After the Hunt     HD720p 23MB
Intense trailer for the latest movie directed by Luca Guadagnino (Call Me By Your Name, Challengers, Queer). It's a thriller drama in which a college professor (Julia Roberts) finds herself at a personal and professional crossroads when a star pupil (Ayo Edebiri) levels an accusation against one of her colleagues (Andrew Garfield) and a dark secret from her own past threatens to come to light. Chloë Sevigny and Michael Stuhlbarg are also part of the cast.
It's distributed by Amazon MGM Studios, so after a theatrical release in October it will probably start streaming on Prime soon afterwards.

Hoppers     HD720p 22MB
Funny early teaser trailer for the latest animated Pixar movie, to be in theatres next March. Scientists have discovered how to “hop” human consciousness into lifelike robotic animals, allowing people to communicate with animals as animals! Using the new technology, Mabel (Piper Curda) will uncover mysteries within the animal world that are beyond anything she could have imagined. Bobby Moynihan and Jon Hamm will also lend their voices.

Tron: Ares     HD720p 35MB
Full trailer for another sequel. Plot summary reads: A highly sophisticated program, Ares (Jared Leto), is sent from the digital world into the real world on a dangerous mission. Jeff Bridges will return, also part of the cast are Greta Lee, Sarah Desjardins, Gillian Anderson, Evan Peters, Cameron Monaghan and Jodie Turner-Smith. Directed by Joachim Rønning (Young Woman and the Sea, Kon-Tiki, Maleficent: Mistress of Evil).
Starting to look like the average superhero movie.

Dreams     HD1080p 11MB
Trailer from the Czech Republic for the latest uncomfortable drama written and directed by Michel Franco (Sundown, Chronic, Memory). It's about Fernando (Isaac Hernández), a young ballet dancer from Mexico, who dreams of international fame and life in the US. Believing that his lover Jennifer (Jessica Chastain), a socialite and philanthropist, will support him, he leaves everything behind and narrowly escapes death while crossing the border. His arrival, however, disrupts Jennifer’s carefully curated world. She will do anything to protect their future together – and the life she has built for herself. Rupert Friend is also part of the cast.

Predator: Badlands     HD720p 14MB
Alien sci-fi movie set in the future on a remote planet, where a young Predator (Dimitrius Schuster-Koloamatangi), outcast from his clan, finds an unlikely ally in Thia (Elle Fanning) and embarks on a treacherous journey in search of the ultimate adversary. Directed by Dan Trachtenberg (10 Cloverfield Lane, Prey).
What may make this movie interesting (for some) is the fact that the android Thia apparently is created by the Weyland-Yutani bio-weapons division, hinting at another attempt to merge the universes of Predator and Alien.

The trailer for Predator: Badlands looks like a riot. I think maybe I should splurge on a DVD of the Predator prequel "Prey" so I can watch that. Alas the demise of DVD rental stores.

I know little about the "Alien" universe, and nothing about Predator. But I enjoyed the humorous parts of the trailer and that Elle Fanning seems to play such a bad-ass character.

Predator: Badlands was everything I hoped it would be. The perky killer synth was a riot, the extreme deadly ecology was great, and everything else was just icing. I hear that Prey, which is another Predator movie, is also good, so I ordered a copy off eBay. Not all sequels are bad!

I continue to think all those movies aren't for me. But I'm happy to hear that you had a good time.

Ooh Andrew Garfield as a charming predator! *makes a note!*

It's a bit of a contradiction. But I understand that you did want to make note so as to make sure not to miss him. :)

I saw Tron: Ares a few months ago and it was worth it. The fact that not only do I remember that I saw it but that I still remember the story confirms that it was good. Not great, but good. The whole '3D laser printing plus simulations = instant cure for disease and hunger' plot device is a tough pill to swallow, as is the use of eye searing lasers to print or disintegrate tissue at the molecular level without cooking it. I wouldn't see this movie twice.

Thanks for the feedback! Jared Leto is a bit of a hurdle for me to enjoy a movie. :) But I'm curious enough to watch the film eventually.
