To those of us who grew up in a world filled with arcades and 8-bit games, words cannot express how much of a love-letter this film is. In the vein of other heart-felt animated gems like Monster’s Inc. and The Incredibles, comes this super-sweet looking film about a video game villain, Ralph, who decides he no longer wants to be the “bad guy”, and ventures into other games in hopes of becoming a “hero”. This trailer premiered on MSN so have a look at it as well as an intro from Ralph himself, John C. Reilly… Directing this delightful looking animated throwback film is “Futurama” and “The Simpsons” alum Rich Moore.Yes, Brave looks really good but Wreck-It Ralph is the animated…

Ohhh, Look…Peter Jackson's 'The Hobbit' Video Blog #7
If there’s one guy who can bring unfilmable stories to the big screen it’s Peter Jackson. To unparalleled success he brought J.R.R. Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings trilogy to life and the fans loved him for it (you might recall that he snagged an Oscar or two for his efforts). Now he’s hard at work on the long awaited prequel The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey and that’s got fans everywhere clamoring for December. What makes his films so engaging is the insane about of detail he puts into them. Yet it’s not just what’s on the screen that’s fun to behold, it’s what goes on behind the scenes that can sometimes be…

Ohhh, Look…First Look At 'Wreck-It Ralph' Characters – UPDATED
Last week we got a look at Ralph, from Pixar’s upcoming Wreck-It Ralph. It wasn’t much but it did have that old school, side-of-an-arcade-game look/feel to it. But this morning, USA Today has 4 exclusive images from the feature. In the film about a vintage 8-bit brute, Ralph (voiced by John C. Reilly) has been bashing buildings for 30 years as the well-mannered hero Fix-It Felix, Jr. (30 Rock’s Jack McBrayer) has constantly repaired all his demolition handiwork. Ralph decides he no longer wants to be the “bad guy”, but in his attempts to change his ways he unleashes a deadly enemy who threatens to destroy every game in the arcade. Behold, some…

Off the Netflix Queue…'The Red Violin'
Go,See,Talk is proud to present this Off the Shelf/Netflix Queue entry as the first post from our new contributing writer Jessica. She’ll be making more appearances on the site in the next few months and we’re glad to have her aboard. So enjoy her view and welcome her to G-S-T. I am drawn to films that are capable of introducing an audience to multiple story lines, and then carefully crafting them together so that these seemingly fragmented parts become one whole by the end. So when Netflix suggested The Red Violin, about the life of one mysterious violin and its many owners, I imagined this multi-narrative structure would likely be…

“The CineMagic 8-Ball” – In Theaters 6/01/12
When so many movies are released each weekend and trailers often seem better than the movie itself, what should one do?

Sweet Trailer…'The Bourne Legacy'
Hot off the press comes this ‘sneak peek’ featuring Jeremy Renner (The Hurt Locker, The Avengers, M:I 4) taking over the series for Matt Damon. As we’ve seen in the last teaser the spy world is so much larger than we ever imagined. Case in point: the great tagline “there was never just one” is incredibly deep and impacting to say the least. So feast your eyes on this trailer for The Bourne Legacy, which does a great job of showing how this film fits into Damon’s Bourne universe with a side/parallel story from writer/director Tony Gilroy…enjoy! In addition to Renner taking the reins we’ll see the supporting cast of Albert Finney, Joan Allen and Scott Glen return…

Sweet Trailer…'Branded'
…or, at least we think it’s a sweet trailer. This film from directors Jamie Bradshaw and Aleksandr Dulerayn calls to mind the familiar saying that “what’s old is new again“. This year we’re already seeing it with updates/reboots of films from Batman to Alien, and similarly here comes something that might make John Carpenter proud…or scratch his head. While the trailer seems straight-forward, at least in concept, it does go from engaging to WTF in about 8 seconds. Like a bizarre mix of They Live and anything David Cronenberg, this sci-fi mindscrew might just keep your interest. Have a look… Branded is both written and directed by Jamie Bradshaw and Aleksandr Dulerayn and stars Jeffrey Tambor, Max von Sydow, Leelee Sobieski, and Ed Stoppard.…

Ohhh, Look…'Wreck-It Ralph' Character Images
This goes out to all you Pixar fans and 8-bit junkies. In case you haven’t heard, the gang at Pixar has come up with a pretty awesome sounding idea for a film called Wreck -It Ralph. Disney announced this project last August at the D23 Expo along with a string of titles. Most of those mentioned have already hit theaters but this has been one that we at G-S-T have been the most excited about. In the film, the main character Ralph decides he no longer wants to be the “bad guy”, and ventures into other games in hopes of becoming a “hero”. See? Told you it sounded awesome! While many film fans…
