Parkland HD480p 27MB HD720p 53MB
Drama that recounts the chaotic events that occurred in Dallas, Texas on November 22, 1963. It weaves together the perspectives of a handful of ordinary individuals suddenly thrust into extraordinary circumstances: the young doctors and nurses at Parkland Hospital; Dallas' chief of the Secret Service; an unwitting cameraman who captured what became the most watched and examined film in history; the FBI agents who nearly had the gunman within their grasp; the brother of Lee Harvey Oswald, left to deal with his shattered family; and JFK's security team, witnesses to both the president's death and Vice President Lyndon Johnson's rise to power over a nation whose innocence was forever altered. Cast members include Billy Bob Thornton, Paul Giamatti, Zac Efron, Marcia Gay Harden, Jacki Weaver, James Badge Dale, Jackie Earle Haley, Colin Hanks, David Harbour, Ron Livingston and Tom Welling.
Wadjda US HD720p 24MB UK HD720p 28MB
Feelgood coming-of-age drama from Saudi Arabia. It's written and directed by the country's first female filmmaker, Haifaa Al-Mansour. It's about a 10-year-old girl living in a suburb of Riyadh. Although she lives in a conservative world, Wadjda is fun loving, entrepreneurial and always pushing the boundaries of what she can get away with. She sees a beautiful green bicycle for sale that she wants desperately so she can race her friend, Abdullah. But her mother won't allow it, fearing repercussions from a society that sees bicycles as dangerous to a girl's virtue. So she decides to try and raise the money herself.
You can choose between the US and the UK trailer version, I recommend the latter.
Pompeii HD480p 19MB HD720p 37MB
Teaser for this action adventure set in 79 A.D. that tells the epic story of Milo (Kit Harington), a slave turned invincible gladiator who finds himself in a race against time to save his true love Cassia (Emily Browning), the beautiful daughter of a wealthy merchant who has been unwillingly betrothed to a corrupt Roman Senator (Kiefer Sutherland). As Mount Vesuvius erupts in a torrent of blazing lava, he must fight his way out of the arena in order to save his beloved as the once magnificent Pompeii crumbles around him. Also part of the cast are Jared Harris, Carrie-Anne Moss, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje, Paz Vega and Jessica Lucas. Directed by Paul W.S. Anderson (Resident Evil, Alien vs. Predator, The Three Musketeers).
Looks very apocalyptic, but so far there are surprisingly few zombies.
Unforgiven - Yurusarezaru mono HD720p 28MB
Subtitled trailer for a Japanese version of Clint Eastwood's classic western Unforgiven which gets transposed to Meiji-period Japan. Jubei Kamata (Ken Watanabe) is a widowed father and infamous former swordsman who spends his days tending a struggling farm. His commitment to pastoral tranquility is tested when an old comrade in arms brings news of a bounty substantial enough to secure his children's future: the prostitutes of a neighbouring village have pledged 1,000 yen for the lives of the bandits who mutilated one of their own.
Afternoon Delight HD480p 15MB HD720p 26MB
Drama with comedic elements that tells the story of a stay-at-home mom (Kathryn Hahn) who becomes obsessed with saving a stripper named McKenna (Juno Temple). She is a quick-witted and lovable, yet tightly coiled, thirty-something steeped in the creative class of Los Angeles' bohemian, affluent Silver Lake neighborhood. Everything looks just right—chic modernist home, successful husband, adorable child, hipster wardrobe. But when she visits a strip club to spice up her marriage and gets a private dance from McKenna, something cracks open. Also part of the cat are Jane Lynch and Josh Radnor.
Trailer doesn't look that bad. But the movie got a few unfavourable reviews from festivals.
