It’s so great that we’re continuing to see big films and action stars on the silver screen again. And one of the biggest out there is Liam Neeson. That got us thinking about something: just when did Mr. Neeson become a hard-hitting leading man? Well, off the top of my head, I like to think it was 30 plus years ago with one of the very first (successful) comic styled films playing – he played the lead in Sam Raimi‘s Darkman. But were you to scan his resume, you’d it see goes even further to titles like Next of Kin, The Bounty, Krull and even Excalibur which means that this…

G-S-T Review…Lawless
In his latest film John Hillcoat delivers a fantastic period-piece film based on the book “The Wettest County in the World” (an account of the true-life tales of author Matt Bondurant’s family). Titled simply Lawless this adaptation chronicles the events around the Bondurant family at the pinnacle of their prohibition-era moonshine business and how three Virginia brothers became legends unto themselves. Historically party to and at the center of the infamous “Franklin county moonshine conspiracy” the trio faced opposition on many fronts not just from the authorities but also bigger and similarly illegal outfits. A wild ride for any film fan the events depicted become even more engaging as it’s revealed that their story…

Sweet Trailer…'Prometheus'
We don’t usually post on the weekend but as this is a trailer for one of G-S-T’s three most anticipated films of 2012 (and from SIR Ridley Scott no less) we are happy to bend the rules just a little. For your viewing pleasure, behold, the first FULL trailer for the quasi-Alien prequel Prometheus… When it was first reported that Ridely would be returning to this universe it provoked both cheers and jitters from fans the world over. Most everyone on the planet would undoubtedly love to see the series righted after the recent disappointing and insulting installments. However, going back to the beginning is always worrisome because there’s a chance that, even with Ridely on board,…

Ohhh, Look…'Prometheus' Viral – Guy Pearce As Peter Weyland For TED Talk 2023
To promote Promotheus, Ridley Scott’s prequel/not-a-prequel to 1979’s Alien, comes this really neat introduction and apparent tie-in video (thanks to /Film for the heads up). What you’ll see below is the reveal of Guy Pearce’s character in the upcoming film who, in the words of Sir Ridley, is pretty much the only true link between these two films. The video shows Peter Weyland of the Weyland Corp. That’s right, half of the famous Weyland-Yutani corporate entity. Does the Nostromo ring any bells?? See, told you it was neat…but I’ll let the video do the rest of the explaining. Enjoy!! Check out more of the viral talk at the official TED2023 page. Also, if you…

Sweet Trailer…'Escape From M.S. One' (aka 'Lockout') UPDATED
From Europa Corp and Film District comes the Luc Besson written sci-fi film Escape from MS One (previously known as Lockout); his first other worldly adventure since The Fifth Element. In it, Guy Pearce stars as a wrongly convicted man who is offered freedom if he can rescue the president’s daughter from an outer space prison overrun by the inmates. Quality of the video not withstanding it looks like another high-energy flick that few but Besson can deliver…and in space no less. This is the international trailer which explains the subtitles but it also has some profanity so be advised. Anyway for those of you pining for another Corbin Dallas adventure, sorry this…

G-S-T Quick 5 – Hollywood’s finest working (foreign) actors
I’ve often said that some of the best American actors aren’t even from America. Without much more reasoning, other than I immensely like these actors and the varied parts the play, I present G-S-T’s latest Quick 5 list. Let me clarify, right off the bat, that this list is not some pretentious or whimsical list touting praise for the likes of near acting gods such as Sir Anthony Hopkins, Sir Ben Kingsley, Gary Oldman, Bill Nighy etc. What I am attempting to do here is celebrate great actors (which I love) who may one day reach the heights and milestones those legendary actors have already garnered. So in no particular…

Off the Netflix Queue…'L.A. Confidential'
I would say I am a sucker for anything considered a period piece and set in the American 30s, 40’s and 50’s. There’s just something cool and almost mythical about the way people dressed, spoke and lived. Technology was nothing compared to what we have today but certain things like a radio and TV in every living room were the “hi-tech” and coveted items of that day and age. L.A. Confidential was a film I had been meaning to see but never got around to seeing it before now. I’m a big Russell Crowe and Guy Pearce fan so this seemed like a one, two punch of talented Aussie acting…
