Marty Supreme     HD720p 24MB
Trailer for the latest movie directed by Josh Safdie one of the Safdie brothers (Uncut Gems, Good Time with his brother Benny). It's an A24 production, which means there's no meaningful summary available. Only the general tagline says: Marty Mauser (Timothée Chalamet), a young man with a dream no one respects, goes to hell and back in pursuit of greatness. By that sentence you probably wouldn't have guessed it, it's about a ping-pong player with the story losely based on Marty Reisman. Gwyneth Paltrow, Odessa A'zion, Kevin O'Leary, Tyler Okonma and Fran Drescher are also part of the cast.

Dead of Winter     HD720p 32MB
Tense crime thriller about a grief-stricken loner (Emma Thompson), who, after being hit by a blizzard, gets lost among backroads near a Minnesotan lake and stops for help at a remote cabin in the woods. Here she discovers a young woman (Laurel Marsden) kidnapped by a desperate couple (Judy Greer, Marc Menchaca) who are armed and intent on murder. Isolated and without cell service, this unlikely hero realizes she is the woman’s only hope of survival.
I'm not entirely sold, but Thompson is always worth watching and festival reviews are mostly very favourable.

The Last Viking - Den Sidste Viking     HD1080p 26MB
Dark, comedic drama from Denmark written and directed by Anders Thomas Jensen (Riders of Justice, The Green Butchers, Men & Chicken). Brothers Anker (Nikolaj Lie Kaas) and Manfred (Mads Mikkelsen), who are reunited after Anker’s years-long jail stint for a bank robbery. Since Manfred is the only one who knows where the loot is buried, Anker has no choice but to contend not only with his brother’s many psychological issues but the legacy of the traumas they suffered in their childhood. Sofie Gråbøl and Søren Malling are also part of the cast.
When these top Danish actors get together they always seem to have a hell of a good time.

Steve     HD720p 26MB
Intense drama set in the mid-90s that follows a pivotal day in the life of headteacher Steve (Cillian Murphy) and his students at a last-chance reform school amidst a world that has forsaken them. As he fights to protect the school’s integrity and impending closure, we witness him grappling with his own mental health. In parallel to his struggles, we meet Shy (Jay Lycurgo), a troubled teen caught between his past and what lies ahead as he tries to reconcile his inner fragility with his impulse for self-destruction and violence. Tracey Ullman and Emily Watson are also part of the cast. Directed by Tim Mielants (Small Things Like These, Patrick), based on a novel by Max Porter.
After a brief theatrical run, will start streaming on Netflix October 3rd.

Ella McCay     HD720p 35MB
Comedic drama about an idealistic young woman (Emma Mackey) who juggles her family and work life in this movie about the people you love and how to survive them. Jamie Lee Curtis, Jack Lowden, Kumail Nanjiani, Ayo Edebiri, Rebecca Hall, Julie Kavner, Albert Brooks and Woody Harrelson are also part of the cast. Written and directed by James L. Brooks (As Good as It Gets, Terms of Endearment, Spanglish), who's now 85.
At least in the trailer Ella McCay mainly seems to be a passive prop.

I saw a clip from The Last Viking earlier this morning

And it was the scene in the kitchen where the gal punches Mads and then shortly after - Mads just jumps through a window because of his name issue (which wasn't made apparent in the scene). She punches him because he keeps talking about how ugly her husband is.
The fluidity with which he dives through that window shows he hasn't lost his touch from his professional dance company days.

It sure looks like he does the jump himself. Though the way he lowers his head and obscures his face just before he starts to jump leaves open the possibility that maybe some (digital) "trickery" is going on. Maybe we'll hear about the jump during promotional interviews.
