Killers of the Flower Moon, MI - Dead Reckoning, The Creator, Flamin' Hot, The Night of the 12th

Killers of the Flower Moon     HD720p 26MB
First trailer for the latest movie directed by Martin Scorsese (Goodfellas, The Departed, Casino). It's a crime drama set in 1920s Oklahoma and depicts the serial murder of members of the oil-wealthy Osage Nation, a string of brutal crimes that came to be known as the Reign of Terror. Cast members include Leonardo DiCaprio, Robert De Niro, Lily Gladstone, Jesse Plemons and Brendan Fraser.
Will premiere these days out-of-competition in Cannes, then have a theatrical release in October, and will probably start streaming soon thereafter on AppleTV. It has a running time of over three hours.

Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part One     HD720p 97MB   HD1080p 163MB
One year after the first trailer came out, a second one for the seventh entry in the long-running Mission: Impossible franchise, to be in theatre in July. The usual generic plot summary reads: Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise) and his IMF team have to track down a terrifying new weapon that threatens all of humanity before it falls into the wrong hands. Ving Rhames, Simon Pegg, Rebecca Ferguson and also Vanessa Kirby return. New cast additions are Esai Morales, Hayley Atwell, Pom Klementieff, Shea Whigham and Cary Elwes. Again directed by Christopher McQuarrie.
While I fear that the rising use of visible CGI and the need to create ever more outrageous action scenes increasingly puts the Mission Impossible films at risk, I still prefer this hand-made action franchise until the Bond movies tone down the family drama.

The Creator     HD720p 97MB
sci-fi action thriller in which, amidst a future war between the human race and the forces of artificial intelligence, a hardened ex-special forces agent (John David Washington) grieving the disappearance of his wife (Gemma Chan), is recruited to hunt down and kill the Creator, the elusive architect of advanced AI who has developed a mysterious weapon with the power to end the war… and mankind itself. He and his team of elite operatives journey across enemy lines, into the dark heart of AI-occupied territory. Ken Watanabe, Allison Janney and Ralph Ineson are also part of the cast. Directed by Gareth Edwards (Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, Godzilla, Monsters).
Will presumably not further the conversation about AI. But that's probably not its intention anyway.

Flamin' Hot     HD720p 33MB
Comedic drama loosely based on real events. It tells the inspiring story of Richard Montañez (Jesse Garcia), the Frito Lay janitor who channeled his Mexican American heritage and upbringing to turn the iconic Flamin’ Hot Cheetos into a snack that disrupted the food industry and became a global pop culture phenomenon. Annie Gonzalez, Dennis Haysbert, Tony Shalhoub and Matt Walsh are also part of the cast. Marks the feature film directing debut of Eva Longoria.
Even though the story is apparently mostly not true, the movie still looks entertaining and was well received at festivals. Depending on which continent you live, will start streaming on Hulu and Disney+ June 9th.

The Night of the 12th - La nuit du 12     HD720p 66MB
Crime drama from France inspired by a true story. In nearly every police precinct, detectives are inevitably confronted with a case that goes unsolved. The more heinous the crime, the more it haunts those whose duty it is solve it. Such is the dilemma for Yohan Vivès - a young, recently promoted police Captain - when he begins investigating the gruesome murder of a young women in the town of Grenoble. It's clear that the attack was pre-meditated, and the violent nature of the crime suggests revenge. His team methodically digs through the details of her life, uncovering her secrets in hopes of weeding out the killer.
For those who like their crime dramas dark and unnerving. Won seven Césars in France earlier this year, among them the ones for best film, best director and best screenplay. Now in limited release in the US.
