Ohhh, Look…The Dean of 'Monsters University' Welcomes You
Earlier this week we were treated to the UK trailer for Pixar‘s upcoming Monsters University. We also got a small batch of see hi-rez images and posters to oogle over and things continually look to be shaping up nicely for this prequel to Pete Docter’s monster hit (pun intended!). Well continuing their world building, by way of the fun viral website that was launched a few months back, today we get a very special message from the Dean of Monsters University. If you’re interested in matriculating at MU and going from great students to great scarers, then this message is for YOU! Monsters University is directed by Dan Scanlon and stars Billy Crystal and John Goodman (and even Steve Buscemi) who are returning…

Ohhh, Look…'Iron Man 3' Poster Shows Don Cheadle As The Iron Patriot
After yesterday’s sneak peek at the Iron Man 3 poster, Disney has just unveiled the latest bit of marketing for their upcoming super-hero film. Not like it was any mystery that Don Cheadle (playing Lt. Col. James Rhodes) would be wearing the “Iron Patriot” armor in this film, but this poster is still neat to look at. So now that the cat, er Cheadle is fully out of the bag, let’s just skip to the good stuff… We really hope the “teaser for movie posters” concept Disney pulled yesterday doesn’t take off. The teaser for teaser trailer trend was pushing it. But anyway, we are where we are and regardless of the…

Ohhh, Look…New Teaser Poster for 'RED 2'
Bruce Willis is already going to be in two movies this year, why not make it three? After he runs and guns through the cold streets of Mother Russia this month he’ll be getting down and dirty with the Joes in March. Then, later this Summer, he’ll show us that he (and most of the returning cast) is still retired and still extremely dangerous. To get us excited, Summit has released a new poster for the upcoming sequel RED 2. Have a look. Oh, and hope you like red, there’s a lot of it…Enjoy! In RED 2, the high-octane action-comedy sequel to the worldwide sleeper hit, retired black-ops CIA agent Frank Moses…

Ohhh, Look…New Stills From 'The World's End' and 'Jack Ryan'
This time of year we film fans usually do three things without fail – shake off the Winter cold, brave the hit and miss “dump” titles from all the major studios, and get ready for the most anticipated titles in the coming months. Well you’re on your own with the first two but we can help you out with the latter. We’ve already got delightful chills and smiles thanks to the impressive looking stills from Man of Steel, Kick-Ass 2 and The Wolverine but now here’s just a little more eye candy. First up is The World’s End, which stars co-writer and director Edgar Wright’ s usual suspects Simon Pegg, Nick Frost and Martin Freeman who are joined Paddy…

Ohhh, Look…John Kahrs' Oscar-Nominated Animated Short 'Paperman' On-Line NOW!!
Apon seeing it for the first time last September, when it was shown at Fantastic Fest of all places, I became a HUGE fan of John Kahrs’ animated short film Paperman. It’s an incredibly sweet, heart-warming short and a throw back to the days of classic Disney animation. Yet what makes Kahrs’ short so unique is that it’s the first project to use this groundbreaking new computer technology. Likened, roughly to rotoscoping, the animators are able to wrap a 2D image/sketch around a dynamic 3D frame giving each pencil stroke and texture incredible depth and a free flowing look. In short, lines stretch and bend organically retaining the character of the animator’s…

Ohhh, Look…Theatrical Poster For Cianfrance's 'The Place Beyond the Pines'
Derek Cianfrance’s Blue Valentine was not an easy film to get through. That affecting anti-romantic story was a devastating look at love and loss and couldn’t have felt any more uncomfortable or real if they tired. His follow up The Place Beyond the Pines, similarly starring Ryan Gosling, got a lot of buzz at the Toronto Film Festival last year and we have to say that the trailer looked impressive. Well the first official poster has been released and it sports the gritty tone of Cianfrance’s film. Have a look… This multi-generational film follows motorcycle stunt rider (Gosling) who turns to robbing banks as a way to provide for his lover (Mendes) and their newborn…

Ohhh, Look…Watch Full 'Victory's Glory' Skit From 'Movie 43'
Take the headline as more of a suggestion than a command. Truthfully, this clip says a lot more about Movie 43— the everything-but-the-kitchen-sink ensemble sketch comedy film hitting theaters this Friday– as a whole than meets the eye, though it also gives away a significant spoiler: the ‘Victory’s Glory’ segment really isn’t all that funny. In fact, if you’ve seen any of the trailers for the film, then you’ve already seen this bit’s best moments. Meanwhile, rest of the scene just tries to recycle its most effective beats over and over again for five minutes. I grant that this is just one minuscule chunk of an hour and a half…

Ohhh, Look…Teaser Posters For Studio Ghibli's Upcoming Features
It’s no secret that we at G-S-T adore the famous animation powerhouse that Hayao Miyazaki, Isao Takahata and Toshio Suzuki built. In fact, I should say ジブリさん愛. Anyway if you, like us, can’t get enough from those animation Gods, then we have FANTASTIC news for you. Both Miyazaki-san and Takahata-san are at the helm for the two upcoming features from Studio Ghibli. I thought 2013 was going to be awesome enough and now we get a pair of Ghibli features too?? The only thing that could make this better is if Joe Hisaishi will again be scoring…*gets handed a small post-it note from the producer*…what’s this? *reads with wide eyes* Good news everyone! Hisaishi will be…

Ohhh, Look…Awesome Super Hero Silhouette Artwork
This week we see the Blu-Ray release of the final chapter in Christopher Nolan’s Batman trilogy. 2012 has been a really great year for comics/super hero films. While The Avengers, The Dark Knight Rises won over fans worldwide and joined the billionaire’s club, that Marvel reboot of questionable necessity (aka The Amazing Spider-Man) was no slouch either. So now that the box office battle is over, we fans can return to waiting for the next installment of our favorite franchises (sorry Nolan Batman fans, doesn’t look like we’ll see Bale take up the cowl again) and, if it suits your fancy, dressing up like your favorite heroes. Well even if you don’t do the latter, the kid…
