  • Friday Drinking Game #74 – Zombie Films

    To herald the release of Warm Bodies, we’ve got a brand spanking new drinking game that’ll require you to wipe the dust off your copy of Night of the Living Dead and drink. A lot. No longer will you need to be afraid of these flesh-eating terrorists, because every time they do something irrational or conventionally zombie-like, you’ll be drunk and won’t notice when they eat your face off.


  • The Book Club Special Screening: Marfa Girl

    This free screening of Larry Clark’s new film, Marfa Girl at The Book Club in Shoreditch is especially exclusive as it is the only public screening of the film in the UK . Although this is a one-off public screening, you can also watch the small-town Texan film online.


  • Horror Films 2013 – our Top 10 picks

    According to statistics, you guys just can’t get enough of scaring yourselves shitless. Always keen to please, us lovely folks at BFF have collaborated a Top 10 list of the best horror films we think will be worth crapping your pants for this year. And with Texas Chainsaw 3D thoroughly shoved under the carpet forever, we can start with some decent horrors. Sadly, Jesus Hates Zombies didn’t make the cutting. So what did?


  • Best for Film’s Favourite Flicks #11 – Barbarella

    Best for Film’s Favourite Flicks returns! This time with a Flossie edition, making it a ‘BFFFFFE’, if you can keep up with that. Barbarella is somewhat of a guilty pleasure for me, but I am not ashamed enough to deny myself this opportunity to praise this weird and wonderful sci-fi film from the 60s. Here, Jane Fonda is a total screen goddess and it’s difficult not to fall for her sexy superhero look.


  • Top 10 REAL Disney villains on trial

    Disney films are, as we all know, based on inspiring stories of good overcoming evil. Or are they? Think vandalism, self-sacrifice, kidnap, false imprisonment, blackmail and murder. Think regicide. Think false heroes paraded through the world of animation, held up as icons to children too young to know better. But WE know better. And while you might think Maleficent, Captain Hook and the numerous Wicked Stepmothers are the bad guys of Disney, you’re sorely mistaken.

    It’s time to take a long hard look at the top 10 real Disney villains – and, this time around, they’re paying for their crimes…


  • Cheat Sheet: Bill Murray

    Bill Murray is back on our screens again as President Franklin Roosevelt in Hyde Park on Hudson.

So we rustled some stuff together and knocked one out in honour of the great man for your delectation. Enjoy.


  • Monday Face/Off – Nicole Kidman

    For our fourth Monday Face/Off, we at BFF Towers have decided to mark imminent release of Stoker with a titanic battle over the worth of Australian Oscar winner Nicole Kidman. In the film, Tom Cruise’s ex plays the unstable mother of India (not the nation), whose father has just passed away, and his mysterious brother comes to move in with them. Tagged: DO NOT DISTURB THE FAMILY, we shall determine whether dearest Nicole is disturbingly good or simply disturbing. In the pro camp stands Ray, ready to defend NK’s honour: in the anti-camp stands Carlotta, sharpening her knives in anticipation of a slaughter. Let the butchery begin!

  • Cheat Sheet: Jessica Chastain

    Jessica Chastain has been in over a dozen films in the two years since she appeared on our radar in Take Shelter in 2010. This year she received her second Oscar nomination, for her portrayal of the CIA agent who found Osama Bin Laden in Zero Dark Thirty. She also won a Golden Globe for the role. This flame-haired beauty continues to impress us as she turns out wonderful performance after wonderful performance. Is there nothing she can’t do?
