    G-S-T Review…The Bourne Legacy

    We’re at a point in franchising history where three films will no longer do. Series from Die Hard to Indiana Jones have been expanded beyond their trilogy borders to include a fourth entry; meanwhile, the future third film in the Hunger Games saga is already being split into two parts. Traditionally, conventional wisdom marks the third film in a trilogy as the lesser installment of the series, but as three-parters get expanded to four, so too is that adage stretched out– and if The Bourne Legacy has anything to add to the discussion, then the fourth film is the new third. Call it tepid, call it slack, call it pointless;…

    Next 'Bourne' Film Might Offer A Renner/Damon Team-Up

    While we’re not big on rumors, especially since the 4th Bourne film isn’t even out yet, this possibility seemed too good not to bring to the table. Empire recently featured a post to give a little behind the scenes info on the future of The Bourne franchise. In short, it sounds quite awesome as  writer/director Tony Gilroy has things mapped out pretty thoroughly, also we like the Shakespearean approach he takes to explaining his thought process… “If you think of the first three Bourne films as Rosencrantz and Guildenstern, then we’re showing you Elsinore. You thought you were seeing something you weren’t. What if there’s a much larger story? What if Treadstone wasn’t the…

    Sweet Trailer…'The Bourne Legacy'

    Hot off the press comes this ‘sneak peek’ featuring Jeremy Renner (The Hurt Locker, The Avengers, M:I 4) taking over the series for Matt Damon. As we’ve seen in the last teaser the spy world is so much larger than we ever imagined. Case in point: the great tagline “there was never just one” is incredibly deep and impacting to say the least. So feast your eyes on this trailer for The Bourne Legacy, which does a great job of showing how this film fits into Damon’s Bourne universe with a side/parallel story from writer/director Tony Gilroy…enjoy! In addition to Renner taking the reins we’ll see the supporting cast of Albert Finney, Joan Allen and Scott Glen return…

    G-S-T Review…The Avengers

    After leaving The Avengers, the first thought likely to come to mind is wow, wow and more WOW. That’s right comic friends, Joss Whedon isn’t joking around with this one. He delivers the comic book experience fans have been anticipating since Stan Lee co-created these iconic heroes decades ago. In what is the most ambitious and large scale comic film to date, there is no shortage of spectacle, excitement and near-epic story all rolled into one 142 minute feature. Whedon is known for being a fan boy at heart and as such delivers this film with such respect to not only the comics but also, and maybe more importantly, the fans. Nothing…

    Sweet (Teaser) Trailer…'The Bourne Legacy'

    The spy world is bigger than we ever imaged and to show it is this teaser for the Tony Gilroy written & directed parallel to the Doug Liman/Paul Greengrass films. Even the tag line “There was never just one” is smart and speaks volumes. Cemented as a bad-ass in The Hurt Locker and hot off the success of the latest Mission Impossible, Jeremy Renner looks to become the next big action hero. This film will be the start of a whole new series following a Jason Bourne-like agent. But since it’s as much about the agency as it is the agent, there’s plenty of nods to the Damon films as well as familiar faces with…

    Sweet Trailer…'The Avengers' Super Bowl TV Spot

    The Avengers has been a long time coming with 6, count em, 6 films (4 origin stories, 1 sequel and 1 reboot) leading up to Joss Whedon’s highly  anticipated ensemble action flick. Captain America, Thor, Black Widow, Hawkeye, Iron Man and Hulk are all that stands between Loki and the certain annihilation of Earth. Sure he’s got an army but we have…well, you’ll see! Have a look at the full Super Bowl TV Spot for The Avengers… Admittedly this is little more than what we’ve seen in the teaser. I mean we still don’t even know who The Avengers are fighting. But is that a problem? If you ask me, I say not one bit. Sure is…

    G-S-T Review…Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol

    For those of you seeking an over-caffeinated, adrenaline fueled, heart stopping, action movie…look no further. Videophiles looking for amazing camera work, breathtaking views and enough CG to make Lucas happy; you are in for a real treat as well. For audiophiles, seeing the film in 7.1 surround or at an IMAX theater is a must. The audio breathes its own life into the film making it leap off of the screen, through the speakers and into your skull. The next thing you know, you are sitting there on sensory overload and then it happens. You hear the Mission Impossible theme song, your eyes widen, your pulse quickens and you realize…

    Sweet (Teaser) Trailer…'The Avengers'

    Oh boy comic fans, today is a very special day. The teaser for Joss Whedon’s The Avengers just hit the web and it’s got fan boys (and girls) excited for what is probably the largest superhero movie ever created. Assembling the members one by one in semi-interweaving origin stories Marvel (and now Disney) has taken one helluva chance on the success of this ensemble film. I have a feeling that it’ll be awesome but you probably don’t need me to tell you that right? So until we get a full trailer, another and the endless TV spots, have a look at what Whedon will be bringing us next May. Man, I know…

    G-S-T Review…The Town

    A let down to say the least, The Town was full of stereotypes, an unlikely and forced-fed love story and finally a pretty slow “I don’t care how we get there just get there” pace. I may be selling this short and not recognizing the film’s so-called brilliance, but this just wasn’t a story worth telling. Maybe it was me but the trailer gave the feeling that this would be a high-octane bank robbing film (don’t trailers always do that?). But seriously, for a film about bank robbers who were the very best, there was surprisingly little robbery and even less proof that these guys were pros. PLOT: If you start…
