Editor’s Note: Go,See,Talk presents this review of Puss In Boots as part of a series of entries from our guest contributing writer Grady M. DreamWorks has dreamt up yet another hit movie with Puss in Boots. This prequel to Shrek will entertain adults with its witty banter as the children chuckle at the physical comedy. The back story on Puss in Boots is heartwarming and emotionally charged, like the entire Shrek series. DreamWorks has a knack for taking existing nursery rhymes and turning them into something a little bolder, with crude humor wrapped around a barrel of laughs. This prequel to the Shrek series wasn’t just another spin-off to rake in…

Sweet (and Spooky) Trailer…The Woman In Black
From director James Watkins (Eden Lake) and screenwriter Jane Goldman (Kick-Ass, X-Men: First Class) comes the adaptation of Susan Hills’ atmospheric novel The Woman in Black which follows young lawyer Arthur Kipps (Daniel Radcliffe) as he travels to a remote village to organize a recently deceased client’s papers. But an evil presence lurks and there he encounters the ghost of a scorned woman set on vengeance. It’s got just the right mix of creepy settings and boo scares so have a look at this shorter but still effective trailer… Radcliffe will be starring alongside the likes of Ciarán Hinds, Janet McTeer, Roger Allam and The Woman in Black has been slated for a release date of February 3rd 2012. Mrs. Go,See,Talk saw a 2…

G-S-T Review…Tower Heist
Editor’s Note: Go,See,Talk presents this review of Tower Heist as the debut entry from our guest contributing writer Grady M. He’s going to be making some more appearances on G-S-T in the next few weeks so have a look at what he had to say about Brett Ratner’s latest flick and offer your thoughts below. Tower Heist, to sum it up briefly, was a lot better than I expected. If you’ve seen a trailer for the movie then you realize you may have to suspend disbelief. That’s an understatement if you are familiar with the laws of physics, but I digress. It’s clearly a comedy, but wait…is that Eddie Murphy? This isn’t a kiddy…

Gerard Butler To Lead Ridley Scott's Fact-Based Mercenary Thriller
Ridley Scott has signed on to direct and produce the story of Simon Mann, a former British army officer who, in 2004, attempted to stage a coup against the president of Equatorial Guinea. This film would be financed and shot by the Scott Free production label Ridley started with his brother Tony. Though Scott and Butler’s schedules are tied up with their respective projects for quite sometime the two might be a while before they even get started but it’s still an interesting collaboration. Thanks to Collider for the tip…

G-S-T Review…'The Descendants'
Alexander Payne films are not my cup of tea. About Schmidt had its moments (awkward though they might have been) and I just couldn’t believe how over-hyped and mismarketed Sideways was. That said, I was not expecting to enjoy Payne’s latest film The Descendants. Payne directs this adaptaion of the Kaui Hart Hemmings novel of the same name which tells the story of yet another broken family who are equally down on their luck, but teach us that when unexpected tragedies arise it’s OK to no have all the answers. It was surprisingly enjoyable without becoming preachy or overly independent feeling and Clooney can certainly expect to receive a well deserved nod this Oscar season.

Sweet Trailer…'Brave'
Brave tells the tale of Scottish Princess Merida, an unruly daughter of royal nobility who is not content living by her family’s rules (sound like any other Disney Pricesses we know??). Merida one day defies a sacred custom of the land and inadvertently brings turmoil to the kingdom. Going in the “way back machine” this excitingly looks in the same vein of the other recent and fun medieval stories like Legend of The Guardians or How To Train Your Dragon and that’s got my fires stoked! For those of you who were on board for the teaser trailer back in June behold, the full length trailer…now with more Scottish accents. Enjoy! Originally Brave was to be directed…

Sweet Trailer…'Being Flynn'
It’s been a while since Paul Weitz gave us About A Boy (an endlessly charming family-centric film if I do say so myself) and unfortunately as of late his track record has been on par with the once mighty Shamhammer (read: Shyamalan). While no one was expecting anything of merit from Little Fockers, the most recent in a series of underwhelming films from both Weitz and De Niro, the two reunite in the adaptation of offering a story about another of a troubled broken family looking for some semblance of normalcy. Below is the trailer for the Robert De Niro led film Being Flynn. Have a look… So far, I’m game. The unassuming…

Twilight Breaks Dawn In Dallas
On Wednesday evening, four members of the insanely popular Twilight franchise touched down here in Dallas as part of a 5 city press tour. Partaking in all the Twi-hard fun was the one and only Mrs. Go,See,Talk who was one of the few people who won a contest to meet the visiting stars Jackson Rathbone, Nikki Reed, Ashley Greene and Charlie Bewley at the event here in town. I thought it would be a little fun to have her write her experience (not as a correspondent mind you, but a star struck fan) so have a look at her recap of her fun but all to brief star-studded night after the jump…

Sweet Trailer…'Snow White & The Huntsman' – UPDATED
Wow! I knew this other Snow White movie was going for a larger and grittier tone but I wasn’t expecting this. From Universal Pictures comes the Rupert Sanders directed take on the Snow White story we all know…or think we know. Combining the looks of the Lord of the Rings trilogy with a scale on par with anything Ridley Scott has ever done this just floored me. Enough words, just watch…oh and sorry for the short ad below. Enjoy!! Going for a rather heavy and dark spin on the famous fairytale this looks, as I kind of imagined, waaay more interesting and captivating than the upcoming Tarsem Singh film Mirror, Mirror. Can’t say much…
