New Feature – "The CineMagic 8-Ball"
The CineMagic 8-Ball (TM) is another new, weekly feature we have added in conjunction with our upcoming 3rd Anniversary of Go,See,Talk. When so many movies are released each weekend and trailers often seem better than the movie itself, what should one do? In this precarious situation, we consult the handy CineMagic 8-Ball to help us see through the nebulous marketing haze. Doing so just might save us all a disheartening trip to the cinema and spare us springing for $7 popcorn. Disclaimer: While The CineMagic 8-Ball (TM) may be the warning sign to avoid a chick flick of questionable quality, you may still unavoidably have to see it. Unfortunately a ‘chick flick escape clause’ is out…

Interview…’Dead Poets Society’ Writer Tom Schulman
Dead Poets Society (1989), starring Robin Williams and Ethan Hawke, makes its way to Blu-ray on Tuesday (01/17/2012). This movie won 13 awards, including an Oscar for Best Writing, Screenplay Written Directly for the Screen. It was also nominated for 17 other awards. It was my honor and privilege to interview the screenwriter of Dead Poets Society, Tom Schulman. What follows is the transcription of my interview with Tom. While I expected him to be cordial, I was not expecting him to be extremely nice. Tom is an accomplished screenwriter, with some amazing movie titles under his belt, yet he made me feel right at home. Tom was very humble;…

G-S-T Year In Review – Grady’s 2011 Wrap Up
This year went by pretty fast and like Ferris Bueller once said about life, “if you don’t stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it“. Well, a decent number of films got by me, but I managed to lock in on a few of the best (and worst) of 2011. With that being said, here is my rundown of some gems that graced the big screen this year…

G-S-T Review…War Horse
War Horse gallops across the big screen with a deep sense of courage and pride. The film starts with an emotional backstory, slowly builds steam and then thrusts you directly into battle. Everyday struggles are mixed with emotional strife, as the war entangles this tiny European town. This incredibly inspiring film makes you pause for a moment to reflect on what is most important in life.

G-S-T Review…Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy
Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy brilliantly captures the zeitgeist of the Cold War era. For you purists out there, this work of art utilizes aged film grain throughout the entire picture. This is not a film set in the 1970’s, shot in HD and hurled at your face in 3D. This motion picture is one of the closest representations of a 1970’s spy film, since the 1970’s. If you still own, or ever owned, a Betamax VCR you might wish, for nostalgia sake only, that this movie was being released on Blu-ray, DVD, Digital Copy, Ultraviolet Digital Copy and Betamax (not VHS).

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…

G-S-T Review…Puss In Boots
Editor’s Note: Go,See,Talk presents this review of Puss In Boots as part of a series of entries from our guest contributing writer Grady M. DreamWorks has dreamt up yet another hit movie with Puss in Boots. This prequel to Shrek will entertain adults with its witty banter as the children chuckle at the physical comedy. The back story on Puss in Boots is heartwarming and emotionally charged, like the entire Shrek series. DreamWorks has a knack for taking existing nursery rhymes and turning them into something a little bolder, with crude humor wrapped around a barrel of laughs. This prequel to the Shrek series wasn’t just another spin-off to rake in…
