  • News Round-Up May 7th-11th

    Another week rolls to a close, and yet again you haven’t kept up on the constant flood of cinematic nonsense which issues from the mouths of actors, publicists and (most importantly) us. Thank god for our conveniently bite-sized News Round-Up, eh? If only all revision was this much fun.


  • Top 10 Presidents in Film

    You know who’s great? President Barack Obama. Not only is he unsettlingly charismatic he has also just declared (finally) that he is in favour of same sex marriage, effectively kicking all his Republican opponents in their rigidly conservative/homophobic nuts. TAKE THAT TO YO’ TEA PARTY, NEWT. In honour of this momentous occasion (and also to herald the almost release of this gem), BFF brings you the Top Ten list of movie presidents (both fictional and non-fictional for double the pleasure!).


  • Orange(Wednesday)s and Lemons #69

    It’s the sexiest OW&L in history, which makes it just 14% less sexy than everything else on the internet. Let’s celebrate by going into a dark room, getting nice and close and WATCHING AVENGERS ASSEMBLE ALL OVER AGAIN! Or whatever. Your call, hot stuff.


  • Cheat Sheet: Glenn Close

    She’s been winning rave reviews for her performance as a repressed, cross-dressing woman in Albert Nobbs, and we all remember her preparing that impromptu rabbit stew, but who is the real Glenn Close? If only there was a way to find out just enough to bluff a conversation without having to leave this site…


  • This week’s releases: the trailers

This week’s releases in lovely trailer format – wrap that poor mind of yours around some soothing flashy noise.


  • News Round-Up April 30th – May 4th

    It’s been another jam-packed week here in the world of film, but we understand that you’re a busy bee and you can’t be expected to keep up with our entire news output. So here, once again, is our handy Saturday digest of the week’s top stories. It’s like time-travelling, but not nearly as good!


  • We investigate the Avengers Assemble post-credit sequence

    You’ve all seen Marvel Avengers Assemble by now, right? Well, we have some theories about that mysterious fellow who showed up at the end. Massive spoiler warnings from hereonin, obviously, but if you’re wondering why people keep saying things like ‘Thanos’, ‘Infinity Gauntlet’ and ‘destroying half of all the living creatures in existence’ then you’d better read on…


  • Top 10 most ridiculous names in Hollywood

    Hey, do you have a name? I don’t care really. You’re not famous. Neither is Frances Gumm. Or should I say JUDY GARLAND. Come on peeps, we all know they laughed at old Gummy’s face when she came to an audition. Why, Virginia McMath was probably a boffin before she became Ginger Rogers, and don’t even get me started on Archie Leach. What’s in a name? Well, I’m gonna show you.


  • Orange(Wednesday)s and Lemons #68

    It’s May, the month of flowers and solidarity with the international working class! What better time to take advantage of a promotion which will allow you to spend slightly less than usual on the grotesquely overpriced luxury that is going to the cinema? Those Avengers aren’t going to watch themselves!


  • TGIM! The Rooftop Film Club returns

    At Best For Film Towers we’re not generally keen on sunshine – it highlights all the dark circles from late nights spent watching Troll 2 and Last Action Hero, not to mention the wine stains where you missed your mouth in a pitch black cinema – but if summer has one thing to offer us, it’s the matchless Rooftop Film Club.
