Kevin James, and a couple of sexy WAGS in Jennifer Connelly and Winona Ryder and you should be on to a winner. Sadly for all involved, this is not the case.


  • Tangled

    Have you ever wondered how Disney might ultimately bridge the gap between its princess tradition and their more recent flirtations with CG? Ultimately a winning mix of The Princess and the Frog’s charm and Bolt’s comedy timing, Tangled certainly delivers on most levels – just not all of them.
