Our bafflingly successful Face/Off 2013 series continues with a totally unbiased assessment of actor, singer, rapper (seriously) and Friend of Cetaceans Dick Van Dyke. Van Dyke may have been honoured with a lifetime achievement gong at last night’s SAG Awards, but is the octogenarian star of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang a living legend or just a wrinkled embarrassment who refuses to lie down and die? Don’t decide now, wait for the shouting to subside…
Right, so you must all know by now that Arnie is making his big, explosive, swash-buckling return to leading action man status following his brief hiatus to run the government of California or something. To celebrate the release of The Last Stand today, we have of course, prepared our 73rd Friday Drinking Game in honour of the Austrian Terminator. Let the bollocks commence!
With news from Harvard that we may soon be cloning an authentic Neanderthal (if the scientists can find ‘an enthusiastic female’ to impregnate), we got to thinking about films that have featured clones over the years. The list below should be a top ten, but has become a Top 10 + 2, presumably because a process of cloning clone films and unintentionally breeding new ones has also been occurring without our knowledge. Either way, here is our top 10 (+2) clone films. Enjoy enjoy enjoy enjoy….
We might have to make this the last ever OWLs, just because the thought of writing the same blog one hundred times makes us feel so boring we’re in danger of self-destructing. So, goodbye from everyone at Best Fo… oh, who are we kidding? We’ll be back next week telling you to take a pillow if you’re going to see Lincoln, but for now settle back and prepare to be told your new opinions!
Week 2 of the revived Face/Off, and in our quest to smear everyone likely to lift an Oscar next month we’re going after Steven ‘literally the world’s most popular director’ Spielberg and his endless production line of successful, enjoyable, inoffensive cinema. You bastard, Steve. Sod your New Year’s Resolution to think only kind thoughts, it’s time to FACE/OFF!
The release of Gangster Squad has got us reminiscing about our favourite screen mobsters, and we thought it was about time someone lent a voice to the most unsung criminal masterminds in film. But don’t go looking for Goodfellas and Godfathers – we’ve excluded Scorsese, because his characters are a whole top 10 on their own. NO MORE shall these forgotten bandits be ignored. Who’s the most ruthless, the most unsung gangster of them all? (Some of these are cartoons, by the way. What does that tell you about your childhood?)
Look, it’s a BFF infographic! The lovely folks at BikeBandit have given us this insight into the biggest, baddest, and most homoerotically leather-clad men ever to grasp a great big engine between their thighs and tear up the freeway, or down the highway, or similar. Vroom!
At BestForFilm, we take the attitude that people who buy Tesco value beefburgers probably deserve whatever they get. However, if your lunch has been interrupted by some unwanted equine DNA (and let’s face it, who wants DNA in their lunch? It’d get tangled round the salad) then we can offer assistance. For your lip-smacking delectation, we present the top 10 burgers in cinema – and there’s not a horse to be seen.
Set to run from February 14th – February 24th, Glasgow Film Festival has this week announced its line-up for 2013. With some incredible films in the schedules, we at Best For Film are here to make much ado about something.
Can you hear the people sing, singing a song of miserable men? We’re not too miserable this week, but we are juicy – juicy with orange juice! And lemon juice! And this doesn’t really make sense, does it? No matter, there’s a load of new films out and you can see them for half price if you have a friend! Oh, do you not? Sorry.
