Editor’s Note: Go,See,Talk presents this review of The Woman In Black from our guest contributing writer Bill Graham. Have a look at what he had to say about the Daniel Radcliffe’s eerie post-Potter film and offer your thoughts below. “Is that all they’ve got?” That’s what I wondered as I sat through Daniel Radcliffe’s first foray onto the big screen since the conclusion of the Harry Potter film franchise with The Woman In Black. He went from dark adventure fantasy to Victorian-era Gothic horror that simply throws jump scare after jump scare at you in the hopes of getting a reaction. For many of the teenage girls in the audience—perhaps fans of…

G-S-T Review…The Innkeepers
Editor’s Note: Go,See,Talk presents this review of The Innkeepers from our staff writer Andrew Crump (of A Constant Visual Feast.) Have a look at what he had to say about Ti West’s sophomore effort and offer your thoughts below. Categorizing Ti West’s The Innkeepers accurately seems tricky at a glance; is it a horror film with comedy elements, or the other way around? Invariably, the film falls under the horror umbrella without much debate but its blend of scares, charm and laughter makes it a genre standout among more recent haunted house fare. Dread builds over the course of The Innkeepers, and inevitably that leads us to a suspenseful, frightening climax in which our worst fears…

Sweet (2nd) Trailer…'The Hunger Games'
Today we’re treated to the second trailer for the adaptation of Suzanne Collins‘ best selling novel (the first in a series of 4 planned films from her 3 books). While the teaser didn’t do much but confuse, the first official trailer was infinitely more satisfying. From Yahoo, we have a shorter but deeper look into this bizarrely exquisite futuristic tale in which “a nationally televised event in which ‘Tributes’ must fight with one another until one survivor remains“. Kind of looks like a mix of The Running Man, Logan’s Run and Harry Potter for the young adult set…but maybe that’s just me since I’ve never read the books. Anyway, have a look. The Hunger Games stars Jennifer…

Sweet Trailer…'Red Lights'
Hot off its premier at Sundance Red Lights, the follow-up to director Rodrigo Cortés’ Buried, was picked up by Millennium Entertainment despite some reportedly mixed reviews. The film follows psychologist Margaret Matheson (Weaver) and her assistant (Murphy) study whose study of paranormal activity leads them to investigate a world-renowned psychic (De Niro) who may in fact be a fraud. It’s got the goods to get you on board, but something still seems a bit off. Have a look for yourselves… Starring Cillian Murphy, Robert DeNiro, Red Lights will hit theaters in Spain on March 2nd but no word yet on a stateside (or VOD?) release date. Whaddya think about this A-List supernatural thriller? Anyone excited to see how Cortés does in his sophomore effort? Anyone…

Sweet Trailer…'The Cold Light of Day'
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…

As far as awards go, the Academy Awards is the Super Bowl of the film/entertainment world recognizing (and snubbing) the very best of what the previous calendar year had to offer.
