We’re a seasonal group here at Go, See, Talk!– one only need go back a month to our Halloween tournament for proof!– and so in the spirit of Turkey Day and giving thanks, we all got together and hand-picked one director, movie, and actor or actress apiece who we’re thankful for. If you know us well enough, then some of these picks should seem right in line with our proclivities and tastes. Then again, maybe we’ll surprise you anyhow.

G-S-T Review…Side By Side
For over 100 years photo chemical film has been the gold standard in the film industry. But in the last two decades the advent and advances in digital technology have offered filmmakers a cheaper, easier and sometimes better alternative as a means to capture images and tell stories. In Side by Side, Keanu Reeves and writer/director Chris Kenneally put their finger on the pulse film world and explore the levels to which digital capture technology has created a paradigm shift across the world. From directors, to colorists, to editors etc, no trade is unaffected by this change in the medium. Is this the end of film? Well, it’s not a clear cut answer…

Christopher Nolan Bids Batman Farwell In Fond Send-Off
With the last leg of Christopher Nolan‘s Batman trilogy is now in theaters (and raking in record-breaking box office numbers if you weren’t aware) we’ve, sadly yet quite satisfyingly, reached the end of this particular Batman’s journey. As part of Nolan’s contribution to a forthcoming book titled The Art And Making Of The Dark Knight Rises, Christopher Nolan penned this foreword which, to comic/film fans the world over, is a reverent, classy and almost tear inducing send off to his massively successful addition to the Batman universe. Have a look and let us know if you need a shoulder to weep on… “Alfred. Gordon. Lucius. Bruce . . . Wayne.…

Sweet Teaser Trailers…Zack Snyder's 'Man of Steel'
With The Dark Knight Rises now in theaters, Warner Bros. and DC Comics have reached the end of Christopher Nolan’s fantastic and hugely successful Batman trilogy. As is the norm these days, just because the credits roll it doesn’t mean the story is over. Case in point. Depending on what theater you were in when you saw the epic finale to Nolan’s Gotham City based story arc, you were party to one of two teaser trailers for the studios’ next highly anticipated release. Next year we will see the reboot of the big blue boy scout but in this re-imagining, like Nolan’s Batman actually, we’re going to get a version…

G-S-T Review…The Dark Knight Rises
A third film seems to be the biggest pitfall in nearly every trilogy. Some see it as a challenge, and that’s likely what propelled director Christopher Nolan to return to the helm of the franchise he rebooted in 2005 with Batman Begins and hit out of the park in 2008 with The Dark Knight. Nolan has been trending steadily upward and seemed to be making strides to not only top his second Batman film, but also send him off with the knowledge that he created one of the greatest trilogies of the modern age and avoided the common trappings of the blockbuster films in the post-Avatar 3D era. Perhaps that was simply too much…

Ohhh, Look…Watch An IMAX Theater Prep for ‘The Dark Knight Rises’
Sometimes we humble film fans never really know what goes into putting a film we love on the big screen. No I’m not talking about the studio/director making the movie, I’m talking about the thankless people working behind the scenes in a theater so we can enjoy uninterrupted cinema. With all the advancements and paradigm shifts in film, IMAX has moved from its documentary pics to being utilized in big budget blockbusters and there’s no going back now. The following video gives us an idea of how the 70mm IMAX projection system works…and as you’ll see in the video, 70mm is BIG! For you videophiles, this may be old news but…
