OK I have to admit that of the ho-hum and forgettable past Dreamworks Animation pictures, I was extremely surprised with Kung Fu Panda. While I believe that Jack Black is a dish made tolerable in small doses, he fit the character Po perfectly; clumsy, pitiful but still heartwarmingly hilarious. Anyway Dreamworks has been working on the follow up titled Kung Fu Panda 2: The Kaboom of Doom and it’ll actually be here pretty soon. For now, take a look at the teaser trailer below… This upcoming animated film and the sequel to the 2008 film, Kung Fu Panda will be presented in 3-D. Directed by Jennifer Yuh, this sequel follows Po…

Sweet Trailer…'Hall Pass'
Here we have the trailer Owen Wilson’s latest film Hall Pass. While I do like the guy I think his novelty has worn off. Personally speaking he’s just not making anything of value anymore; merely collecting paychecks with his quirky humor. But in this economy, a job is a job and we should all be so lucky right? However this is a Farrelly Brothers film and looks like his brand of humor could be a good fit for their style of writing. While their films have been more and more disappointing, this one may just work. Anyway have a look and let me know what you think… Owen Wilson and SNL’s…

Sweet Trailer…'London Boulevard'
OK now here’s a trailer to get you excited…well maybe not excited but interested. Colin Farrell, alongside Keira Knightley and Ray Winstone, stars in the new crime thriller London Boulevard. As you’ll see below, the trailer isn’t exactly straightforward so let me refer you to the synopsis from IMDb: “London Boulevard” is the story of a man newly released from prison who falls in love with a reclusive young movie star and finds himself in a duel with a vicious gangster. Hmm, maybe the trailer is more expository. Have a look and let me know what you think… Maybe it’s just me but I’m reminded of Layer Cake which I think…

Film Community Potluck Series…'Top Secret!'
For years I have heard great things about Top Secret! but for whatever reason just hadn’t seen it. Now thanks to the current round of movie recommendations at Anomalous Material (suggested by Dan) I have just knocked one hilarious 80’s gem of my “To See” list. A long time coming yes but this was definitely up my alley and in short is a spoof movie with few equals. To start off I must state that there’s two kinds of Val Kilmer out there. First is the ultra-talented method actor who is able to channel the likes of well anyone (e.g. Jim Morrison). Then there’s an equally charismatic Kilmer who, without trying, can…

Last Minute Spooks: G-S-T Plays Catch Up on Horror Films
Much like others bloggers out there we at G-S-T are owning up to having huge gaps in our Horror vernacular. Well I guess having a blog means we need to get our act together and become well-versed in all avenues of film. So as sort of a companion piece to our 10 Flicks for Halloween, here’s our thoughts on 10 frightening films we’ve never seen before now. So with Halloween right around the corner was this exercise worth 20 hours of my life? Do these titles have any value or live up to the hype? Well I guess you’ll just have to read and find out…

Film Community Potluck Series: ‘Outbreak’
Next up in our Film Community Potluck series we have this little “scare you with science” flick from the 90’s. In a world where terrorism, unemployment and terrible economy abound, sometimes its what you can’t see that really give you chills. So just before Halloween here’s another flick (recommended by MoviesCrunch). Great, like there’s not enough to be scared of these days. Wolfgang Peterson’s big budget, star studded paranoia film does for disease what Spielberg did for sharks. Well, not to that extent but it certainly makes a case for getting a flu shot at the very least.

FourScore Match-Up #7: "Batteries Not Included"
Today we’ve got robots, robots everywhere; good, bad, big, small, made of new parts and spare parts. Each film features four equally impressive scores about peace, love, family and even all out war. Quite a mixed bag of bolts, wouldn’t you say? In true Rock’em Sock’em format we pit these big guys (and not so big guys) up against one another. Leave it to great composers to craft such amazing scores to make you feel emotional for walking trash cans. So which of these can take a licking and keep on ticking?? Is the story of a boy and his Giant, How about that gorgeous CG moral lesson touting we can…

Watch the First 5 Minutes of Dreamworks Animation's "Megamind"
Dreamworks Animation has been constantly improving and due to the amazing success of How to Train Your Dragon, they look to be right on the heels of Pixar. But who are we kidding? They’ll never catch up to Pixar but in my book they do get huge points for trying. In fact they are trying something new and I like the idea. To get audiences more excited about their upcoming feature, the video below offers interested movie goers a chance to watch the first 5 minutes of Megamind FOR FREE:) So have a look and see if the “free 5 minutes” is worth your hard earned 10 bucks in the theater… The supervillain…
