Hello World, Marc Here: I’ve been pretty busy with work and holiday planning, so I have decided to add a new section to Go, See,Talk called “While You Were Out“. In short, it’ll be a round up of sorts, allowing anyone (e.g. Me) who took their finger of the the pulse of the film world to play catch up… So from time to time if I don’t post as often during a week it’s probably because I have a lot on my plate. But don’t worry because I’ll be writing one of these to capture all the best parts of the week in one concise post and much like the…

Sweet Trailer…’The Beaver’
Mel Gibson isn’t the most loved celebrity right now and while he has more bad press and paparazzi problems than Lindsey Lohan, at least he can act himself out of a paper bag. So while he’s got some personal problems and they’re not really helping his public image, there is one golden rule in the entertainment world that applies no matter what: “Make one great film and the public will forgets all wrongdoing“…just look at Robert Downey Jr. That said, enter The Beaver, Mel’s latest fare from director and actor Jodie Foster. If you’ve seen posters or set photos in the past, you’ve probably been confused as to what it’s all about. Well dear friends, allow me…

Ohhh, Look…Neat Minimalist SuperHero/Villain Posters
Slow day here G-S-T fans, I won’t try to hide it. But to help speed us along, I do have something you may sort of enjoy. I found these cool looking Minimalist Superhero posters that are so simple I wish I’d thought of it. Anyway I got them from one of our favorite sites Geekologie (which is a sister site of I Watch Stuff). Neat thing is that these posters not only feature famous comic Super Heroes, but also the Villains. Have a look and see how many you can name. FYI, if you’re coming up short, I put the answers below…but only for the Heroes. What? You want me to…

Now Hear This…The ‘Cinema Code of Conduct’
How many times have you been in a theater trying to enjoy a film and find the less than optimal environment is unrelenting? Yup more than I can count as well. But fear not film fans, you’re not alone in and the UK Mark Kermode and Simon Mayo (the former is a film critic the later a radio presenter) have enacted a Cinema Code of Conduct to keep theaters as distraction free as possible. In what I think is an ever growing issue, an outing at the theater is one event that cinema fans are finding less and less desirable. It’s transitioning from escapism to an exercise in tolerance; namely how many yahoos and idiots can you…

G-S-T Review…127 Hours
Danny Boyle is known for fantastic and visually stimulating films. James Franco is an extremely versatile and dynamic actor. Amazing entertainers in their own right, together the two paired up for one of the years most intense and highly praised films. Telling the incredible true story of Aron Ralston was one that was handled with grace and respect…but still very much in your face. Boyle and Franco knocked this out of the park in a way that perfectly complimented Aron Ralston’s all-out and adrenaline-fueled lifestyle. For those of you still unfamiliar with Aron Ralston, the outdoor extraordinaire survived one hell of an ordeal while hiking Blue John Canyon (near Moab, Utah). By a…

G-S-T Quick 5 – Favorite Al Pacino Roles
“Hooah“…that’s right one gutteral sound to define one of the most amazing and talented actors in all of film. Last Tuesday the legendary Al Pacino came to Dallas…and I missed him. Yeah I was bummed to the enth degree and it’s taken me a whole week to get over. So to help my grieving I’ve thought long and hard about what films that I love and are made all the more amazing becasue it stars Al doing what he does best. I have been a fan of Al since being raised on films like The Godfather and HEAT, you know, the essentials. But while he has most certainly stumbled and taken…

G-S-T Review…Unstoppable
Half of the iconic Scott Free Productions, Tony Scott, in this run away train movie, provides plenty of action and fast paced tension. Really, for a movie about a train, it’s a lot better than you’d expect. Unstoppable makes for an enjoyable time even if it confines itself to the trappings of most actioners: 2 men, 1 task, a race around the clock, yadda yadda yadda. Yes it’s an old formula but it still works. It still it feels like Tony is always making films that try to be like his big brother Ridley’s but he always seems to fall short in terms of graneur and scale. As Ridley goes the more…

Sweet (Teaser) Trailer…’Cowboys & Aliens’
Oh man I don’t know how much more trailer awesomeness I can take in one week. Who am I kidding this is AWESOME!! On Monday we had the Cowboys & Aliens teaser poster and now we have the teaser trailer. What a week film fans, what a week! Check out Daniel Craig in the awesome trailer from Yahoo! Movies below: In Silver City, Arizona, Apache Indians and Western settlers must lay their differences aside when an alien spaceship crash lands in their city. Wow, that was just what a trailer should be; elusive and mysterious. This adaptation, of a graphic novel of the same name, is directed by Jon Favreau…

Sweet Trailer…’Your Highness’
Now this is quite a change in the ever dynamic career of James Franco. He’s such a hot property (I still thought he would have made for a good Anakin Skywalker) and it doesn’t look like he’s slowing down anytime soon. Yet for as amazing and professional as his performance is being praised in Danny Boyles’ 127 Hours, he looks like he’s still comfortable having some fun and hamming up the scene. Here Franco stars alongside Danny McBride and Natalie Portman in David Gordon Green‘s follow up to Pineapple Express. There’s a lot of raunchy laughs to be had…Enjoy! While I didn’t mind Pineapple Express I didn’t love it either; it just…

Sweet (Teaser) Trailer…’Green Lantern’
Well the hits just keep on coming don’t they? We thought two pretty sweet trailers in one day was enough. But as yesterday was just chock full of teaser/trailer goodness it seems there’s more fun to be had this week. Most of you have probably seen the Entertainment Tonight “first look” clip and intriguing as it was, we now have something even better! Below we have this simply stunning trailer for Martin Campbell‘s Green Lantern film starring Ryan Reynolds as Hal Jordan/Green Lantern. This longer than normal teaser trailer (kind of like the Thor trailer released at Comic Con) really sets the stage for the big screen debut of another popular DC…
