A year and some months before we are set to see Henry Cavill soar up up and away we’ll be seeing him play a young American who uncovers a conspiracy during his attempt to save his family, who were kidnapped while on vacation in Spain. It sounds like your run of the mill early-to-mid-year actioner but there’s enough bravado to make it entertaining. I’m game, have a look for yourselves… There’s not a lot that Bruce can do wrong and it’s great to see him still running and gunning with Hollywood’s new blood. Cavill playing Kal-El aside I think he’s got a long future in film and I can’t wait to…

G-S-T Review…The Grey
Editor’s Note: Go,See,Talk presents this review of The Grey from our staff writer Andrew Crump (of A Constant Visual Feast.) Have a look at what he had to say about Joe Carnahan’s tense survival flick and offer your thoughts below. Ten years after the release of Narc, Joe Carnahan has returned to where he started as a filmmaker with survival thriller The Grey, eschewing hyper-stylized shoot-outs and outrageous, impossible action scenes for something grim, grounded, and surprisingly poetic. While a film set in the Alaskan wilds feels like a far cry from a gritty urban tale of narcotics investigations, The Grey shares far more in common with Narc than Carnahan’s recent outings, studio tent-pole hopeful The A-Team and the Tarantino-influenced Smokin’ Aces. The…

G-S-T Review…Man On A Ledge
Editor’s Note: Go,See,Talk presents this review of Man On A Ledge from our guest contributing writer Bill Graham. Have a look at what he had to say about the Sam Worthington led crime thriller and offer your thoughts below. A talented cast does not always equal out to a quality film. While Sam Worthington defiantly clings to the side of a building with threats of suicide, his plight to be found innocent is mostly hollow. Sometimes the withholding of information from an audience can have a great payoff. Then there is Man On A Ledge. Director Asger Leth seems content to hold most of his cards just out of the audience’s reach. That…

Ohhh, Look…Insane Behind the Scenes Reel for ‘Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance’
In the comic book world, adaptations can swing wildly from perfection to utter tragedy with a handful of films finding home in the middle ground. In the past I’ve gone on about which comic films have been good, bad and break evens but filmmakers are finding their groove these days and most of those films are putting their properties in the win columns. One to root for an underdog, when a product is ill-received in the first go round I am always up for a redeeming sequel. But when a film is so bad even those responsible wish they could unsee it, a prequel, sequel or reboot, even in this day and age,…

Roundtable Discussion with ‘Real Steel′ Animatronic Supervisor JOHN ROSENGRANT
John Rosengrant has been creating groundbreaking special effects for films since working with Stan Winston on The Terminator. He did spectacularly seamless VFX work for Dreamworks’ Real Steel and his marriage of practical and CG robots really helped sell the heart of this wonderful family film. He’s worked on all sorts of films from sci-fi classics like The Terminator and Predator to blockbusters like Jurassic Park and Avatar (just check out his IMDb page or see his bio at the bottom of this post). Basically if there was mind-blowing movie magic happening on screen, it was most likely John working his magic off screen. Go, See, Talk and other movie sites were invited to participate in an exclusive…
