Colette HD720p 96MB
Biopic about French novelist Colette. After marrying a successful Parisian writer known commonly as “Willy” (Dominic West), Sidonie-Gabrielle Colette (Keira Knightley) is transplanted from her childhood home in rural France to the intellectual and artistic splendor of Paris. Soon after, Willy convinces Colette to ghostwrite for him. She pens a semi-autobiographical novel about a witty and brazen country girl named Claudine, sparking a bestseller and a cultural sensation. After its success, Colette and Willy become the talk of Paris and their adventures inspire additional Claudine novels. Colette's fight over creative ownership and gender roles drives her to overcome societal constraints, revolutionizing literature, fashion and sexual expression. Directed by Wash Westmoreland (Still Alice, The Last of Robin Hood, Quinceañera).
Was very well received at Sundance.
Juliet, Naked HD720p 90MB
Romantic, comedic drama based on the novel by Nick Hornby. Annie (Rose Byrne) is stuck in a long-term relationship with Duncan (Chris O’Dowd) – an obsessive fan of obscure rocker Tucker Crowe (Ethan Hawke). When the acoustic demo of Tucker's hit record from 25 years ago surfaces, its release leads to a life-changing encounter between Annie and the elusive rocker himself. Directed by Jesse Peretz (Our Idiot Brother).
Given the talent involved this looks not very romantic nor particularly comedic.
Life Itself HD720p 91MB
Full trailer for this drama that centers on a couple (Oscar Isaac, Olivia Wilde) that leads a multi generational love story spanning both decades and continents, from the streets of New York to the Spanish countryside, and are all connected by a single event. Olivia Cooke, Annette Bening, Antonio Banderas, Laia Costa and Mandy Patinkin are also part of the cast.
I'm probably just overly grumpy, but trailer reminds me of an insurance commercial.
A Happening of Monumental Proportions HD720p 91MB
Comedy that marks Judy Greer's directorial debut. It's about Daniel, an account manager (Common) with a boring job gearing up for Career Day at his daughter's elementary school, while dealing with the fallout of an intra-office romance with his assistant (Jennifer Garner) and his nasty new boss (Bradley Whitford). The boss's unfortunately nerdy son finds himself instantly entranced with Daniel's daughter (Storm Reid), seeking advice from their school's hip shop teacher (John Cho) and depressed music teacher (Anders Holm), without success. The teachers' principal team (Allison Janney, Rob Riggle) spend their day trying to hide the school's dead gardener from not only the staff, but also the students and their parents, who experience a Career Day they likely will never forget. Katie Holmes and Kumail Nanjiani are also part of the cast.
That's already a large amount of people. But watch for the surprise cameo entrance at the end.
The Spy Gone North HD720p 60MB
Political thriller set in 1993 Korea, the only country where the Cold War continues, tensions surrounding the development of nuclear weapons escalate. An army major in the South Korea military intelligence with the code name ‘Black Venus’ is assigned a mission to infiltrate the North Korean nuclear facility. He disguises himself as a South Korean businessman working on a collaborative project with North Korea, and approaches a North Korean high official based in Beijing. After laying down groundwork for years, he finally manages to win the North Korean ruling class’ trust. However, he discovers that both North and South Korea are making secret deals for their own interests in the 1998 South Korean presidential election.
Probably not easy to follow, but apparently well worth a look if you like thrillers without shootouts and car chases.
