In the era of sequels, prequels, remakes and reboots it's amazing that we haven't seen more of Ferris Bueller over the years. The 1986 hit film was a cultural phenomenon and it is still considered by many as their favourite film of all-time. Sure, there was a half-baked prequel TV series in 1990 starring a pre-Friends Jennifer Aniston and a pre-Diagnosis:...

While we won't find out the winners of the 18th Annual SAG Awards until next Monday, we actually already know one person who will be walking away with a statuette on the night. Television icon Mary Tyler Moore will be presented with the Screen Actors Guild's Life Achievement Award. The Award is given annually to an actor who fosters the “finest ideals of the acting...

Last week I posted clips for every film nominated at this year’s SAG Awards. Now it’s time for the nominated TV shows! Most of the nominees are shows we all know and love (like 30 Rock and The Office, yay!). Others ... not so much. But they must be good if they’ve been nominated! So now I’m pumped to see them! (Suits, pictured...

The girls from the civil rights era drama The Help stole the show last night winning 3 of the 5 film awards up for grabs. With wins for Viola Davis and Octavia Spencer, as well as its ensemble cast, the film is now back in the race for best picture at this year's Oscars. Davis and Spencer also had two of the most inspiring speeches of the night. "I'm...

You read that right people. The Ewings are back. And not via some reunion special or tricky remake, but the actual series with the original characters and original stars picking up the story some 21 years later. Think of it as season 14 (the original series had a run of 13 seasons from 1978 to 1991). “The cameras left 21 years ago”, the producers say....

It's often the case with award shows like the Oscars, the Emmys and the SAG Awards that we haven't been able to see a lot of the films or TV shows nominated. And this year is no different. The SAG Awards include a range of films and TV shows that have yet to be screened in Australia yet. It can be a bit frustrating as a viewer not knowing what film a...

They say it’s an honour to be nominated, but I think it would also be pretty cool to present an award too. Not that the role comes without its risks and responsibilities. First there's the awkward small talk you may have to make with your co-presenter. There are lines to flub, jokes that may fall flat and embarrassing teleprompter breakdowns to contend with....

This year’s Oscar nominees were announced today and everyone is talking about who wasn’t nominated as much as they're talking about who was (if not more so). The big surprise is that Martin Scorsese’s film Hugo leads the field this year with 11 nominations. Most of Hugo’s nominations are in the technical categories like cinematography, which is why Hugo...

I missed seeing "We Need To Talk About Kevin" at the cinemas last year. From all reports Tilda Swinton's performance was extraordinary and she fully deserves her SAG Awards nomination for best actress. However, from the looks of this hilarious new "trailer", Macauley Culkin should have been up for a nod as well. He does evil child well. A little...
