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…Thanks for Sharing
One thing writer/director Stuart Blumberg (The Kids Are Alright) has going for him in his directorial debut, Thanks for Sharing, is that the subject matter on which the film is centered, sex addiction, is something seldom explored. Steve McQueen’s bold but brilliant film Shame – released last year with an NC-17 rating – dealt with it, but the approach and tone between the two are so different it wouldn’t really be fair to hold the two films in comparison. Thanks for Sharing is a romantic comedy based around three main characters and their lives dealing with sex addiction. The three men are all part of the same sex addicts anonymous group,…

G-S-T Review…Iron Man 3
While we film fans, die hard comic aficionados and non, can thank Jon Favreau (and Robert Downey Jr.) for bringing Iron Man to life in an entirely fulfilling and believable way. That said, there were more than a few problems with its formulaic sequel. So, sometimes, it’s necessary to bring some fresh legs into the game to help the series go out with a win. For those of you not sure who Shane Black is, check out Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, The Monster Squad, The Last Boy Scout and of course Lethal Weapon…we’ll wait. There’s a common set of themes running though all his movies and without sounding like it’s…

Sweet Trailer…'Contagion'
Out of relatively nowhere comes Steven Soderbergh’s sci-fi thriller Contagion. Similar in tone to 28 Days Later (just sans the Zed heads) this film shows what happens to society in the face of fear. Hmmm, I though Soderbergh was done with Hollywood and planning to retire if he “saw one more over the shoulder shot“. Ah well a filmmaker as good as he he can never really leave the game can he? And thank God for that, right? So before you have a look, let me warn you that this trailer is totally spoiler-heavy and gives us more than probably should be reveald in the very first trailer. So choose…

G-S-T Review…Iron Man 2
I saw Iron Man 2 this Saturday and it has taken me a few days to collect my thoughts. The reason for the delay is that I didn’t want the glee of seeing this year’s eagerly awaited big comic book behemoth to keep me from giving a fair assessment. Well all that well-intentioned crap aside, I really enjoyed this sequel. Being that it was a follow-up to an equally successful film, this got the green light to go big, and so it did. PREMISE: Billionaire Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.), his identity no longer concealed from the world, faces pressure from the government, the press, and the public and receives tension and backlash…
