Snowpiercer HD720p 29MB
A first trailer for the English-language debut of Korean director Bong Joon-ho (The Host, Memories of Murder, Mother). It is based on a French graphic novel which is set in a future where, after a failed experiment to stop global warming, an Ice Age kills off all life on the planet except for the inhabitants of the Snow Piercer, a train that travels around the globe and is powered by a sacred perpetual-motion engine. A class system evolves on the train but a revolution brews. Remarkable cast consists of Chris Evans, Tilda Swinton, Song Kangho, Jamie Bell, Octavia Spencer, Ewen Bremner, Alison Pill, John Hurt and Ed Harris.
The Spectacular Now HD480p 18MB HD720p 84MB
Romantic coming-of-age drama with comedic elements that tells the tale of a high school senior and effortless charmer (Miles Teller), and of how he unexpectedly falls in love with "the good girl" (Shailene Woodley). What starts as an unlikely romance becomes a sharp-eyed, straight-up snapshot of the heady confusion and haunting passion of youth - one that doesn't look for tidy truths. Also part of the cast are Brie Larson, Kyle Chandler and Jennifer Jason Leigh. Directed by James Ponsoldt (Smashed), screenplay adapted by the two guys who wrote (500) Days of Summer.
Looks nice, and was very well-received at festivals.
Drug War - Du zhan HD480p 16MB HD720p 75MB
Crime thriller from China directed by Johnnie To (Running Out of Time, Election, PTU). Manufacturing just fifty grams of meth in China will earn you a death sentence, and Timmy Choi (Louis Koo) has manufactured tons of it. After a violent lab accident, he's in the custody of Captain Zhang (Sun Honglei), and now he has only one chance to avoid execution: turn informant and help Zhang's undercover team take down the powerful cartel he's been cooking for. With the uneasy allies forced to compress months of police work into just 72 sleepless hours, things begin to spin wildly out of control.
No-nonsense thriller without any superfluous dialogue (think Michael Mann).
Delivery Man HD480p 42MB HD720p 105MB
Comedy about an affable underachiever (Vince Vaughn) whose mundane life is turned upside down when he finds out that he fathered 533 children through sperm donations he made twenty years earlier. In debt to the mob, rejected by his pregnant girlfriend (Cobie Smulders), things couldn't look worse for him when he is hit with a lawsuit from 142 of the 533 twenty-somethings who want to know the identity of the donor. As he struggles to decide whether or not he should reveal his true identity, with the help of a friend (Chris Pratt), he embarks on a journey that leads him to discover not only his true self but the father he could become as well.
Remake of the Canadian movie Starbuck, again directed by Ken Scott. It's probably a fun movie if you're a fan of Vaughn. And if not, the trailer generously provides a short version of the whole movie.
