With Fiona having seen this week’s blockbuster release of The Rise of the Planet of the Apes last week our remote viewers attention was turned towards the Norwegian ‘found footage’ horror flick, Troll Hunter (Which is being screened as part of the Melbourne International Film Festival – aka MIFF). Fiona also rented the Anthony Hopkins [...]
This week Remote Viewing achieves the huge milestone that is the fifth episode. Yup, that’s half way to making it to double figures! It’s also our first episode since going weekly and the team have all hit the cinemas and taken in a couple of the latest releases, including Battle: Los Angeles and Limitless. For [...]
Episode 2 is here just to spite all those people who said it’d never last! Fiona talks about 127 hours, lets fly with her opinion of Sanctum and Elroy’s been watching some utter garbage. To celebrate Valentines day the team talk about their favourite Romantic movies — with a little help from some twitter friends [...]
Warner Bros President Jeff Robinov has just now realised that maybe, just maybe, actually knowing something about the IP that his company owns could help avoid killing off the potential gold-mines that are the DC Comics characters. It really isn’t hard to tell that Warner Bros has been pretty clueless when it comes to how [...]
As has been established before here on EOL, I’m a glutton for punishment when it comes to sticking with a television series well beyond the point that it deserves support. Sometimes that persistence pays off. In the case of LOST for example, sure there were some rough times and, yeah, even I started to question [...]

Most recently my focus was on [...]
Some of you may remember a post that I made a few weeks back detailing how you can spot a bad sequel. To save you having to revisit the original post, here’s a short refresher: Generally, if the creative team behind the original film aren’t willing to hang around for a film’s sequel then there’s [...]
There is probably no other film in the pipes at the moment being more speculated upon than the WB’s Justice League movie. In fact there are so many rumours and ‘inside sources’ being thrown about that you just about need to qualify as a member of said super crime-fighting league to be able to fly [...]
As mentioned in the recent Painkiller Jane post, I have a penchant for putting up with TV shows for a lot longer than I (or anyone for that matter) really should. I called it a superpower, but some may say that it’s just an inability to distinguish between something worth watching and utter drivel (lets [...]
While watching Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer the other day it was finally solidified for me why it is that I find that particular team of Superheroes so… well, lame. It’s their powers! With the exception of Johnny Storm (The Human Torch) the others are hardly capable of standing on their own. Now, [...]
