Nocturnal Animals HD720p 19MB
Stylish psychological thriller directed by Tom Ford (A Single Man) that "explores the thin lines between love and cruelty, and revenge and redemption". Susan (Amy Adams) is a successful Los Angeles art-gallery owner who wants for very little, yet she finds her paradise troubled by the frequent absences of her second husband (Armie Hammer), due to his incessant travelling. She is rattled further when a manuscript arrives on her desk, written by her long-estranged first husband (Jake Gyllenhaal). Alone, with her current husband away in New York, Susan opens the manuscript and is propelled into the fictional life of a teacher (also Gyllenhaal) whose drive to his summer house with his family is about to turn into a nightmare. Michael Shannon, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Isla Fisher, Karl Glusman, Andrea Riseborough and Laura Linney are also part of the cast.
Intriguing, but also a bit complicated. In a good way, according to the many positive festival reviews. Though also a bit violent at times.
Miss Sloane HD720p 13MB
Teaser for this thriller about a ruthless lobbyist (Jessica Chastain) who is notorious for her unparalleled talent and her desire to win at all costs, even when it puts her own career at risk. It pulls back the curtain on how Capitol Hill games are played and won as she faces off against the most influential powers in D.C. Mark Strong, Michael Stuhlbarg, Gugu Mbatha-Raw, Alison Pill, Jake Lacy, Sam Waterston and John Lithgow are also part of the cast. Directed by John Madden (Shakespeare in Love, The Debt, The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel).
Francis Underwood, meet the competition.
Fifty Shades Darker HD720p 37MB
First trailer for the second movie based on the books by E.L. James. When a wounded Christian Grey (Jamie Dornan) tries to entice a cautious Ana Steele (Dakota Johnson) back into his life, she demands a new arrangement before she will give him another chance. As the two begin to build trust and find stability, shadowy figures from Christian’s past start to circle the couple, determined to destroy their hopes for a future together. Marcia Gay Harden, Jennifer Ehle, Luke Grimes, Rita Ora and Max Martini also return. New cast additions are Kim Basinger, Hugh Dancy, Bella Heathcote and Tyler Hoechlin. Directed by James Foley (Glengarry Glen Ross, Confidence, Perfect Stranger).
I almost had forgotten that this series exists. But it looks like I'm the only one since apparently the trailer just overtook 'The Force Awakens' as the most watched one after the first 24 hours of its release. Happy Valentine's Day!
