Angelina Jolie is no stranger to films depicting harsh realities, dour drama, and world issues. She also likes to throw a huge slice of bittersweet human interest pie into the mix. But more importantly, she tries to offer examples of perseverance and fortitude in the very darkest of situations. With Unbroken, like her last film which found sparks of humanity burning against the cruelty of war, the director wants us to feel something. It’s not pleasant, but pain is definitely something we feel. Jolie holds very little back as a story like this doesn’t quite have the impact if you, picking up on a key scene in the film, pull your…

G-S-T Review…Maleficent
Forget all you know, or think you know. That’s what Disney’s Maleficent asks of the audience right up front. Messing with a classic story takes ambition that’s for sure, especially when the studio in question doesn’t have great track record of as of late updating/reinventing popular stories or ones from their own catalog. From the first frame Robert Stromberg’s film struggles to do two things: reinterpret a well-known tale in a way that will engage new audiences, and then keep it interesting enough to make their version worth anything. Now Disney is known for re-branding popular stories as most of their landmark animated films are in fact adaptations and interpretations. Taking…

Sweet(er) Trailer…’Maleficent’
Well now, things are starting to look just a little bit better for Maleficent. That’s a good thing because for a while now we film fans have been getting gritty big-budget versions of popular fairy tales…with mixed results. On paper it seemed like a winning formula too. “Go dark.” they said. “Go gritty, it worked for Batman!” To which we clamored “Ohh, brooding!”. Well Snow White and the Huntsman was one of the more recent highly anticipated (and dark) features but is was also spectacularly boring and a huge let down. So when it was announced that the classic tale of Sleeping Beauty would be the next property to get a…

Ho-Hum Trailer…Angelina Jolie In ‘Maleficent’
In the upcoming film Maleficent The Walt Disney company is turning back the pages in their catalog to cast some light on one of their most popular, and apparently unexplored characters. Seemingly cast to perfection with Angelina Jolie this new film tells yet another untold tale of how an evil character came to be so, well, evil. Now it looks all kinds of pretty, chock full of that Disney-stylized whimsical magic, and it has an alluring factor that may or may not be completely attributed to a nostalgic factor (compounded by the shot-for-shot comparison scenes from the classic animated film) but we’ve been fooled before. Have a peek at the glitzy and…

Editor’s Note: Go,See,Talk presents this post from our guest contributing writer and friend of GST from across the pond. Dan Stephens is the managing editor and founder of Top10Films.co.uk. Not one to muck about with editorials and irreverent news articles, Dan and his fellow contributors hammer out awesome and definitive Top 10 lists. So have a look at his latest concoction and we implore you to check out some of this other stuff. I was asked recently by a friend to name my top 10 favorite actresses. I couldn’t answer. It wasn’t because there were so many great ones to choose from (like picking my all time number one movie), it was because I couldn’t think of one. The ones…

Off the Shelf…’Wanted’
Last night I watched Wanted and I forgot how much fun that movie was. Talk about a kick-ass movie that defies physics. This beyond cool movie was a “knock your socks off” actioner and if you blinked even once during the last 15 minutes then you probably missed a lot. Sure it was totally unbelievable but I’d equate it to Equilibrium with its imaginative and borderline genius gun fight sequences. A gun that can shoot around corners…wow, using a dead guy to ‘bullet proof vest’…cool idea (although a little bit of an Arnold rip-off). This movie was brainless fun but at the same time, simply flat-out exciting! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MDvP6OpRVu4
