After a long wait, The Peanuts Movie is finally out! It’s also collecting fairly positive reviews, so it might be worth taking a trip down memory lane and channel your inner kid again. The other hotly anticipated release Spectre is garnering mixed results. Perhaps Skyfall just set the bar a little too high for the James Bond franchise. Anyway, let’s start off the ELO with Daisy Ridley, star of the upcoming Star Wars flick. She looks quite elegant in the latest shoot for The Hollywood Reporter. I can definitely see why the new trilogy would focus on her.

After the jump, China gets first dibs on Point Break, the Aaron Sorkin/Pixar flick that wasn’t meant to be, first look at the Harry Potter prequel/spin-off, some new trailers to check out including Warcraft, and check out a ‘deleted’ scene from Spectre. Continue reading →

It’s Halloween! Go out and put on your favourite costume and go Trick or Treatin’! Anyway, it is also a Saturday, so it’s time for another edition of the ELO! Fittingly enough, in cinemas this weekend is a b-horror flick to check out called Scout’s Guide to the Zombie Apocalypse. Reviews have been less than flattering but it does have Halston Sage in it! Good excuse to go see it.

After the jump, Star Wars is not yet approved in China, Guillermo del Toro is not giving up on Pacific Rim 2, human characters will always be interfering with future Transformers flicks, the emotions from Inside Out react to Star Wars and allow Stephen Colbert to predict what will happen in the galaxy far far away.

I apologize. This week’s link off is a bit late. I just got back from vacation and sleep became my number 1 priority. I shall look into the issue of having the keyboard imprinted on my forehead in a minute. Anyway, The Last Witch Hunter is out and Vin Diesel is keen to launch another franchise. I wasn’t particularly compelled to see it until I saw Rose Leslie in it. Maybe she does have powers…

After the jump, Daniel Craig does not think highly of James Bond, no more high heels in Jurassic World sequel, Harry Potter is getting an eighth installment and Angels in the Outfield get a 30 for 30 treatment.  Continue reading →

So NASA’s big announcement didn’t quite live up to the hype or expectations of most people but that won’t stop us from checking out The Martian. Sometimes a good sci-fi flick is all we need. Anyway, since it is autumn, most shows are coming back to the TV screens now. Plenty of things to check out at home and be a couch potato for a little while. I wasn’t sure who should start off the ELO, but then Jenna Louise Coleman popped up, so why not. Sadly she’ll be leaving after the current season of Dr. Who. 

After the jump, the Terminator may have been terminated, studios and directors don’t seem to get along, a look at the influence of John Oliver, Matt Damon’s movie career summed up in 8 minutes, Spider-Gwen, and action figures assemble! Continue reading →

In theatres this weekend, you can catch The Intern, featuring Robert De Niro and Anne Hathaway. So far this looks like it could be a nice little charmer at the cinemas. So let’s kick off the ELO with the film’s leading lady as she looks mighty fine at the premiere recently.

After the jump, Hugh Jackman has someone in mind to take over the Wolverine role, Ridley Scott talks Prometheus, Fast and Furious stalled in pre-production, watch cats fight zombies, Pixar learns of many different ways to make you cry in their SadLab and Jeremy Lin shows you how to fit in the NBA.  Continue reading →

The Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials is in cinemas this weekend (at least in Australia anyway). The sequel is holding steady on the Tomatometer as we speak, so hopefully it’ll like up to the quality of the first flick. Let’s kick off the ELO with one of the stars from the flick Kaya Scoledario.

After the jump, a tease on Transformers 5, some smart movie marketing, Kong will face off against Godzilla, we’ve all been pronouncing Voldemort wrong and M. Night Shyamalan made one of the best comedies of 2008. Continue reading →

It’s reaching the tail end of summer, so you can definitely expect a slow down at the box office. The new release is the Zac Efron fronted coming-of-age story in We Are Your Friends. Reviews have been mixed, so proceed with caution. Perhaps it would be a safer bet to see something like… The Man From U.N.C.L.E. instead. Alicia Vikander seems to be the it girl lately with plenty of films along the pipeline in the coming year. 

After the jump, a look at the two sides of Captain America: Civil War, Quentin Tarantino took apart It Follows, it’s been 15 years since Bring It On, Key and Peele explain how Gremlins 2 came about and movie villains love My So-Called Life! Continue reading →
