trailer_spotGrandma HD720p 19MB
Comedic drama in which aging poet Elle Reid (Lily Tomlin) mourns the death of her longtime partner even as she reels from a recent breakup; yet she must table her misanthropy when her teenage granddaughter Sage (Julia Garner) turns up unexpectedly on her doorstep in need of $600 and a ride. What ensues is an urban road-trip in Elle's vintage Dodge to visit old friends and flames, rattling skeletons and digging up secrets all over town as the unlikely duo try to rustle up the cash. Marcia Gay Harden, Judy Greer, Laverne Cox, Nat Wolff, John Cho and Sam Elliott are also part of the cast. Written and directed by Paul Weitz (About a Boy, Being Flynn, In Good Company).
Festival reviews especially praise Tomlin's performance.
The Legend of Barney Thomson HD720p 13MB
Dark comedy that tells the tale of a hapless barber (Robert Carlyle) devoid of charm and 'patter' as his fellow barbering brethren mockingly remind him. His mediocre, mundane life of plotting for a way up is about to be transformed, following a typically incompetent fit of pique, when he inadvertently stumbles into serial murder, and with it headlong into the trail of a grotesque series of killings gripping Glasgow. As he makes ham-fisted attempts to cover his tracks, he finds himself on the run from a bearish Detective Inspector (Ray Winstone) and a testosterone-driven local Police task force at each others throats over the ongoing crimes. With his sanity threatening to unravel, he fatefully turns to his domineering, emasculating mother (Emma Thompson, two years older than Carlyle). It's also the directorial debut of Carlyle.
Kind of like a Scottish version of Sweeney Todd, without the singing. Which is fine by me. If I can watch it with subtitles.
Kung Fu Panda 3 HD720p 75MB
First trailer for the third movie in the franchise, to be in theatres next ... January. When Po's long-lost panda father (Bryan Cranston) suddenly reappears, the reunited duo travels to a secret panda paradise to meet scores of hilarious new panda characters. But when the supernatural villain Kai (J.K. Simmons) begins to sweep across China defeating all the kung fu masters, Po (Jack Black) must do the impossible - learn to train a village full of his fun-loving, clumsy brethren to become the ultimate band of Kung Fu Pandas! All the major voices return, Rebel Wilson is a further voice cast addition.
Time Out of Mind HD720p 18MB
Drama about a desperate man (Richard Gere). With faltering health and nowhere to turn, he finds himself thrust onto New York City's unforgiving streets. After exhausting all other avenues of temporary housing, he seeks refuge at Bellevue Hospital, Manhattan's largest intake centre for homeless men. It too proves a harsh and difficult-to-navigate environment, crowded as it is with similarly marginalized souls. But when he befriends a seasoned shelter-dweller, he begins to harbour hope of repairing his relationship with his estranged daughter (Jena Malone). Steve Buscemi and Kyra Sedgwick are also part of the cast. Written and directed by Oren Moverman (The Messenger, Rampart).
Not an easy watch, but Gere certainly gives a remarkable performance.
