Ferris 2? Anyone? Anyone? ...

February 9 2012

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:...

They say that the eyes can tell you a lot about a person. Well, this fantastic print from designer Yoni Alter on Society6 proves that they can also tell you a lot about cartoon characters.  And you just thought that drawing cartoon eyes was as simple as drawing two circles with two black dots?  Can you name them all?  Kermit the Frog and Daffy...

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...

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....

Well, it seems like The Great Muppet Revival of 2011 is in full swing.  Last week they released their latest trailer for their new movie, The Muppets, which personally I can't wait for (seriously, who doesn't love the Muppets?).  Check it out below.  This one has actual plot details and too many celebrity...

Charlie who? Ashton Kutcher wins over the Aussies

September 22 2011

With a massive premiere audience of 2.31 million viewers in Australia, Ashton Kutcher has well and truly put Two and a Half Men back on top. The Season 9 premiere began at the funeral of Charlie Sheen’s character, Charlie Harper, after an unfortunate encounter with a train in Paris that saw him “explode like a balloon full of meat”. Definitely the funniest and least...

When I first visited New York City in 1996 I had this niggling feeling that I'd been there before.   It didn't take me long to realise, I had been.  We all have.  Via TV and film.  New York is one big film set and I'd been visiting it every day from the comfort of my loungeroom ever since my parents sat me down in front of Sesame Street when I...

Charlie Sheen took to the stage to present the award for outstanding lead actor in a comedy series, however he could not do so without hogging the limelight just a little bit longer. After bidding everyone a “Good evening”, an almost gentleman-like Sheen declared “'I want to take a moment to get something off my chest and say a few words to everybody at Two and a Half...
