The Monuments Men HD480p 14MB HD720p 63MB
Thriller based on the true story that focuses on an unlikely World War II platoon, tasked by FDR with going into Germany to rescue artistic masterpieces from Nazi thieves and returning them to their rightful owners. It would be an impossible mission: with the art trapped behind enemy lines, and with the German army under orders to destroy everything as the Reich fell, how could these guys - seven museum directors, curators, and art historians (George Clooney, Matt Damon, Bill Murray, Jean Dujardin, Bob Balaban, Hugh Bonneville, John Goodman), all more familiar with Michelangelo than the M-1—possibly hope to succeed? Cate Blanchett is also part of the cast. Clooney also directed and the screenplay is another collaboration of him with Grant Heslov (The Ides of March, Good Night, and Good Luck.)
I'm surely interested. But I have a feeling it won't be easy to find a balance between light-heartened and more serious.
The Counselor HD720p 20MB
Full tailer for the latest movie from Ridley Scott (American Gangster, Blade Runner, Black Rain). It's a thriller with a screenplay written by Cormac McCarthy (No Country for Old Men, The Road) about a present-day Southwest lawyer (Michael Fassbender) who gets in over his head in the drug trade. Cast members also include Brad Pitt, Javier Bardem (with another memorable hair-do), his wife Penélope Cruz and Cameron Diaz.
Still looks very good.
The Hollow Crown HD400p 10MB HD720p 81MB
Short trailer for a four-part miniseries based on the works of William Shakespeare that was already broadcast in the UK last year and will now be shown in the US on PBS starting at the end of September and will also be available on demand starting August 27th.
The films – chronicling a bloody tale of family, politics and power – tell the rise and fall of three Kings and how their destiny shaped English history. Richard II (Ben Whishaw) is a vain, self-indulgent man who rules with little regard for his people's welfare. He is ultimately overthrown by his cousin Bolingbroke (Rory Kinnear), who ascends the throne as Henry IV (Jeremy Irons). Henry IV’s reign is marred by his own guilt over Richard's death, civil war, and the gnawing fear that his son Hal (Tom Hiddleston) is a total wastrel unworthy of the throne. When Hal comes to the throne as Henry V he is left to bury the ghosts of his father's past while fighting both the French forces as well as his own inner demons. Also part of the cast are Patrick Stewart, David Suchet, David Morrissey, Michelle Dockery, Julie Walters and John Hurt.
Diana HD720p 27MB
A full trailer from Australia for this biopic directed by Oliver Hirschbiegel (Downfall, The Invasion, The Experiment). It will take audiences into the private realm of one the world's most iconic and inescapably public women - the Princess of Wales, Diana (Naomi Watts) - in the last two years of her meteoric life. On the occasion of the 16th anniversary of her sudden death, it explores her final rite of passage: a secret love affair with Pakistani heart surgeon Hasnat Khan (Naveen Andrews), the human complications of which reveal the Princess's climactic days in a compelling new light.
Another TV movie about Diana would've been more than enough for me.
Paradise HD480p 27MB HD720p 93MB
"Hilarious tale" of 21-year-old Lamb Mannerheim (Julianne Hough) who, after a nearly fatal accident, is beginning to realise that the world is much bigger than her small, God-fearing Montana town where she lives with her parents (Holly Hunter, Nick Offerman). Armed with a big, fat insurance payout and a checklist (or, let's say, a To Do List) of untried sins, there's only one place for her first taste of temptation ... Las Vegas! Now this wide-eyed, innocent girl will have to navigate the bright lights, seedy bars and dark alleys of “Sin City.” And, with the help of a few new friends (Russell Brand, Octavia Spencer), she just might survive her strange adventure and discover what it means to really live. Directorial debut of Diablo Cody who also wrote the script (Juno, Jennifer's Body, Young Adult). Had the working title Lamb of God.
Looks rather pedestrian, almost "Disney".
