[DIFF Review]…Between Us
Between Us deals with the harsh realities that exist in friendships, love marriage and life that are rarely depicted in films. Director Dan Mirvish, co-founder of the Slamdance Film Festival, adapted the film from an Off-Broadway play by Joe Hortua. The film revolves around the lives of Carlo (Taye Diggs) and Joel (David Harbour), two friends who first met in art school, and moves between present moments and flashbacks into the past where we are introduced to Joel and his wife Sharyl (Melissa George) as they are hosting Carlo and his new wife Grace (Julie Stiles) at their large home in the Midwest. At this point we learn Joel and…

[DIFF Review]…Diving Normal
Character-driven narrative feature Diving Normal that tells the story of a love triangle that occurs when two unlikely friends fall for the same girl. The film is an adaptation of the critically acclaimed play of the same name, and centers around the lives of Fulton and Gordon (played by Philipp Karner and Scotty Crowe, respectively, who also produced and co-wrote the adapted screenplay with playwright Ashlin Halfnight). Fulton and Gordon are an odd pair; Fulton is an adorable, successful graphic novelist who has no problem attracting attention from the ladies, despite (and maybe slightly because of) brief moments of insecurity, and Gordon is his sweet, yet extremely socially awkward neighbor…

Sweet Trailer…'R.I.P.D.'
While it may not be apparent to the average film fan, there are a lot of movies out there that are adapted from comics. Sure everyone knows Superman, Spider-Man and those properties, but now people are becoming more familiar with off-beat characters Kick-Ass and Scott Pilgrim as well as the likes of RED and the MIB. For those of you new to this table, R.I.P.D. is a short-lived and obscure but still popular Dark Horse Comics mini-series. At first glance it looks like an even-handed mix of Men In Black and Hellblazer (aka Constantine) but still looks like it’s got the legs and wacky fun to keep it from being a face plant like Cowboys &…

[DIFF Review]…A Teacher
While A Teacher may appear on the outset to be a typical tale of the inappropriate student/teacher relationship that has become all too familiar due their sensationalized media coverage, writer/director Hannah Fidell takes an in-depth, psychological approach, asking the audience to ponder the inner workings of a mind capable of such a taboo. The film begins in medias res, though Fidell chooses not to fill us in on how a lonely teacher named Diana (Lindsay Burdge), and her student Eric (Will Brittain) who epitomizes what every teenage boy is really like, confident and carefree as if invincible, ignorant to the hard truths of the world and therefore naïve to the…

Sweet Trailer…'The Hunger Games: Catching Fire'
We’re more than a year out from the release of last year’s The Hunger Games– which we here at Go, See, Talk! really dug– and still around eight months away from the theatrical run of the next installment in the series, Catching Fire. That’s enough to drive a fan of Suzanne Collins’ dystopian young adult sci-fi novels nuts, so we should all be thankful that Lionsgate is throwing us a bone with the release of the first official teaser for the film- even more so since the clip is pretty darn great. Catching Fire, for the uninitiated, picks up right where the last movie leaves off, putting Katniss (Jennifer Lawrence, plus…

G-S-T Review…'42'
If Jackie Robinson’s fate had seen him turn out an unsung hero, 42 might be more worthy of protest. Taken at face value, it’s strictly inoffensive; it’s the tale of how Jackie Robinson broke the glass ceiling in baseball, diluted into a series of uplifting bullet points before coming to an abrupt and all-too-convenient close (because nobody wants to end a feel-good movie with reality). There’s a blueprint to this sort of cinema, and Brian Helgeland follows it doggedly in his third- technically fourth, if you count Payback*- directorial outing, hitting beat after crowd-pleasing, expected beat. Maybe that’s not a crime worthy of filmmaker jail, but it’s certainly not a guaranteed path…
