All we need now is to hear that he’s the new Bond…
Not Monday! Anything but Monday! Today is, according to science, the most depressing day of the year, except for that time you woke up naked in that barn. So, luckily for you we’re all about making your faces do the happy stretch. This week, get your French TV on with the the first ever French And British TV Festival at the Institut Français. Mon Dieu!
This Wednesday marks the release of Steven “I’m definitely going to stop being a director soon and paint pretty pictures” Soderbergh’s new film, Haywire, which stars Mixed Martial Arts champion Gina Carano. Presumably she spends the film going around beating up loads and loads of people with her martial arts skills. We literally can’t wait for that. Especially if she roundhouse kicks Ewan McGregor in the face. Anyways, to celebrate the release of this film, BFF has compiled a list of the top ten women who would kick you into next Tuesday if you tried to hold the door open for them. Enjoy!
Why doesn’t someone put Ricky Gervais in a silent film?
More like Murkwood. Give those spiders hell, Bilbs!
War Horse is out – it’s time to get pissed and watch films about war! And horses! And horses in war! But if there’s one thing war horses love, it’s rules; rules like ‘every horse gets a sugar cube after a hard day’s war’ and ‘no matter how long the war goes on, don’t eat your horse’. If you need some horse/war-related rules, you’ve come to the right place.
Haywire is a funny little thing, a strange mix of gritty action, suave loitering and lots and lots of running. Star Gina Carano is supremely believable as Woman Who Will Kill Everyone, but she never seems quite at home amongst Soderbergh’s splashy cymbals and stylish basslines. At the end of the day, just as Statham will never be Bond, Carano just doesn’t suit the slick-suited world of pseudo-spying – just let her loose in Dublin with a baseball bat and a score to settle next time, eh?
