Child actors, eh? They’re fine – a little creepy, perhaps, but fine. The trouble comes when they stop being child actors – some fade quietly into the undergrowth and a few go on to glittering careers as real actors, but many others fall by the wayside, unable to survive the transition to adult actorhood. Maybe they just shouldn’t try? John and Florence duke it out…

With the devastating news that The Muppets will not be doling out the orders at the 2012 Academy Awards, our faith in the entire organisation has gone to pot. Should we even bother with this evening of glittery, dead-eyed back-slapping? Would we if Hugh Jackman was involved? Shall we just watch that opening number one more time? Two of our writers hash it out, or at least they will until we turn off the mics and pump up the music…

Thinking about rewatching From Hell this Hallowe’en weekend? Before you do, cast an eye over this week’s Face/Off, where two of our most debauched and confused writers will be trying to hammer out an answer to that thorny old question: are films adaptations of Alan Moore graphic novels universally dreadful? Come, read and make up your mind…

Everyone’s got an opinion on dogs; either you like nothing more than to fling sticks, collect turds and have your face licked (bringing you just one degree of bacterial separation away from canine penis) or you’d rather all vets started offering complimentary sack’n’brick combos with every collar bought. Hollywood’s certainly not exempt from our collective love affair with hounds; but what do John and Caroline think? It’s time to Face/Off…

James Cameron – a friend or foe to the world of filmmaking? Two of our more sage/energetic crew members don their word armour and prepare for battle. Will Avatar go down in the history books? Is 3D worth any extra penny we pay? Was there really room on that door for both of them? Read on to find out…

Deadpool, or dead in the water? This week we’re focussing our boozy (yet sharp like an icy axe) gaze upon one of the more debatable talents of Hollywood: the suspiciously affable Ryan Reynolds. Is he a genuine talent with a string of bad choices behind him, or simply a series of sculpted limbs with nothing to lose?

The division between celebrities’ public and private lives is growing ever more meaningless, with debauched actors regularly incurring more column inches for their off-camera shenanigans than their performances. But do they deserve this punishing degree of scrutiny? Two of our writers go head to head in this week’s Face/Off…

It’s nearly Bank Holiday weekend, and thunder is shaking the turrets of Best For Film Towers. Perfect. As you prepare for your thoroughly underwhelming trips to Margate, Skegness or possibly Croydon, spare a thought for the grammatical gladiators assigned to fight it out in the unseasonably empty arena of the Friday Face/Off! All together now: a long time ago, in a galaxy far far away…

Week two of John and Tash battling through alone, and tensions are running high. They barely need an excuse for an argument, so thank goodness it’s Friday. This week the hot topic is singers taking the spotlight – a good idea for film at large or no?

It’s the end of the week, we’re sick of looking at each other and according to recent developments it looks like violence gets you on TV. What else is there to do but Face/Off? Today it’s a twisty little topic; the art of the adaptation.
