No Other Choice - Eojjeolsuga Eobsda     HD1080p 23MB
Full trailer for the latest movie directed by Park Chan-wook (Oldboy, Stoker, The Handmaiden). It's a darkly comic satire about a man (Lee Byung-hun) who is abruptly laid off by the paper company where he has worked tirelessly for many years. Soon he's falling behind on his mortgage payments and his wife (Son Ye-jin) insists they put the house up for sale. He's desperate to scoop a coveted position, but he knows there are other job seekers who match his pedigree. So he hatches a plan to eliminate the competition.
Looks very promising.

Mercy     HD720p 39MB
Sci-fi action thriller set in the near future, in which a detective (Chris Pratt) stands on trial accused of murdering his wife (Annabelle Wallis). He has 90 minutes to prove his innocence to the advanced A.I. Judge (Rebecca Ferguson) he once championed, before it determines his fate. Directed by Timur Bekmambetov (Wanted, Night Watch, Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter).
Seems to unnecessarily give away some spoilerish information towards the end. If you would like to avoid, stop watching at the 2:30 mark.

Die My Love     HD1080p 25MB
Intense thriller drama that tells the story of Grace (Jennifer Lawrence) and Jackson (Robert Pattinson), who move from New York City to rural Montana. As they adjust to their new surroundings and welcome their first child, they are confronted with the complications of postnatal depression, the isolation of their new environment, and their unhappy marriage. Sissy Spacek, Nick Nolte and LaKeith Stanfield are also part of the cast. Directed by Lynne Ramsay (We Need to Talk About Kevin, You Were Never Really Here).
Festival reviews are mostly favourable, but it's obviously not an easy watch.

Nuremberg     HD1080p 27MB
Historical drama that chronicles the events that brought the Nazi high command to justice in the wake of World War II. The Allies, led by the unyielding chief prosecutor, Robert H. Jackson (Michael Shannon), have the task of ensuring the Nazi regime answers for the unveiled horrors of the Holocaust while a US Army psychiatrist (Rami Malek) is locked in a dramatic psychological duel with former Reichsmarschall Herman Göring (Russell Crowe). Richard E. Grant, Colin Hanks, Leo Woodall, John Slattery and Lotte Verbeek are also part of the cast.
I appreciate the reminder that political and military leaders can be held responsible for their crimes if the will exists, this feels a bit too much like a Hollywood movie that doesn't do the historical events justice.

Avatar: Fire and Ash     HD720p 38MB
A second trailer for the third installment of the 3D CGI franchise, listed to have a running time of 3h 12m, to be in theatres this Christmas, again directed by James Cameron (Titanic, True Lies, The Terminator). Jake (Sam Worthington) and Neytiri (Zoe Saldaña)'s family grapples with grief after Neteyam's death, encountering a new, aggressive Na'vi tribe, the Ash People, who are led by the fiery Varang (Oona Chaplin), as the conflict on Pandora escalates and a new moral focus emerges. Sigourney Weaver, Stephen Lang, Kate Winslet, Jemaine Clement and Cliff Curtis also return.

Mercy somehow manages to look cheap and not very well made. Despite probably costing a fortune. It already looks like it would have been better as a 30 minute Twilight Zone episode shot with two actors in a closed room. But maybe I'm wrong. (Shame, Timur Bekmambetov's work on Night Watch was amazing)

I loved We Need To Talk About Kevin (both film and book). Die My Love looks similarly well made, and it's great to see movie stars acting.

Nuremberg looks hypnotising, and like the kind of thing I can watch. I shall look forward to it.

(Avatar is still an advert for a graphics card)
