The Power Gap
Not content with adorning my walls with their posters, wearing their t-shirts and planning my weeks ahead on their calendars, I’m now going to share my Airside addiction with anyone whose willing to listen (or watch).
Four Lions
To say I’m excited about UK japester Chris Morris’ foray in to features with Jihadist Comedy Four Lions would be the understatement of the decade (yes I realise we’re only 22 days into this one, but you know what I mean!). This is after all the man who had Clare Rayner beating off a room [...]

Stare into the Sun
Along with film, one of my great passions in life is graphic design and illustration (not that I can actually do any of these) and when I’m not trawling the film sites, I’m usually checking out Creative Review, Airside or The Strange Attractor. Over the years, I’ve stumbled across many fantastic designers, but one of [...]
Back to Back to the Future
Due to the moody winter weather, Film Friends Forever had to put their Back to the Future event on ice (see what I did there!). However, no need to despair as the event will now take place on Wednesday 3rd of February instead. Details after the jump.
