    Ohhh, Look…Kermit's Coverage From 'Pirates of the Caribbean 4' Premiere

    Disney’s got a really cute idea for the ‘Pirates of the Caribbean 4’ Premiere. It’s called Kermit-Cam and basically it’s our favorite frog interviewing several stars from the latest Pirates of the Caribbean film. Yeah, that about sums it up…have a look! Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End seemed to fall prey to the “trilogy curse” (not to mention the “too big to fail” mentality) and that was pretty disappointing. Well, with this being the start of an all new (supposed) trilogy, On Stranger Tides looks to return to the magic that made The Curse of the Black Pearl so successful. Here’s hoping Rob Marshall can capture Gore Verbinski’s…

    G-S-T Top 10 – Favorite Rain Day Flicks

    “April showers bring May flowers” and a few hours on the couch can certainly help get you through it all. Below is a breezy list of 10 films that don’t usually provide anything more than a diversion when it’s too rainy to go outside and play. This list ain’t all guilty pleasures, these aren’t even bad films. No, most are quite enjoyable on some level or another it’s just that none of them have high replay value or are very memorable. So here are some of my suggestions for something to throw in your DVD/Blu Ray player on rainy days as I find they’re just the ticket to beat the…

    Ohhh, Look…’On Stranger Tides’ Featurette and Images

    This May we’ll see the return of “witty Jack” on another swashbuckling adventure, this time to find the fabled Fountain of Youth.

    Sweet Trailer (& New Screenshots!!)…'Cars 2'

    Well, I know we’ve posted a few trailers of Cars 2 this year but man, each one is just so enjoyable to watch. It’s hard not to consume as much of this content as we do (as I’d like to leave some surprises for the theater) but I can’t help myself…it’s all so awesome looking. For those of you who still can’t get enough teases of McQueen and Mater’s upcoming international adventure, have a look… I’m guessing everyone already knows the plot so how about we jump to these ultra slick looking photos?? (click each one to see the gorgeous ultra hi rez version)

    Ohhh, Look…Toy Story Short "Hawaiian Vacation" Clip

    Last year Toy Story 3 was a huge hit. And by huge I mean it was a billion dollar hit (that’s billions with a B!). Riding high on their success, Buzz, Woody and the Toy Box gang are going to be featured in the next Pixar short which precedes the upcoming Cars 2. In a way it’s fitting that are gong to help usher in the only other Pixar franchise that’s gotten a sequel. But it also seems funny that after taking home the Oscar last month for Best Animated film, our beloved characters are playing second fiddle as the opening band for Lightning McQueen, Mater and the bunch. Anyway…

    Ohhh, Look…New 'Cars 2' Characters

    There’s one automobile related film I’m excited about this year and it ain’t Drive Angry. No, it’s Pixar’s Cars 2 and today we have our first look at 4 of the newest characters which not only look stunning but are backed with some high-profile voice talent.

This is week 8 of the new model reveals and each one really is better looking than the last. Have a look at the next round of Cars 2 characters:

    G-S-T Review…Tron Legacy

    It still boggles my mind that after nearly 30 years anyone would want to go back to a film that has the dual notoriety of being a flop* as well as a cult classic. Something of a black sheep in the Disney family of films Tron, before now, was relatively unknown to most modern audiences. Yet while the original film was ahead of its time but still lacked much of the technology to really do it right, Disney still thought they had something worth exploring. Enter Joseph Kosinski and a budget of over 300 million (production and marketing) and Disney sought out to make a dazzling film for the ages. Not sure they…

    Off the Netflix Queue…'TRON'

    Let’s just get past the fact that I haven’t seen TRON before now. I know, I know, it’s a staple, it’s a classic, it’s a (insert any number of nostalgia driven praises) but I just hadn’t seen it before. So there we are. Now despite seeing some glimpses of it while channel surfing over the years and the references to it in both The Simpsons (sorry couldn’t find the English clip) and  The Family Guy (or this one – also in a foreign language) I was none the wiser to “Flynn’s Arcade” and those awesome “light cycles”. Some would say I was missing out, but I had my own movies to keep my…
