This weekend marks the release of 3 new major releases at the theatres. There’s Liam Neeson kicking some wolf ass in The Grey. Sam Worthington wants to jump off the ledge of a building. Oh there’s also a new Katherine Heigl movie. Yeah, we all cringed at the thought of that. Anyway, I was considering to start off the ELO with Yvonne Strahovski since last night was the series finale of Chuck. Then I realized I haven’t featured Mekenna Melvin during the show’s run since she appeared as Casey’s daughter Alex. So let’s kick off this week’s ELO with her!

After the jump, Chuck season 5 blooper reel, Pat Sajak was drunk behind the wheel but wasn’t charged for DUI, Oscars suck, new tidbit on The Hobbit, the return of Ferris Bueller and listen to Joseph Gordon-Levitt cover The Beatles!

Last night marked the series finale of a Lowdown favourite, Chuck. After a five season run, the show definitely ended on a satisfying note. Cheers to the Nerd Herders. Anyway, here’s a fun look at the season 5 blooper reel and some photos from the set. (Small Screen Scoop)

Hot trailer of the week. Guy Pearce channels his inner Kurt Russell in the sci-fi action flick Lockout. For eye candy purposes, the movie also stars Maggie Grace. (IGN)

Given that the two Hangover films are huge money makers, it’s not entirely surprising to see the three main guys banding together to request for a hefty pay raise before starting up a third Hangover flick. Let’s just say the new amount they’re asking for is about 15 times more than what they made in the first film… (The Hollywood Reporter)

Don’t expect Peter Jackson’s adaptation of The Hobbit to be the same as the novel page by page. In fact, the character that Evangeline Lilly plays doesn’t even appear in the book!

Four years have passed since the release of Hot Fuzz and now it appears that Edgar Wright and Simon Pegg are back together and working hard on the “blood and ice cream” trilogy and kick starting the third film called The World’s End.

So the Oscar nominations were announced fairly recently and to be honest, I wasn’t particularly interested with what they came up with this year.

(Next Movie)

Based on the Oscar noms, we can also come to another conclusion. The Academy hates sex. (Film School Rejects)

Liam Neeson sure is taking on a lot of action roles lately. You can see him punching wolves in the latest flick The Grey. So the question is, who should he be punching next? Let’s speculate. (NPR)

Commercial teasers seem to be the rage these days in anticipation of the Superbowl. First we got “The Bark Side”, now it looks like Matthew Broderick is returning as Ferris Bueller… except the ad is meant to sell some Hondas.

Sometimes it comes in handy to have Jedi powers… especially on a lazy day.

Harry Potter fans. Give this butter beer recipe a try?

I love it everytime Joseph Gordon-Levitt breaks out the guitar and performs a cover. This time, he tackles Hey Jude.
