Ben Snow is one of the ILM Visual Effects Supervisors and with an outstanding resume (you should just check out his IMDb page or see his bio at the bottom of this post), his latest work on Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides gave life and depth to the beautiful but deadly mermaids. Go, See, Talk and other movie sites were invited to participate in an exclusive (and very lengthy) round table discussion. Ben had lots to offer about his passion, his profession and personal tastes in his creative process. Have a look at what he had to say…(sorry no audio but G-S-T’s questions are in Orange)

Interview…’The Lion King’ Star Moira Kelly
For those of you who grew up loving and living Disney films in the 80s/90s The Lion King probably holds a special place in your memory. Then it should warm your heart that one of Disney’s most mammothly successful hand drawn films is getting a theatrical re-release, only this time in 3D this Friday on September 16th.

To help promote the upcoming release, Go,See,Talk got to speak with star Moira Kelly (who played the adult Nala) about her experience with such an impacting and well loved film. The following is…

Trailer…'The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part I'
Not long ago we posted the very first teaser for the final film in the Twilight Saga (well Part I anyway). As Mrs. Go,See,Talk is a rabid fan (still short of being a Twi-hard though) this is really for her. Hmm, between Edward and Elvis she seems to have this strange fascination with dead guys…Anyway, for your brooding enjoyment here is the official trailer for The Twilight Saga’s Breaking Dawn – Part I: Past the first film (which I was surprised it wasn’t the total nose dive I was expecting) the series for me had been about as cold as the Cullens themselves. But as I’ve been told the…

G-S-T Review…Drive
To those children of the 80’s, Drive might seem like a welcomed trip in the way back machine to the kinds of dramatic films your parents would watch as you peeked through a cracked door. Not a period piece mind you, or even a true 80’s movie, Nicholas Winding Refn’s film just has a timeless look and feel that is both muted and yet bold (like a Michel Mann film). Further, that “look” is made enticing and ethereal thanks to Refn’s stylish visuals and a perfect selection of songs and score from Cliff Martinez. Winner of Best Director award at Cannes, this film has been getting so much attention and frankly it deserves all of it. Hold on tight, Drive is one…

Groovers & Mobsters Present: "Time Travel"
Groovers and Mobsters is back with another installment and today we focus on one of the most fun elements in the sci-fi genre; Time Travel. DISCLAIMER: Timecrimes (Los cronocrímenes) is one ultra effective and yet amazingly simplistic look at time travel. I have reservations about writing anything as this fantastic film benefits from going in completely blind. As such I feel telling anything about it would be a spoiler so I’ll keep this as exposition free as possible…although those of you who’ve seen it should know how great it is.

'300: Battle of Artemisia' Adds Minor Roles For Gerard Butler and Lena Headey
It’s been a while since we’ve heard anything solid about the follow up to Zack Snyder’s 300. But news from Movies.com gives us just an update (as well as some story line familiarity) beyond heresay and rumors a plenty. Producer Bernie Goldmann has confirmed that, “It’s a different story. [However] there’s a small part for Lena Headey. There’s a small part for Gerry [Butler].” Bringing back King Leonidas and Queen Gorgo in any capacity for this prequel will help tie the two film together even though they more than likely will be regulated to a cameo. Some argue the casting lesser-knowns in the first film helped its success. In that respect you could go as…

Tribeca Film Picks Up Rights to Tony Kaye's 'Detachment'
Making some buzz (and its world premier) at this year’s Tribeca Film Festival Adrien Brody starring alongside and very strong cast in Detachment from acclaimed Director Tony Kaye (American History X). Brody stars as Henry Barthes, an educator with a true talent to connect with his students. Yet Henry has chosen to bury his gift. By spending his days as a substitute teacher, he conveniently avoids any emotional connections by never staying anywhere long enough to form an attachment to either students or colleagues. When a new assignment places him at a public school where a frustrated, burned-out administration has created an apathetic student body, Henry soon becomes a role model to the disaffected youth.…

Netflix Instant – Death Dealer to the Personal Video Library?
They say that video killed the radio star, and frankly if it wasn’t true they wouldn’t have written a song about it right? Well friends, as per the news from last week, I guess in a few years time we might hear a tune touting how Netflix killed the video store…and I’m guessing a slew of film fans’ personal video libraries while they were at it. And while I’m not entirely sad to see Netflix take down Blockbuster I am a little mournful about the haymaker they’ve dealt to the mom-and-pop shops and even my own personal library. Headlines aside, it’s that last bit has actually been the inspiration for today’s’ editorial so lets get started shall…

The Rocketeer FINALLY Gets A Blu Ray Release!!
Last week we got some great news and after months, nay, years of praying one of my very favorite films is getting the Blu Ray treatment it deserves!! For two decades Cliff Secord and the gang have been garnering fans and after all this time this underrated gem has reached the level of cult classic. I’m an admitted die-hard Rocketeer junkie (try typing “The Rocketeer” in our search bar and you’ll find plenty of posts where I’ve either mentioned it or flat out gushed over the film or its fantastic score) and as such Joe Johnston’s serial adaptation of Dave Stevens’ graphic novel has made more trips to the VCR in my childhood than any other film. The previous DVD was…
