  • Best For Film is having a party

    The very first BFF Presents… is less than a month away – and you’re invited! Join us on July 9th for an evening of murder, mayhem and tombolas as we lift the lid on everything from how to get published to whether BFF writers can drink more than normal people (we definitely can).





  • Man of Steel

    Everybody knows Superman. Sometimes dismissed under the title of ‘The Big Blue Boy Scout’, he is the virtuous, infallible and virtually invincible symbol of American heroism; the superhero that begat all superheroes. Yet what’s often forgotten is that, despite possessing these traits, Superman is also something else – an alien, an ultimate example of the ‘other’. By focusing on the latter, director Zack Snyder lends interest to the former, providing a Superman whose otherworldliness serves only to make him more Earthly. It’s a strong starting point for the new franchise, but, as with the rest of mankind, this newly human Superman still has room for a little improvement.
