BEST FOR FILM LAUNCHES CHRISTMAS WRITING COMPETITION

Calling all LAMBS! We want to read your film reviews! Say you’re a LAMB blogger when entering this competition and we’ll make sure your posted entry has a link to your blog! And if you spread the word, we’ll be honoured and grateful.

Looking for a creative project over the festive season? Film website bestforfilm.com is excited to announce the launch of Write Christmas; a yuletide writing competition with a once in a lifetime first prize. Read on for more details…

THE COMPETITION

http://bestforfilm.com/community/write-christmas-competition/

The concept of Write Christmas is simple – to write a film review of the greatest Christmas film never made. With Hollywood churning out the same old Christmas tat every year, it’s difficult to see how we’ll ever get a truly brilliant NEW Christmas story on our screens. Best For Film are looking for fantastic writers to review the NEXT greatest, most ridiculous, potentially iconic Christmas film – the fact that it doesn’t actually exist yet is merely a quibble.

THE JUDGES
Our panel of esteemed judges includes:

LARUSHKA IVAN-ZADEH – Film editor of The Metro (3.5 million readers every weekday)
EMMA KENNEDY – actress (Notes on a Scandal), author, film critic for the Danny Baker show
CLEOLINDA JONES – parody film critic, author, blogger

THE PRIZES

First Prize:
- A real-life A1 poster of your made-up movie as imagined by OTM Entertain, the world-famous design team team that brought you the posters for The Hurt Locker, In The Loop, Splice and The Losers. Blimey!
- One hundred pounds to spend as you deem fit
- Publication on bestforfilm.com

Two runners up will receive:
- fifty pounds each
- Publication on bestforfilm.com

THE DETAILS
You have until the 24th December to enter, by emailing your glorious review to info@bestforfilm.com, with “Write Christmas” in the subject line.

Interested? Learn more about the judging details on the official website –

So, from a sombre review of Tim Burton’s unmade fantasy “Twas the Cheekbone before Christmas” to a brilliant write-up of Michael Bay’s never made classic “When Santa Exploded” – Best For Film wants to read the review of the best Christmas film we’ll never get to see. You’ve got until the 24th to get scribbling – the same deadline as Santa! How could it be any other way…

For more information and images please contact Magda Knight at info@bestforfilm.com

Last year I decided to be a Scrooge and not watch any Christmas themed films and therefore deemed it to be a holiday season full of Hammer Horror, I thoroughly enjoyed it and got a nice response from some of my fellow Hammer fans so this year I’m bringing it back… with a twist. In an attempt to not exclude the tastes of everyone this years Hammer Holiday Marathon will span the entire Hammer catalog with reviews of two films from each decade of the film company’s existence during the periods of the 1930’s - 1970’s. So we should have a nice mixture of thrillers, horrors and noir. Below are the ten films I’ll be reviewing in the order I’ll be reviewing them, no particular reason for the choices they’re simply a selection of Hammer films I’ve been meaning to watch. Also look for more editions of the Women of Hammer feature and a few other special bonus reviews of Hammer related goodness.

Film lovers,

Many of your fellow bloggers have already promoted the “Movie Blogger Survey” by adding a dedicated post on their blogs and will be receiving their free DVD very shortly.

Surprisingly enough, the film most bloggers have chosen from our DVD selection is Federico Fellini’s classic ‘La Dolce Vita’ with Christopher Nolan’s ‘Inception’ close behind in second place. (full selection on our site)

Fandango Groovers & Bitchin Film Reviews are battling it out for the highest follower participation at the moment and are off to a good start to win the Samsung BD-C5500 Blu-ray Player.

But “it ain’t over until the fat lady sings” and you still have plenty of time to participate!

So, if you would also like to receive your free DVD and a chance to win the Blu-ray Player by simply writing about the survey, visit our page for all the info you need: The Movie Blogger Survey.

We hope to hear from you very soon.

“Viva le Cinema!”

Hey there,

So my film was accepted as part of The Filmpool Film Festival in Saskatchewan, Canada in honor of Jean-Luc Godard’s 80th birthday on December 3rd and of course we’re excited! Maybe there are some LAMb folks out there in Canada who might actually be able to attend and see it!

The link to my blog with the info about the festival, film, etc is below.

Let me know if you need more info. Thanks!!

Over the next few months on the Where Danger Lives blog, I¹ll be counting
down the 100 greatest posters of film noir. The posters are being considered
on the basis of their artistic merit, concept, memorability, and so forth
‹ not on the quality of the films they represent. For example, the poster
for Double Indemnity, possibly the most iconic and well-known film noir,
didn’t make the list. Stop by the blog each week and see what did. Each
poster comes with a brief explanation about why it was included, along with
a hi-res image for download. This is a brand new feature at WDL, and
hopefully one that will be of interest to a broader audience. In the “real
world” I’m a college graphic design professor and a long-time professional
designer, so this feature gives me a chance to mix work and play in an
interesting, and hopefully fun / educational way. The countdown begins on
Black (<–Noir!) Friday, but there’s a post up now featuring ten posters
that didn’t make the list ‹ and why.

This is the most ambitious project I have attempted since I began Phil on Film and I’d appreciate the support of the LAMB. If you know of anyone else who’d like to get involved, please feel free to send my details on to them.

Thanks,
Phil
