Dumbo HD720p 52MB
First teaser trailer for the Disney live-action version, directed by Tim Burton (Alice in Wonderland, Sleepy Hollow, Big Fish), to be in theatres next March. Circus owner Max Medici (Danny DeVito) enlists former star Holt Farrier (Colin Farrell) and his children to care for a newborn elephant whose oversized ears make him a laughingstock in an already struggling circus. But when they discover that Dumbo can fly, the circus makes an incredible comeback, attracting persuasive entrepreneur V.A. Vandevere (Michael Keaton), who recruits the peculiar pachyderm for his newest, larger-than-life entertainment venture, Dreamland. Dumbo soars to new heights alongside a charming and spectacular aerial artist (Eva Green), until Holt learns that beneath its shiny veneer, Dreamland is full of dark secrets.
Custody - Jusqu'à la garde HD720p 58MB
Intense drama from France that plays like a thriller. A broken marriage leads to a bitter custody battle with an embattled son. Miriam and Antoine Besson have divorced, and Miriam (Léa Drucker) is seeking sole custody of their son Julien to protect him from a father she claims is violent. Antoine (Denis Ménochet) pleads his case as a scorned dad whose children have been turned against him by their vindictive mother. Unsure who is telling the truth, the appointed judge rules in favor of joint custody. A hostage to the escalating conflict between his parents, Julien is pushed to the edge to prevent the worst from happening.
First time director Xavier Legrand won the Best Director award last fall in Venice.
The Little Stranger HD720p 95MB
Mystery drama that tells the story of Dr Faraday (Domhnall Gleeson), the son of a housemaid, who has built a life of quiet respectability as a country doctor. During the long hot summer of 1948, he is called to a patient at Hundreds Hall, where his mother once worked. The Hall has been home to the Ayres family for more than two centuries. But it is now in decline and its inhabitants - mother, son and daughter - are haunted by something more ominous than a dying way of life. Ruth Wilson, Will Poulter and Charlotte Rampling are also part of the cast. Directed Lenny Abrahamson (Room, Garage, Frank).
The Catcher Was a Spy HD720p 83MB
Stranger-than-fiction espionage thriller that brings to life the story of Moe Berg, the professional baseball player who became a World War II spy. A Jewish, Princeton-educated, multilingual catcher for the Boston Red Sox with a closely-guarded private life, Berg (Paul Rudd) was already a man of mystery when, in 1944, the US government’s wartime intelligence agency enlisted his services. His mission: go behind enemy lines in Europe to assassinate the Nazi’s chief nuclear scientist (Mark Strong) before the Germans develop an atomic bomb. Jeff Daniels, Paul Giamatti, Sienna Miller, Guy Pearce, Tom Wilkinson, Giancarlo Giannini and Hiroyuki Sanada are also part of the cast. Directed by Ben Lewin (The Sessions, Please Stand By).
Festival reviews are mixed, but cast is great. It's also interesting to see Rudd's recent attempts to broaden his range.
