Great Expectations 480p 22MB 720p 36MB
UK trailer for the latest adaptation of Charles Dickens' book, directed by Mike Newell (Love in the Time of Cholera, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, Four Weddings and a Funeral). Young orphan Pip (Jeremy Irvine) is given a chance to rise from his humble beginnings thanks to a mysterious benefactor. Moving through London's class ridden world as a gentleman, he uses his new found position to pursue the beautiful Estella (Holliday Grainger); a spoilt heiress he's loved since childhood. Yet the shocking truth behind his great fortune will have devastating consequences for everything he holds dear. Helena Bonham Carter, Ralph Fiennes, Jason Flemyng, Robbie Coltrane, and Ewen Bremner.
Festival reviews mostly characterise it as faithful but also a bit boring.
Quartet HD480p 23MB HD720p 46MB
Comedic drama that marks the directing debut of by Dustin Hoffman. It tells the story of Reggie (Tom Courtenay), Wilf (Billy Connolly) and Cissy (Pauline Collins) who reside in Beecham House, a home for retired opera singers. Each year they stage a concert to celebrate Verdi's birthday, which also raises funds for the home. Reggie's ex-wife (Maggie Smith) arrives at the home and creates tension, playing the diva part but refusing to sing in the concert. Michael Gambon and Sheridan Smith round up the cast.
The Big Picture - L'Homme qui voulait vivre sa vie 480p 18MB 720p 30MB
For the friends of Patricia Highsmith's The Talented Mr. Ripley, a late, limited US release of this thriller drama about a handsome and successful thirty-something Parisian corporate lawyer (Romain Duris) with a beautiful wife, two children, and a glimmering future as a partner in the firm he co-owns with his mentor (Catherine Deneuve). But behind this deceptively perfect bourgeois façade lies a desire for creative fulfillment, a restless spirit who despises his conformist life and envies the freedom of his neighbour Greg, an uncompromising photojournalist. Greg's unexpected death throws his life into chaos, and he makes a startling decision. Embarking on a cross-continent odyssey of self-discovery and reinvention, he experiences what many have wondered at some point in life: is it possible to become someone else?
You can watch the slightly different hi-def US trailer version here.
Safe Haven HD480p 43MB HD720p 78MB
Romantic drama directed by Lasse Hallström (Dear John, Chocolat, The Shipping News) based on a Nicholas Sparks novel. I guess I could stop right there because you already know the rest. But here's the official summary: When a mysterious young woman (Julianne Hough) arrives in a small North Carolina town, her reluctance to join the tight knit community raises questions about her past. Slowly, she begins putting down roots, and gains the courage to start a relationship with a widowed store owner (Josh Duhamel) with two young children. But dark secrets intrude on her new life with such terror that she is forced to rediscover the meaning of sacrifice and rely on the power of love. Cobie Smulders is also part of the cast.
A Good Day to Die Hard HD480p 22MB HD720p 69MB
A little longer than the previous teaser but still mainly consisting of things blowing up plus a few choice bits of dialogue. This time John McClane faces his greatest challenge ever, on an international stage, when his estranged son (Jai Courtney) is caught up in the daring prison escape of a rogue Russian leader, and father and son McClane must work together to keep each other alive and keep the world safe for ... democracy. Among the cast members (confirmed or rumoured) are Sebastian Koch, Cole Hauser, Megalyn Echikunwoke and Aksel Hennie. Directed by John Moore (Max Payne, Behind Enemy Lines, The Omen).
