Yesterday, legendary film critic Roger Ebert died after eleven years of battling cancer. The Internet is justly saturated with tributes to the greatest man ever to publicly send Rob Schneider to the burns unit, and Best For Film’s editor John has stirred from his customary torpor to offer up a not-quite-to-deadline obituary for the king of the critics.

It’s TGIF, people! And as such, we at BFF have devised another cunning way for you to get off-your-rocker-hammered with a Friday Drinking Game that is devoted whole heartedly to our alien neighbors. Not the mind-your-business-and-we’ll-mind-ours variety but the kind that has a bit of a hard-on for invasion. Seems fitting really, seeing as both The Host and Dark Skies are now on show at a cinema near you.

Where’s better to spend your hard earned English pounds to watch a film of an evening? A large commercial cinema with a gargantuan screen, copious amounts of food and customers who can’t put their phones away for a single second; or a smaller independent cinema that boasts a serious love for film and occasionally provides free tea because the heating’s knackered?

We’ve teamed our favourite TV shows with our favourite cocktails to give you one hell of a journey into an inebriated medieval paradise. Do your worst, Joffrey. We’ve got daiquiris on our side…

Hollywood is in mourning for Withnail And I star Richard Griffiths, who died last week aged 65 due to complications following heart surgery. We’ve decided to pay our respects to this unforgettable actor, Best For Film style, with a Top 10 list…

Do you know what? Good Friday is depressing. It’s all about Jesus dying, in pain and agony, and we can’t think of a more misleading religious holiday. It should be called… I dunno, BAD Friday. DEAD Friday. Something more honest, at least. Whatever. Because we’re good people, we’re going to inject the ‘Good’ back into our Friday with lots of alcohol and plenty of Jesus-fuelled fun. it’s what he would’ve wanted…
