Apparently it’s style over substance in the latest adaptation of The Great Gatsby starring Leonardo DiCaprio. That’s rather unfortunate to hear but if you’ve always been a fan of Baz Luhrmann’s style, it might be worth the admission ticket. Otherwise there’s not much out there as alternative programming… unless you’re in Australia because Star Trek into Darkness is out! Anyway, kicking off this Entertainment Link-Off is Jordana Brewster and Michelle Rodriguez from the world premiere for Fast and Furious 6.

After the jump, analyzing the difference between The Great Gatsby film with the original novel, check out movie posters with their original working titles, The World’s End trailer premieres, Community returns and watch old Spock take on the new Spock in The Challenge. Continue reading →

Well there is little competition in theatres this weekend as Iron Man 3 is finally released in North America. To kick off the Entertainment Link-Off this week, I am not going to start off with Gwyneth Paltrow, who just happened to be named “most beautiful” by People’s magazine. Instead, I’ll go with the other leading lady Rebecca Hall. 

After the jump, Damon Lindelof talks about the struggles of World War Z, threequels galore, special Iron Man 3 China edition isn’t so special after all, the world’s smallest movie premieres, watch a disturbing sci-fi short film, a few new movie trailers to check out and JJ Abrams chats with Simon Pegg about Star Wars. Continue reading →

It’s testosterone galore at the theatres this weekend with Michael Bay’s Pain and Gain hitting the screens. Meanwhile over in Australia, you get to check out Iron Man 3 instead! Not a bad weekend at all. Anyway, don’t really know who to start off this week’s ELO with, so here’s one of Michael Bay’s former favourite, Megan Fox.

After the jump, the future of Iron Man is up in the air, first look at Thor: The Dark World, Kickstarter has another big project, an interesting America’s Got Talent audition gone wrong and watch Patton Oswalt channel his inner Penguin. Continue reading →

Nothing too noteworthy out this weekend, so I’m not too sure what to lead off with. Well, the folks here in Aussieland finally get a look at Sly’s latest Bullet to the Head, so let’s start off with Sarah Shahi, who plays his daughter in the flick.

After the jump, Michael Bay and Guillermo del Toro not getting along, Transformers is looking for more Chinese actors, some Pitch Perfect stuff, Patton Oswalt shares his vision of Star Wars, the cast of This is the End celebrates 4/20 with you, Harrison Ford still won’t answer your Star Wars questions and a taste of K-pop that has nothing to do with Psy. Continue reading →

While we get first dibs at Oblivion here in Australia, that doesn’t hit theatres in North America til next week! Take that! Anyway, in theatres this week, there’s the Jackie Robinson biopic 42 and there’s Scary Movie 5. If you were to choose between the two, go with the former since the latter looks horrendous, but at least it got some good eye candy courtesy of Ashley Tisdale.

After the jump, there might be a sequel to Dredd 3D after all, some Man of Steel news, Matt Damon goes on an epic sci-fi adventure, Edgar Wright did some extra directing work and a look at the opening cinematic for Injustice: Gods Among Us. Continue reading →

Not much competition in theatres this weekend. First you get the 3D re-release of Jurassic Park. Then there’s the remake of Evil Dead. Horror fans should be delighted now that they upped the ante on the gore and violence compared to the Sam Raimi original. Anyway, not sure who to kick off the latest ELO with, so here’s Emma Watson from her latest GQ spread. 

After the jump, a look at Roger Ebert’s legacy, a man picked apart a movie trailer just to get his movie ticket money back, watch Weird Al get axed, Jack the Giant Killer lost a lot of money, an update on the Veronica Mars movie and watch Seth Rogen and friends tackle the end of the world. Continue reading →

There won’t be much to do over the weekend since it’s the Easter holidays. If you’re not too religious, go out and check out some movies including GI Joe: Retaliation. No it’s not about finding out whether they kill off Channing Tatum or not, it’s about checking out Adrianne Palicki as Lady Jaye.

After the jump, two versions of Iron Man 3 will be released, some stuff on World War Z, a few movie trailers to check out, a UFC champ is taking his acting chops to the big screen and watch Wong Fu’s latest tackle on relationships… more specifically past relationships. Continue reading →

Sorry about the delay on last week’s Entertainment Link-Off. Somehow pressing the ‘publish’ button doesn’t necessarily translate to actually publishing the post onto The Lowdown page. Technology is rather puzzling sometimes. Anyway, it’s Saturday, so it’s time for the ELO again. Let’s start this all off with Gillian Jacobs. You can catch her in The Incredible Burt Wonderstone this weekend, but to get your weekly fix, just watch Community on NBC every Friday. Word has it, the latest episode saw quite a dip in the ratings.

After the jump, Veronica Mars is back, other shows are looking to return via viewer funding, new look at Kick Ass 2 and Dora the Explorer live action joke trailer is actually turning into a real online miniseries.  Continue reading →

In theatres this weekend, Oz: The Great and Powerful is released uncontested so it should easily top the box office weekend. The movie may or may not appeal to you, but the three leading ladies should be enough eye candy to convince you to see it in theatres anyway. Let’s kick off the ELO with Rachel Weisz, Michelle Williams and Mila Kunis!

After the jump, Sam Raimi finally saw the Spider-Man reboot, Sophia Vergara got some chest cannons, a few movie trailers to check out, the cast of Supernatural attempt the Harlem Shake, a possible Pitch Perfect reunion and find out what happens if you let your food go past its expiry date.
