Thriller set within the world of global cybercrime, the movie follows a furloughed convict (Chris Hemsworth) and his American (Viola Davis) and Chinese (Tang Wei) partners as they hunt a high-level cybercrime network from Chicago to Los Angeles to Hong Kong to Jakarta. Directed by Michael Mann (Heat, Miami Vice, The Insider).
I don't say I'm not interested, but it looks a bit like a "best of" of previous Mann movies. And I feel obliged to point out that the movie's set for a world-wide release in January.

Second trailer for another big screen adaptation of another slight variation of a typical graphic novel by Mark Millar (Wanted, Kick-Ass). It tells the story of a super-secret spy organization (Colin Firth, Michael Caine, Mark Strong) that recruits an unrefined but promising street kid into the agency's ultra-competitive training program just as a global threat emerges from a twisted tech genius. Samuel L. Jackson is also part of the cast. Directed by Matthew Vaughn (Kick-Ass, X-Men: First Class, Layer Cake).
Very likable grown-up cast. Though I dare you not to laugh at the face CGI at the 2:27 mark.
The Tale of the Princess Kaguya - Kaguyahime no monogatari HD720p 77MB
Hand-drawn animated movie from Japan based on a famous folktale, directed by the other co-founder of Studio Ghibli, Isao Takahata. Found inside a shining stalk of bamboo by an old bamboo cutter (James Caan) and his wife (Mary Steenburgen), a tiny girl grows rapidly into an exquisite young lady (Chloë Grace Moretz). The mysterious young princess enthralls all who encounter her – but ultimately she must confront her fate, the punishment for her crime.
Much different from what is produced by the Hollywood studios. Trailer features the English voice cast.

Speaking of, the second full trailer for this animated action adventure comedy from Disney inspired by the Marvel comics. It's about brilliant robotics prodigy Hiro Hamada, who finds himself in the grips of a criminal plot that threatens to destroy the fast-paced, high-tech city of San Fransokyo. With the help of his closest companion - a robot named Baymax - Hiro joins forces with a reluctant team of first-time crime fighters on a mission to save their city. Voices are provided by Ryan Potter, Scott Adsit, T.J. Miller, Jamie Chung, Damon Wayans Jr., Genesis Rodriguez, Maya Rudolph, James Cromwell and Alan Tudyk.
Phoenix HD720p 15MB
Drama from Germany directed by Christian Petzold (Barbara, Yella, Jerichow). Emerging from a concentration camp at the end of World War II, a woman (Nina Hoss) undergoes significant reconstructive surgery to repair a serious facial injury caused by a bullet wound. She wants everything to be exactly the way it was before the war - including her appearance - but it isn't. Presumed dead by her friends and relatives, fixated on the memories of her former life and unable to accept the shattered reality before her, she returns to Berlin to fulfil the dream that sustained her throughout her imprisonment: reuniting with her husband (Ronald Zehrfeld). But even as she scours the ravaged city to find him, she is haunted by terrible, whispered rumours: that it was him who betrayed her to the Nazis.
Was very well received in Toronto, paying homage to Douglas Sirk melodramas and Hitchcock.
