trailer_spotMoney Monster HD720p 34MB
Thriller drama about a bombastic TV personality (George Clooney) whose popular financial network show has made him the money wiz of Wall Street. But after he hawks a high tech stock that mysteriously crashes, an irate investor (Jack O'Connell) takes him, his crew, and his ace producer (Julia Roberts) hostage live on air. Unfolding in real time, the two must find a way to keep themselves alive while simultaneously uncovering the truth behind a tangle of big money lies. Dominic West, Giancarlo Esposito and Caitronia Balfe are also part of the cast. Directed by Jodie Foster (Little Man Tate, The Beaver).
As much as I'll probably sympathise with the topic of the movie, judging by the trailer, I fear it will turn out to be a little preachy.
Free State of Jones HD720p 46MB
Action-drama set during the Civil War that tells the story of defiant Southern farmer, Newt Knight (Matthew McConaughey), and his extraordinary armed rebellion against the Confederacy.Banding together with other small farmers and local slaves, he launched an uprising that led Jones County, Mississippi to secede from the Confederacy, creating a Free State of Jones. Knight continued his struggle into Reconstruction, distinguishing him as a compelling, if controversial, figure of defiance long beyond the War. Also part of the cast are Keri Russell, Gugu Mbatha-Raw and Mahershala Ali. Written and directed by Gary Ross (The Hunger Games, Seabiscuit, Pleasantville).
Band of Robbers HD720p 22MB
A modern-day retelling in the form of a comedic adventure based on Mark Twain's iconic books, that reimagines the characters as grown men and small-time crooks. When Huck Finn (Kyle Gallner) is released from prison, he hopes to leave his criminal life behind, but his lifelong friend, and corrupt cop, Tom Sawyer (Adam Nee), has other plans. Not ready to give up on his childhood fantasies, Tom forms the Band of Robbers, recruiting two of their misfit friends to join them for an elaborate plan to find a fabled treasure. Melissa Benoist and Stephen Lang are also part of the cast.
The indie production got some very favourable festival reviews and will be available on various distribution platforms starting next weekend.
Elvis & Nixon HD720p 46MB
Comedy based on the historic event that took place on acold and grey Chicago December morning in 1970, when the King of Rock'n Roll (Michael Shannon) showed up on the lawn of the White House to request a meeting with the most powerful man in the world, President Nixon (Kevin Spacey). The movie tells the story behind this revealing, yet humorous moment in the Oval Office forever immortalized in the most requested photograph in the National Archives. Colin Hanks, Alex Pettyfer, Johnny Knoxville, Evan Peters and Ashley Benson are also part of the cast. Directed by Liza Johnson (Hateship Loveship, Return).
What makes this very intriguing is the casting of Shannon and Spacey. Unfortunately, after seeing the trailer, I'm afraid I have to add "in theory" because it looks like a wasted opportunity.
High-Rise HD720p 24MB
Second teaser from the UK that offers a few glimpses of the mayhem that's going on in the high-rise. The retro-futuristic action drama follows a young, respectable doctor, Robert Laing (Tom Hiddleston), who moves into a new luxury apartment seeking anonymity. The building, a Brutalist concrete tower block, is inhabited by eccentric tenants who let off steam in endless rounds of themed parties and raucous, drink-and-drug-fuelled orgies. Sitting literally atop this insular society is the high-rise's architect and owner (Jeremy Irons) whose penthouse suite beggars description and has nothing to do with the rest of his design. As Robert settles into his new abode without ever really unpacking properly, the tower and its social complexities begin to take over his life. Sienna Miller, Luke Evans, Elisabeth Moss, James Purefoy and Sienna Guillory are also part of the cast. Directed by Ben Wheatley (Sightseers, Down Terrace, Kill List).
