Entertainment Link-Off: Diverging Paths

nathalie emmanuelIt’s Easter weekend! While some will partake in religious activities, others will simply overindulge in the abundance of chocolate available. Alternatively, you can head out to the theatres to check out Furious 7. Yes, it’s the seventh installment of the franchise and surprisingly it hasn’t gone dull at all. The action is over-the-top but it is entertaining. Also, without spoiling anything, I have to say it is a very fitting and respectful way to send off the late Paul Walker. Anyway, let’s kick off the latest Entertainment Link-Off with a newbie to the Fast/Furious franchise, Game of Thrones star Nathalie Emmanuel.

After the jump, a tease of the new Wong Fu Productions movie, the Arrow becomes Casey Jones, Helen Mirren can drive fast cars, listen to the cast of The Flash sing the Firefly theme song, and Deadpool is definitely rated R.  Continue reading

Entertainment Link-Off: Rise from the Dead

christian serratosSo this weekend marks the season finale of The Walking Dead! Millions of followers will be catching the show to see which character is next to bite the dust. Anyway, let’s kick off the ELO with Christian Serratos. Yes, it is refreshing to see her all glammed up because we’re so used to seeing her kick zombie-ass on TWD. 

After the jump, first look at Deadpool doing a sexy pose, Transformers universe is building, an interesting alternate end to Red State, the time is meow, James Bond has a dark history and watch Tom Hanks re-enact his movies in seven minutes. Continue reading

The Homes of Middle-Earth (Infographic)

Am I on too much of an infographic kick right now? Maybe yes. Maybe no. But maybe I stumbled upon an even better one than last week’s. While our old friends at Movoto didn’t put together this look at the homes of Middle-Earth, it’s a fairly comprehensive look at many of the homes, cities and lands that you’ll see in Lord of the Rings. You might even be able to figure out where in Isengard that the Hobbits were taken.

Entertainment Link-Off: Who’s Next?

suki waterhouse gqSo the highly anticipated sequel to Divergent is finally out this weekend. Though it is apparently visually stunning, it looks like Insurgent is a rather dull entry to the apocalyptic YA franchise. Anyway, you can catch the newly single Suki Waterhouse in a small role in this film.

After the jump, a much simpler ending to Interstellar, watch the opening and closing scenes to films side by side, the people want Clarkson back on Top Gear, some awesome DLC characters added to Mortal Kombat X and catch a glimpse of a showdown between The Rock and Jason Statham. Continue reading

Apparently the corset was so tight during filming, she had to stick to a liquid diet. Ouch!

After the jump, HBO doesn’t want Game of Thrones to end, Liam Neeson is planning to quit action films, Top Gear may have come to an abrupt end, first look at Mortal Kombat X story mode, and catch the season finale of the webseries David. Continue reading

The World’s Richest Superheroes (Infographic)

For as many great superheroes there are with fantastic powers like your Superman, Wonder Woman, Thor, The Hulk and so on, there are many more superheroes that aren’t endowed with superpowers to save the Earth. While heroes like Batman and Iron Man might dominate on the silver screen, they don’t have their own superpowers. Both superheroes and supervillains have used their money to become among the most powerful people in the world.

Entertainment Link-Off: Live Long and Prosper

jessica-chastain-oscars15-01Don’t change the channel but it’s Steve in for Jackie with this week’s edition of the entertainment links. I’m not sure that this was a week that I really wanted to take over. Well, when Jackie get in touch on Wednesday, it wasn’t a problem. But I don’t think anyone was expecting all of the Oscar talk to suddenly be made completely irrelevant with the death of the legendary Leonard Nimoy. I thought this weekend’s links would be Oscars and that damn dress and then some news just smacks you upside the head out of nowhere.

But regardless of what sad news there was this week, there’s still a set of links to do. Since the Oscars were last weekend, let’s start with a photo from there. Here’s Jessica Chastain.

After the jump, a Leonard Nimoy obituary, some Oscars fallout, that damn dress and the unreality of reality TV.
