We are about 6 months away from the highly anticipated 23rd entry to the 007 franchise and today we get the very first teaser trailer! Skyfall is directed by Academy Award winner Sam Mendes (Road to Perdition, Away We Go) and will see the return of Daniel Crag for his third outing as the world’s most popular super-spy. For a teaser, this looks really, really good. It doesn’t give much away but still hints at the allure and mystique we’ve come to expect in the James Bond universe. Enough talk, enjoy… Craig will be sharing the screen with some simply top drawer talent including Dame Judi Dench, Ralph Fiennes, Albert Finney, Naomie Harris, Bérénice Marlohe, as…

Whether you rent or buy movies, Blu-ray offers the ultimate in sight and sound. Streaming is convenient, but if you plan on watching the movie more than once, you need Blu.

Check out what’s hitting the shelves this week… ——————————————————————————————————————————— The Secret World of Arrietty revolves around a tiny but tenacious 14-year-old, who lives with her parents in the recesses of a suburban garden home.

G-S-T Review…Battleship
If you feel the need to blame someone for the birth, production, and release of Battleship— as I do– look no further than Michael Bay. The proprietor of shining contemporary examples of big spectacle gone very, very stupid, Bay brought the “movies based on toy lines” movement to life in 2007 with Transformers; two sequels and a G.I. Joe film later (which itself is getting sequelized this summer), and that childish aesthetic shows no signs of abating in the near future. Battleship proves to be the loudest and dumbest toy-to-cinema adaptation yet (barring last year’s Transformers: Dark of the Moon), a soulless, pointless, hollow cacophony of trite cliches and boring…

G-S-T Review…What to Expect When You’re Expecting
What to Expect When You’re Expecting was inspired by the New York Times bestseller with the same title. While the book is a guide to help women understand what to expect during pregnancy, the movie is a hilarious and heartwarming comedy. The movie follows five couples whose lives are dramatically changed by the challenges of preparing for parenthood. This movie boasts an ensemble cast, which doesn’t always equate to box office success. Keep reading to find out what you can expect from What to Expect When You’re Expecting. Author of a new children’s book and baby store owner Wendy (Elizabeth Banks), gets a big dose of her own overbearing advice when…

Exclusive: Video Interview…Film Composer Michael Giacchino
To close out their Masters of Film Music series, the Dallas Symphony Orchestra has invited Oscar-winning film composer Michael Giacchino (pronounced “Juh-keen-oh“) to conduct a retrospective concert from May 18th – 20th. The set list, which he’s calling Stories of Islands, Balloons and Space, will include a number of his most popular and well-loved themes/music including Lost, Up, Star Trek, Super 8 and Ratatoulie. While he’s garnered plenty of acclaim and accolades this will be one of the few time he’s ever conducted his work. But before he takes the stage for his 3 night engagement (the first time that an orchestra in the United States has performed a complete range of his work), he agreed to meet with G-S-T for an exclusive interview.

"The CineMagic 8-Ball” – In Theaters 5/18/12

Sweet (and Spooky) Trailer…'The Possession'
Sam Raimi (The Evil Dead, Drag Me To Hell) produces the mid-Summer shocker The Possession. The film follows a divorced couple dealing with their young daughter’s recent change after she acquires a mysterious antique box at a yard sale. Only, there’s no music in this box, it contains a Dybbuk: a “wandering spirit who takes over the bodies of living people, rather than moving onto the next realm of existence“. Sounds like a quasi-new spin for a horror film and with a dependable cast and a really excellent music choice, this trailer might actually surprise you. Enjoy! Directed by Ole Bornedal, The Possession stars Madison Davenport, Jeffrey Dean Morgan and Kyra Sedgwick…

Ohhh, Look…Behind the Scenes Look At ‘The Amazing Spider-Man’ with Director Marc Webb
Following the awesome 4 minute trailer of The Amazing Spider-Man which hit the web yesterday (pun intended!) comes this equally impressive Behind the Scenes featurette.

Enjoy this little glimpse into the Spider-Man universe led by Mr. Webb… Man, this film just continues to impress as we get closer to the release date. The Amazing Spider-Man stars Andrew Garfield, Emma Stone and Rhys Ifans as well as a terrific supporting cast.

Sweet Trailer…Four-Minute Extended Preview of ‘The Amazing Spider-Man’
Like all great trailers, this 4 minute preview of Marc Webb’s The Amazing Spider-Man has been teased, hyped and like the two that came before it, TOTALLY delivers. Endless love for Raimi and Maguire aside, this looks fantastic. As you might suspect, 4 minutes will show more than you probably wanted to see but it is worth it. Enjoy this “super preview” and the two latest theatrical posters below… Even though this is an origin story (that some still call unnecessary) Webb’s Spider-Man will do one better by going with some deeper back-story to tell the “untold story” of Peter Parker. Specifically we’ll learn how he came to be raised by his…
