Exclusive: Video Interview…Film Composer James Newton Howard
Oscar-nominated film composer James Newton Howard was invited to Dallas to perform some of his favorite and well known cinematic themes as the first performance kicking-off the 2012 Masters of Film Music series with the Dallas Symphony Orchestra. But before he conducted his fantastic live retrospective concert, he agreed to meet with G-S-T for an exclusive interview. Due to Mr. Howard’s hectic schedule we had to break our session with him into two parts. As you’ll see and hear in the video, he was extremely down to earth and answered a wealth of questions. We discussed a wide range of topics from his roots, his inspiration/motivation, his process and more. Enjoy this insightful sit down with…

Full List of Nominations for The 65th Annual BAFTA Awards
The Golden Globes are behind us, the Academy Awards just a few weeks a head of us but the one awards event filling the gap between self-congratulatory (Globes) and career defining (Oscars) are the Orange BAFTAs. The British organization just released their official list of nominations this morning and lots of this year’s great/favorite films are rightfully being recognized. There are always going to be a number of films that lead the pack in every awards ceremony but The Artist is most definitely the one to beat this year as it has 12 nominations. Right on the heel’s of Hazanavicius’ silent crowd pleaser is the slow-burn spy film Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy with 11 nominations…

Interview…’Dead Poets Society’ Writer Tom Schulman

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.

G-S-T Review…The Iron Lady
Editor’s Note: Go,See,Talk presents this review of The Iron Lady from our guest contributing writer Bill Graham. Have a look at what he had to say about the Meryl Streep’s period piece and offer your thoughts below. There’s little question going into The Iron Lady what to expect from Meryl Streep. No. The mystery is the film surrounding her performance as Margaret Thatcher. That’s, ultimately, the shame.

Phyllida Lloyd is at the helm of this melodrama that seems to merely exist as a textbook of…

G-S-T Review…Contraband
Editor’s Note: Go,See,Talk presents this review of Contraband our guest contributing writer Bill Graham. Have a look at what he had to say about this Mark Wahlberg actioner and offer your thoughts below. Heist films typically come down to how the protagonists will pull it off. Rarely is there drama about if they will succeed. Which means the idea behind the heist has to be intelligent enough to stand on its own. Everything before and after is just noise in the case of Contraband. Violent and dumb, this material is elevated to passable entertainment because of the actors within. Mark Wahlberg, J.K. Simmons, Kate Beckinsale, Giovanni Ribisi, and Ben Foster pepper the…
