Marry, Shag or Cliff? Sean Bean edition

Marry, Shag or Cliff? Sean Bean edition

By Guest Hoyden on February 20, 2013

Remember the rules? It’s been a while: you must choose one of each of the three candidates to match each fate. No skipping any.

Or you could just talk about your favourite entertainments, since this is just a hook to hang some pop culture on. How about this awards season, eh?

Coraline

Friday Hoydens: Chihiro, Ofelia and Coraline

By Orlando on February 15, 2013

Last night my family sat down together to watch Coraline, and I found myself instinctively grouping it with two other films centred on little girls navigating dark and strange fantasy lands, Hayao Miyazaki’s Spirited Away and Guillermo Del Toro’s Pan’s Labyrinth.

Film review: Silver Linings Playbook

Film review: Silver Linings Playbook

By tigtog on February 14, 2013

Rating: 4.5 out of 5 starsThis is a feast of a film, a comedy-drama-romance of families, friendships and forgiveness which sparkles with subtly dazzling restraint, studded with troubling emotions and snort-out-loud humour.

Soft targets

Soft targets

By tigtog on August 18, 2012

While I’m anticipating the new version of Total Recall with Colin Farrell with a certain degree of relish, I can’t help but note that so far as late-80s Arnie dystopic movie remakes go, TR aims at much softer (because interplanetary farther-future etc) targets than The Running Man ever did.
