Jodie Foster washes her hands of The Beaver. We’ve all been there. Fair play.
In a bleak twist of fate, Best For Film Towers has been left undefended. The interns have fallen, forcing John to head off on an epic quest to replenish the troops; thank goodness he can call upon old allies to see him through these dark times. Step up to the brink, weary soldiers – you are now the only thing standing between the fearsome dragons of modern civilisation and your beloved BFF. Prove your worth and select the best films out this week, stat…
Rarely has a film with so much hype failed so horribly to deliver. Director Tony Gilroy seems to think he could get away with remaking the first Bourne, except without the amnesia.

Look, sure, any sane person is going to be saving up their film-cash for next week when they can go watch The Hunger Games , but frankly, if you’re a sane person, you’re probably not still on-board with this as a credible film website. With that it mind, it’s OFF TO THE CINEMA WE GO! TWO FOR ONE! NONSENSE FOREVER!
