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.

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...

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....

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...
