Now this is getting good! First there was the coy reveal that there was a new The Muppets on the horizon in the trailer for what looked like a dreadful rom-com. Next they took to parodying The Hangover II with their trailer for The Fuzzy Pack. Now it looks like no one is safe from parody and the (marketing) gang is at again it piggy backing the other Green movie this year Green Lantern. Leave it to Henson’s The Muppets to have a laugh at everyone with the added bonus of never offending a single person (yeah I’m looking at you South Park). So this is another trailer expostiory void trailer but…

To All You 'Gladiator' Blu Ray Owners…
Hello World Marc Here: While I’m not much on A/V tech news this is movie related (and regarding one of my all time favorite films) so it behooves me to tell you all as no doubt it affects some of you cinephiles out there. Anyone who rushed out in 2009 and snatched up Paramount’s Sapphire Series Blu Ray edition of Gladiator may not have been at all happy with the transfer. Not only did the edge enhancement and digital video noise reduction create a sub-par transfer, the disc itself features tons of technical glitches. Bad day for those first in line huh? So while Paramount finally released a fixed copy…

Zack Snyder's 'Man of Steel' Adds Russell Crowe As Jor-El
Crikey!! While the Supes front has been quiet since the last A-list addition, out of left field comes the casting news of the millennium!! OK maybe not that great but certainly an eye opener for sure. And why not?? Russel Crowe, if you’ll excuse my French, is the effen man!! Variety has just released info that puts General Maximus in the role of Jor-El, Superman’s biological father. Variety does say he’s “in negotiations” but so far all signs point to it being locked up. So while the film world is still trying to get the taste of the poorly received Sucker Punch out of its mouth, this casting tidbit is one entirely…

First Look At 'NEVERLAND'; Latest Feature From Sky Movies
“Think happy thoughts“. Calling all you J.M. Barrie fans! While there always seems to be some newly imagined Peter Pan film every couple of years, this interesting iteration has surfaced. Origin stories aren’t new by any means but Sky Movies has been working on one such ride that sounds delightful…I just wish I lived in the UK to see it. Last week Sky Movies launched their microsite for Neverland (skymovies.com/neverland) which featured the film’s official trailer, behind the scenes footage and a selection of new images from the movie. This Peter Pan prequel promises to reveal where the story we all know and love began, exploring the history of the…

Sweet Trailer…’Salvation Boulevard’
Yesterday we featured the indie flick Lucky and wouldn’t ya know it, we have a trailer for another DIFF film that got picked up. Neat, only too bad for me that I didn’t know this trailer dropped last month. Adapted from Larry Beinhart’s book of the same name, Salvation Boulevard tells the tale of mega-church preacher Dan Day who accidentally shoots his atheist colleague after one of their rousing debates. While he and Carl (ex-Dead Head and poster boy for the “converted”) think they are the only witnesses, Dan soon receives menacing phone calls from someone threatening to expose him. Dan’s world (and sanity) is turned upside down as he…

Sweet Trailer…'Lucky'
Well this is a nice surprise. The first of the films that played at the 2011 Dallas International Film Festival are now finally making their way to theaters. This hit the web last week and as I’ve been away am now getting caught up. Boy, now I’m looking forward to seeing what others have gotten picked up. Anyway, Lucky is about Ben (Colin Hanks), who after winning the lottery marries his childhood sweetheart Lucy (Ari Graynor). Only, as she’s never been into him, she quickly marries him simply for his money. Right when she starts to actually fall for him Lucy learns that Ben is a closet serial killer. But…

G-S-T Review…Super 8
What is Super 8? Is it a throw-back kid driven adventure story? Is it a coming of age film with endearing characters? Is it an oddly familiar sci-fi story from two master storytellers re-branded for a new generation? Well it’s all of it and more but in short Super 8 is the kind of movie that reaffirms why people go the movies. In this mysterious, fun and fast moving film J.J. Abrams writes a love letter to Steven Spielberg in a way that will delight fans of all genres and age groups. However while I found it tough to stay away from the hype I have to say this didn’t…

Music For Relief Event – Rocking the Red Carpet With Vince Neil
It’s been just about 3 months since the monster 8.9 earthquake/tsunami devastated Japan. Still very conscious of the after effects, Music For Relief has been on the front lines to help raise funds for the earthquake relief efforts. But while theeqrthquake/tsunami rocked the Eastern part of the world, the U.S. rocked right back and who better to help aid the cause than legendary Mötley Crüe frontman Vince Neil? Well last night at the PLUSH lounge in Dallas a little ‘Rocking’ event was put on to help the relief efforts. Co-hosted by Greg Ingram, Drew Pearson, Paul Salfen and Randall Reed the night featured the likes of the bands Phoenix Benjamin, Scott Oldner Band and Brand…

Sweet (Shirtless) Trailer…’Breaking Dawn: Part I’
Anyone watching the MTV Movie Awards (boy I still think that in itself is a major contradiction) this year was again helped to some major Twilight teasing. Like the clip of New Moon that was shown in 2009 and last year’s Eclipse trailer, this first real look at the Twilight Saga’s final chapter (well Part I at least) was unveiled much to the screaming delight of the Twihards. For those of you missed it, have a look. And when a better quality clip becomes available, we’ll repost it. I’m not going to lie, I like Twilight (the first one anyway). Also, I kind of have to as Mrs. GoSeeTalk is a fan.…

G-S-T Review…X-Men: First Class
Going into yet another X-Men film would make even the most die hard fan weary. I mean, after the last two strike outs this seemed like the last at bat for The Uncanny. But dear friends, in this stylized throwback Singer wound up, hurled one over the plate and Vaughn knocked that grapefruit back, waaay back and out of the park. A new and different X-Men for a new generation, First Class, with confident strides, takes the X-Men series out of the ICU. As a fan myself I breathed a sigh of relief and then had to catch it after seeing Matthew Vaughn’s fantastic film.
