G-S-T Review…What to Expect When You’re Expecting
What to Expect When You’re Expecting was inspired by the New York Times bestseller with the same title. While the book is a guide to help women understand what to expect during pregnancy, the movie is a hilarious and heartwarming comedy. The movie follows five couples whose lives are dramatically changed by the challenges of preparing for parenthood. This movie boasts an ensemble cast, which doesn’t always equate to box office success. Keep reading to find out what you can expect from What to Expect When You’re Expecting.

G-S-T Review…The Hunger Games
Film fans have seen various visions of dystopia and its many hypothesized forms for decades. From Brazil to Equilibrium, from Logan’s Run to The Running Man, there’s no shortage of dismal looking futures. Yet as bleak as those titles paint their depicted worlds, The Hunger Games lets us know that hope and heart are still part of the human condition. But very much like our own society the aftermath still yields the ‘haves‘ and ‘have nots‘. In The Hunger Games the socioeconomic divides between The Capitol and The Districts are likened to the serf system of the medieval times. Yet the class split is much closer to home than some may realize. The next…

Sweet TV Spot…'The Hunger Games'
This awesome 60 second TV spot for The Hunger Games has debuted and man does it get the job done. I’m oddly more excited for this than The Avengers. Wow, talk about a way to end the week…until Prometheus hits tomorrow that is. Anyway, this trailer gives us the most footage of that lavishly cold world we’ve seen yet. No more words…just watch (fyi, headphones are highly encouraged). So far The Hunger Games is getting GREAT word of mouth buzz and the early reviews are sporting pretty high praise. I’ll be checking out a screening on Monday so I’m super stoked for that. The embargo lifts on Tuesday the 20th…

Sweet (2nd) Trailer…'The Hunger Games'
Today we’re treated to the second trailer for the adaptation of Suzanne Collins‘ best selling novel (the first in a series of 4 planned films from her 3 books). While the teaser didn’t do much but confuse, the first official trailer was infinitely more satisfying. From Yahoo, we have a shorter but deeper look into this bizarrely exquisite futuristic tale in which “a nationally televised event in which ‘Tributes’ must fight with one another until one survivor remains“. Kind of looks like a mix of The Running Man, Logan’s Run and Harry Potter for the young adult set…but maybe that’s just me since I’ve never read the books. Anyway, have a look. The Hunger Games stars Jennifer…

G-S-T Review…Man On A Ledge
Editor’s Note: Go,See,Talk presents this review of Man On A Ledge from our guest contributing writer Bill Graham. Have a look at what he had to say about the Sam Worthington led crime thriller and offer your thoughts below. A talented cast does not always equal out to a quality film. While Sam Worthington defiantly clings to the side of a building with threats of suicide, his plight to be found innocent is mostly hollow. Sometimes the withholding of information from an audience can have a great payoff. Then there is Man On A Ledge. Director Asger Leth seems content to hold most of his cards just out of the audience’s reach. That…
