On November 17th, writer/director Steve McQueen and actor Michael Fassbender stopped in Dallas as part of a whirlwind PA tour to promote their new movie Shame. McQueen and Fassbender held this very private round table discussion to talk about their brilliant and controversial film. Having worked together on the powerful fact-based film Hunger the two have undeniable chemistry and are talented entertainers of the highest merit. After being simply floored by Shame at the screening a few weeks before Thanksgiving I could not stop thinking about the film and as such had a boat load of questions for the them. Go,See,Talk and some select local media outlets sat in on (and directly across from I…

G-S-T Review…Shame
Addictions come in all shapes and sizes. Most of the time an addiction is based on a series of lies but nearly all of the time it involves us telling lies to ourselves. Shame is a candid story that gets to the core of a man in crisis and inevitable deconstruction due to his unflinching and unsavory lifestyle. Similar to what Darren Aronofsky did with Requiem For A Dream, writer/director Steve McQueen (Hunger) gives us a slow-paced downward spiral of self-destruction that is painful to watch yet you simply cannot turn away.

Sweet Trailer…'John Carter of Mars'
Wow, now this is just looking sooo much better. A few months back Disney released one major league teaser for Andrew Stanton’s film adaptation of Edgar Rice Burroughs’ John Carter. Seeming to have a Cowboys & Aliens meets Avatar vibe some may have been put off by the strange alchemy of stories/genres but this second trailer should get a good number of naysayers on the JCM bandwagon. Earlier today Good Morning America gave us a sneak peek (thanks to First Showing for the heads up) but now we have the official second trailer in its entirety and it doesn’t disappoint one bit. Have a look and enjoy!! Pixar superstar Andrew Stanton…

Sweet (and Short) Red Band Trailer…'Young Adult'
In October, the full trailer for the new Jason Reitman film Young Adult hit the web. It was quirky, funny and most of all it reminded us that petty high schoolers grow old but they don’t always grow up. Today we get a small taste of what is really in store for us as we see the beautiful Charlize Theron channeling Diablo Cody’s not so beautiful writing. For those faint of heart, have look at the green band trailer. For those of you who need a short but bitter mid-Tuesday wake up shot, look no further… Charlize plays Mavis Gary the foul-mouthed divorcee returning to her old life in small-town suburbia and…

G-S-T Review…The Muppets
The Muppets is a long awaited a reunion concert experience that showcases our old friends doing what they do best: singing, dancing, joking and playing music. What is pretty clever is that not only is this a meta story asking and answering the question “where have the Muppets been?“, it reflects the social mindset that wondered the same thing as if the Muppets were living breathing creatures. But even without the involvement of Frank Oz this still feels like a true Muppet movie with all the charm and allure that has kept the property vibrant for decades. The Muppets are a brand everyone knows and as such we were allowed to jump fuzzy…

G-S-T Review…Arthur Christmas
Christmas gets here earlier and earlier each year to the point that it’s finding a foothold on the calendar just days after Halloween and causes little children to ask “mommy, did we skip a holiday?“. This time however you won’t mind Christmas jumping the gun. Sony Pictures Animation and Aardman bring us a funny holiday film that is beyond delightful and simply gorgeous. I hate to throw myself into a review, but this time I just cannot resist; I whole heartily loved this movie!! It’s the kind of film that hits on all cylinders, appeals to all age groups and demographics and is a story that is not just fun but one worth…

G-S-T Review…Puss In Boots
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…
