Hollywood Haikus blogging competition ends 23 May. Enter now for your chance to win blog promotion and a Blu-Ray Player! Ever thought to yourself, ‘sure, film reviews are nice and all, but jeepers they’re long and hardly ever have anything to do with traditional Japanese poetry’? Hell, it’s what we got stitched onto the BFF doilies. That’s why we’ve decided to launch our HOLLYWOOD HAIKUS competition!

We’re always happy to check out a film short featuring not only a mermaid but a stunt mermaid, and not only a Keith but a Keith from The Office. We interview the twisty creators of Fish! (one of them was in Doctor Who you know) before they go and peddle their filmy flesh at Cannes 2011.

Having said tearful goodbyes to our latest band of innocent intern dream-punchers, it’s left to the haggard founders to drag the tattered decorations of ORANGE WEDNESDAYS HURRAH out of storage, and hang them in the now silent corridors of Best For Film towers. It’s never the same, but WE MUST GO ON. Sigh. At least we’ve got Winnie the Pooh, eh?

Psst! What do you know about Marion Cotillard? Yeah, obviously she’s gorgeous – and yes, she was indeed in bloody Inception. Honestly, is that all you’ve got? It’s a worry, it really is. If we were you, we’d be on the look out for some sort of helpful sheet of facts with which you could cheat your way through a conversation about her…

Who, in the entire history of the movies, has been the most badly behaved? Whose pursuit of sex, drugs and glory was the most relentless, debauched or just downright deplorable? We raise our shot glasses to our Top 10 real life movie LADS, all of whom go to prove that rock and roll is alive, well, and probably trying to sleep with you.

It’s the 14th Monday since we started our quest to mash up absolutely everyone in the world with a conveniently rhyming name. Bet you didn’t expect us to last this long, did you? Neither did we, so for God’s sake have a look and validate all the wasted hours we’ve spent putting people on top of other people for no reason whatsoever.

INK is a Gaimanesque glossy low-budget indie film that’s taken sci-fi fans by storm. We talk to director Jamin Winans about dreams, nightmares, mythology and his upcoming sci-fantasy film project…

It’s hardly a secret that we’re big fans of independent cinemas, but we’re also big fans of London and get a bit scared of crossing the M25 lest we melt. Fortunately, our newest and shiniest writer Duncan has no such qualms; he’s bringing you all you need to know on the venerable Duke of York, the pride of sunny Brighton. Hurrah!

With Hollywood apparently caught on repeat with nothing making it past the fourth instalment unless its a decade on and eligible for an encore, I ask if the current stream of superhero reboots are necessarily a bad thing. While Christopher Nolan might be leaving Gotham, and as the Justice League may necessitate a different Batman, this reboot culture has left many more winners and losers in its wake.

You know what’s better than Wednesday? Friday. But screw you guys, we’ll probably all be dead by then. Let us rejoice at our current aliveness; let us read words about the cinema, understand the words about the cinema and act on the words about the cinema. Hey, let’s go to the cinema! Wednesday!
