Entertainment Link-Off: Gonna Get Over You

It’s Entertainment Link-Off time since it’s Saturday night! Kicking off this entry is Lily Collins who is starring in the Taylor Lautner actioner Abduction. Sadly the film is critically panned, so perhaps something on the other end of the spectrum is worth seeing… like Moneyball for example!

After the jump, some Elmo related news, Batman likes to beat clowns, Conan O’Brien has a guy moment, an awesome office escape video and two song recommendations to make up for my missing music segment from the upcoming podcast! Continue reading

Entertainment Link-Off: Get In. Get Out. Get Away!

Another Saturday, another edition of the Entertainment Link-Off. Kicking off this entry is the younger sister of the Olsen twins Elizabeth Olsen who just happens to be making rounds at the film fests including the recent Toronto International Film Festival.

After the jump, a few trailers to check out, Superman joins Facebook, Source Code the TV series, Steven Spielberg is a step ahead of George Lucas and a look at how Captain America should have ended. Continue reading

Entertainment Link-Off: So Contageous!

I’m back this week to write up the Entertainment Link-Off. I’m sure Steve is quite happy about not having to cover for me. Anyway, I missed the opportunity to plug Shark Night 3D last week, but given that it’s garnering negative reviews anyway, it’s probably a good thing that I didn’t. Anyway, in theatres this week is the MMA themed Warrior and there’s also the disease thriller Contagion, which happens to have Marion Cotillard in the cast.

After the jump, virus do crazy things to people in movies, X-Men continuity is messed up, the 5 stages of Star Wars revision grief, movies and video games are slowly dying and a few nifty ads to check out. Continue reading

Entertainment Link Off: Look Into My Eyes

It’s Saturday, so that means it’s time for another hit of the Entertainment Link-Off. It’s the dog days of summer at the movies and it doesn’t look like new releases would be making that big of a splash at the box office this weekend. Kicking off this entry is Rachel Nichols from her latest shoot with Maxim. Sadly despite her good looks, it hardly drew anyone to see the remake of Conan the Barbarian.

After the jump, FOX made a few mistakes, horrible movie alternate endings, Joseph Gordon-Levitt rocks out to Nirvana, a neat short based on the popular video game Portal and a new music video from singer/songwriter Marie Digby. Continue reading

Entertainment Link-Off: Trust Thy Neighbour?

The weekend is here, so it’s time for another edition of the Entertainment Likn-Off. Kicking things off is British actress Imogen Poots. She can be seen in the latest flick, Fright Night, as the main character’s love interest.

After the jump, a look at remake rules, a debate on whether spectacle is more important than story in film, superhero themed sex positions, quirky girls exposed and finally a cool acoustic cover of a dance track. Continue reading

Entertainment Link-Off: All Fired Up

This weekend at the box office, it’s horror flick Final Desination 5 facing off against action/comedy 30 Minutes or Less. Neither film is likely to beat out those apes for the first place spot though. Anyway, leading this off is one of the cast members of Final Desination 5, Emma Bell.

After the jump, a few trailers to start things off, reading spoilers will make you appreciation things more, movie cliches illustrated, Conan O’Brien challenges Jesse Eisenberg to see who’s more self-depreciating and some music friendly videos to wrap things up. Continue reading

Wednesday Link-Off: Up in the Air

It’s Jackie here taking over for Steve as he’s exploring life in the big city this week. I’m not as media savvy as Steve, but hopefully there’s enough bizarre stories here to keep you preoccupied for the day. In celebration of the summer finale of White Collar that just aired last night, here’s Hilarie Burton to kick off the link-off.

After the jump, having sex on the job is probably a bad idea, a marathon can’t get in the way between a man and his alcohol, a tour of the house from Disney/Pixar’s Up and apparently there’s a guideline to accurately depict aliens in film. Continue reading

Entertainment Link-Off: Go Ape!

So there was a lot of doubt with regards to Rise of the Planet of the Apes, but given the certified fresh status on Rotten Tomatoes right now, it might just be better than what the trailers were revealing. Kicking off this ELO is one of the stars of the film Freida Pinto.

After the jump, a small explanation of keep you up on Planet of the Apes, Harrison Ford takes on Papa Smurf, find out what the rest of the world thinks of Captain America, Final Destination 5 meets Saved by the Bell and a tribute to Harry Potter in song. Continue reading

Entertainment Link-Off: Sci-Fi Showdown

Normally I would kick off the Entertainment Link-Off with something related to a big release this weekend, but I’ll go a different route today. Kicking off the ELO is Jessica Nigri. Her outfit as Eloa from Knightingale was definitely one of the highlights of this year’s Comic-Con.

After the jump, some stuff on Cowboys and Aliens, the Battleship teaser is here, tidbits on NBC’s Community, a look at The Avengers, Harrison Ford got some beef with Chewbacca and an epic Star Wars gang fight. Continue reading

Entertainment Link-Off: SDCC 2011 Edition

Comic-Con is happening this weekend. The reports from panels and other events at SDCC 2011 will continue to roll in, so expect updated links as we go along this weekend. Kicking things off is Mila Kunis from the Friends with Benefits premiere. Of course, if you prefer comic book flicks, Captain America: The First Avenger is in theatres this week as well. To the folks in Aussieland, it comes out next Thursday.

After the jump, some collectibles to be on the lookout for, copycat film showdown, Spidey-news, Chuck’s final run on network TV, The Dark Knight Rises trailer… animated style and a new downloadable Mortal Kombat character revealed. Continue reading
