January and February get a bad rap for being the two months when movie studios quietly release films they have little faith in. Well, as you’ll see with Kevin Macdonald’s upcoming Black Sea, the top of the year is not an all out schlockfest. There are some quality gems to be found and, from the looks of the trailers, we’re really hoping that Mortdecai is one of those diamonds in the rough. The film opens next week (moved from the previously announced February date) and we have a new featurette to help celebrate its release. Check out the behind-the-scenes video with the all-star cast, and see what Johnny Depp and company have…

Ohhh, Look…’Mortdecai’ Character Posters
Normally, we don’t put up a post just to feature a poster. But today, we got our hands on something that was too good not to share. Lionsgate certainly knows what kind of movie Mortdecai is, and they are having some real fun with the marketing that’s for sure. The film has an amazing cast, but if you ever found yourself asking, “what would those fine thespians look like were they to sport Johnny Depp’s mustache?, then today is the day you get your answer. Aside from the joke, there’s something genuinely funny about the film (well from the trailer at least). Mordecai (starring Johnny Depp) seems like the best Rowan Atkinson movie not…

Sweet Trailer…’Mortdecai’
In the first quarter of the year, movie theaters are known to have a large number snore inducing titles. Furthermore, these “dump months” are rife with films that studios have very little faith in. Well, that’s not always the case and to prove it today we have a glimpse of a Johnny Depp vehicle that might not only abate but quell the Winter doldrums. Fingers crossed anyway as this looks hilarious! In the film, Depp (who looks to have just as much fun as Jack Sparrow only with better looking facial hair), plays debonair art dealer and part time rogue Charlie Mortdecai. Armed with his good looks and special charm,…

G-S-T Review…Jack The Giant Slayer
There’s so much that’s so wrong with Jack the Giant Slayer that it’s difficult to know where to begin. Once upon a time, Bryan Singer actually made a pair of good movies in the 90s before churning out mediocre superhero movies and historical thrillers in the aughts. Somewhere in that timeline he also fell in with Peter Jackson, but you don’t need to pay attention to history to figure that one out; you just need to watch Jack the Giant Slayer, although I wouldn’t recommend it. Maybe the worst crime here, or at least the hardest to fathom, is that somebody in a boardroom actually thought that the concept of a fantasy reinterpretation…

“The CineMagic 8-Ball” – In Theaters 03/01/13
When so many movies are released each week and trailers often seem better than the movie itself, what should one do? In this precarious situation, we consult the The CineMagic 8-Ball (TM) to help us see through the nebulous marketing haze. Doing so just might save us all a disheartening trip to the cinema and spare us the shelling out for $7 popcorn and ridiculous concession stand prices. See what the 8-Ball says about this week’s releases… ——————————————————————————————————————————————- 21 & OVER Straight-A college student Jeff Chang has always done what he was supposed to do.

G-S-T Review…The Impossible
There’s a line spoken to a young boy in the middle of Juan Antonio Bayona’s film The Impossible that brings a lot of gravity to the events he and his family are currently experiencing. It really captures the theme of the story and comes in a scene where one of Ewan McGregor’s sons talks to a woman as they discuss the stars in the nighttime sky. He’s fond of star gazing (as evidenced by the gift of a new telescope he received for Christmas at the beginning of the film) and in their conversation the woman tells him that some of the stars he’s looking at have been dead for a long…

G-S-T Top 10 – Movies Off The Beaten Path…
Movies, and the entertainment business, can be highly hit or miss because of ranging tastes in film and how people approach the medium. Sometimes, for whatever reason, you hear about a movie and have no desire to see it and don’t. You may even avoid it at all cost. In other cases you have no idea the film exists until someone points it out to you, years after its original release. The following entries on our new series of Top 10 lists are films I happened to stumble upon or that were recommended to me. I watched, despite not knowing much about them or having initial apprehensions toward them for…
