The 355 HD720p 102MB
Action film, "from the studio that brought you Jason Bourne". When a top-secret weapon falls into mercenary hands, wild card CIA agent Mason “Mace” Brown (Jessica Chastain) will need to join forces with rival badass German agent Marie (Diane Kruger), former MI6 ally and cutting-edge computer specialist Khadijah (Lupita Nyong’o), and skilled Colombian psychologist Graciela (Penélope Cruz) on a lethal, breakneck mission to retrieve it, while also staying one-step ahead of a mysterious woman, Lin Mi Sheng (Bingbing Fan), who is tracking their every move. Sebastian Stan and Edgar Ramírez are also part of the cast. Directed by the guy who buried the X-Men franchise (Simon Kinberg).
I'm sure they had good intentions, but the casting looks like it was done using a spreadsheet. Currently set for a theatrical release next January.
The Forty-Year-Old Version HD1080p 71MB
Kind of biographical comedic drama about Radha (Radha Blank), a once-promising playwright, is barreling toward the stigma of being single and a struggling artist at the age of 40. Facing nonstop rejections from the theatre community while teaching a motley group of teens, she becomes creatively re-invigorated when she returns to rapping, her long-forgotten passion. When her play finally gets going, however, she puts recording a rap demo on the back burner and must navigate the awful tension of compromising her voice for career success. Blank also wrote and directed.
An article about Radha Blank. Now streaming on Netflix. Trailer version without German subs.

Unmistakably directed by people who previously were involved in making The Secret of Kells and Song of the Sea .
Will be available on Apple TV+ December 11.
Sound of Metal HD720p 39MB
Intense drama, in which, during a series of adrenaline-fueled one-night gigs, itinerant punk-metal drummer Ruben (Riz Ahmed) begins to experience intermittent hearing loss. When a specialist tells him his condition will rapidly worsen, he thinks his music career - and with it his life - is over. His bandmate and girlfriend Lou (Olivia Cooke) checks the recovering heroin addict into a secluded sober house for the deaf in hopes it will prevent a relapse and help him learn to adapt to his new situation.
Was very well received at festivals. After a limited theatrical release, will start streaming on Amazon Prime December 4.
The Witches HD720p 45MB
Reimagining of Dahl’s darkly humorous and heartwarming tale of a young orphaned boy who, in late 1967, goes to live with his loving Grandma (Octavia Spencer) in the rural Alabama town of Demopolis. As the boy and his grandmother encounter some deceptively glamorous but thoroughly diabolical witches, she wisely whisks our young hero away to an opulent seaside resort. Regrettably, they arrive at precisely the same time that the world’s Grand High Witch (Anne Hathaway) has gathered her fellow cronies from around the globe—undercover - to carry out her nefarious plans. Stanley Tucci and Kristin Chenoweth are also part of the cast, Chris Rock narrates the story.
Directed by Robert Zemeckis (Beowulf, The Polar Express, A Christmas Carol) in a "visually innovative" way. Which, as always, sounds like a threat. Will start streaming on HBO MAX October 22.
