The Fall Guy     HD720p 44MB
Another long trailer for this action comedy loosely based on the TV series of the same name. Colt Seavers (Ryan Gosling) is a stuntman who left the business a year earlier to focus on both his physical and mental health. He's drafted back into service when the star (Aaron Taylor-Johnson) of a mega-budget studio movie, which is being directed by his ex Jody Moreno (Emily Blunt), goes missing. While the film’s ruthless producer (Hannah Waddingham), maneuvers to keep the disappearance a secret from the studio and the media, Colt performs the film’s most outrageous stunts while trying (with limited success) to charm his way back into Jody’s good graces. Winston Duke is also part of the cast. Directed by David Leitch (John Wick, Atomic Blonde, Deadpool 2).
Reviews from the SXSW Film Festival are very favourable.

Tense looking drama about how the BBC obtained the bombshell interview with Prince Andrew (Rufus Sewell) about his friendship with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Gillian Anderson, Billie Piper, Keeley Hawes and Romola Garai are also part of the cast.

This leaves Vivienne to fend for herself in a place controlled by a corrupt mayor (Danny Huston) and his unscrupulous business partner (Garrett Dillahunt). Mortensen also wrote the story and directed. He also wrote the score.

Bad Boys: Ride or Die     HD720p 36MB
First trailer for a new instalment of the action comedy franchise. Not that it makes a difference, but so far there's no meaningful plot summary other than that Bad Boys Mike Lowrey (Will Smith) and Marcus Burnett (Martin Lawrence) are on the run. Original cast member Joe Pantoliano returns. Vanessa Hudgens, Paola Núñez and Alexander Ludwig are on board from the previous film. New cast additions include Ioan Gruffudd and Tiffany Haddish.

Horizon: An American Saga - Chapter 1     HD720p 46MB
Trailer for the newest Western epic directed by Kevin Costner (Dances with Wolves, Open Range, The Postman). It explores the lure of the Old West and how it was won - and lost - through the blood, sweat and tears of many.

Besides Costner himself it lists an extensive cast including Sienna Miller, Sam Worthington, Giovanni Ribisi, Jena Malone, Abbey Lee, Michael Rooker, Danny Huston, Luke Wilson, Isabelle Fuhrman, Jeff Fahey and Will Patton.
Looks very "traditional". Chapter 1 will premiere at the end of June. The second in August. And possibly more to come.

Evil Does Not Exist - Aku wa sonzai shinai     HD720p 29MB
Quiet drama from Japan set in a rural alpine hamlet not far from Tokyo, where Takumi and his daughter lead a modest life gathering water, wood, and wild wasabi.

When two company representatives arrive and ask for local guidance, Takumi becomes conflicted in his involvement, as it becomes clear that the project will have a pernicious impact on the community. Directed by Ryûsuke Hamaguchi who two years ago won the Foreign Language Oscar (Drive My Car).
The trailer is rather mysterious. And festival reviews say that the whole movie is. It may still be worth a look.

The Three Musketeers - Part II: Milady     HD1080p 34MB
Trailer for the second part of the new serious minded adaptation from France of Alexandre Dumas' novel. D'Artagnan (François Civil) is forced to join forces with Milady (Eva Green) to save Constance (Lyna Khoudri), who was kidnapped before his eyes.

Already released in many countries, not clear if and when it will premiere in the US.

I Saw the TV Glow     HD1080p 35MB
Trailer for what has now been categorised as emo horror, in which teenager Owen (Justice Smith) is just trying to make it through life in the suburbs when his classmate (Brigette Lundy-Paine) introduces him to a mysterious late-night TV show – a vision of a supernatural world beneath their own. In the pale glow of the TV, Owen’s view of reality begins to crack.
Aside from the usual problem that both lead actors portraying teenagers are approaching 30, this looks unusual. It has received very favourable festival reviews.

Knox Goes Away     HD720p 21MB
Crime drama about a hitman who is diagnosed with a fast-moving form of dementia, with one last task to take care of before he can fade away. in a race against time he has to help his estranged son (James Marsden) cover up a messy crime. He sees only one way out, developing a tricky scheme with multiple steps that require precise execution. He enlists the confidence of his friend (Al Pacino) to keep him on track and begins a race against the clock. Second movie also directed by Keaton (The Merry Gentleman).
I love Keaton, and I wish he had been more interesting film in recent year, but this doesn't look entirely convincing.

Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes     HD720p 36MB
Full trailer for what amounts to another reboot attempt of the franchise. It's set several generations in the future following Caesar’s reign, in which apes are the dominant species living harmoniously and humans have been reduced to living in the shadows.

US trailer for this ... colourful animated movie from France. Paulette feels guilty after unjustly punishing her daughter Linda and would do anything to make it up to her.

Won the Cesar for Best Animated Film.

Borderlands     HD720p 39MB
First trailer for this sci-fi action comedy based on a video game franchise. Lilith (Cate Blanchett), an infamous treasure hunter with a mysterious past, reluctantly returns to her home planet of Pandora to find the missing daughter of Atlas (Edgar Ramírez), the universe’s most powerful S.O.B. She forms an unexpected alliance with a ragtag team of misfits – Roland (Kevin Hart), once a highly respected soldier, but now desperate for redemption; Tiny Tina (Ariana Greenblatt), a feral pre-teen demolitionist; Krieg (Florian Munteanu), Tina’s musclebound, rhetorically challenged protector; Tannis (Jamie Lee Curtis), the scientist who’s seen it all; and Claptrap (Jack Black), a persistently wiseass robot. Directed by Eli Roth (Hostel, Hostel 2).
Juvenile jokes about pee and poo, and Blanchett, Hart, Ramírez and Curtis look like they're doing cosplay. With the right mindset it could still be entertaining.

Sasquatch Sunset     HD720p 27MB
Very unusual adventure comedy set in the misty forests of North America, where a family of Sasquatches (Riley Keough, Jesse Eisenberg) - possibly the last of their enigmatic kind - embark on an absurdist, epic, hilarious, and ultimately poignant journey over the course of one year. These shaggy and noble giants fight for survival as they find themselves on a collision course with the ever-changing world around them coalescing into the greatest Bigfoot story ever told. Written and directed by the Zellner Brothers (Kumiko The Treasure Hunter, Damsel).
To be clear, this is actors like Eisenberg and Keough for about ninety minutes wearing hairy costumes and not uttering a single word, only communicating by snarling and barking. Festival reviews are divided if one needs to see a whole movie like this, but there's definitely some curiosity value.

Damsel     HD720p 37MB
Fantasy action adventure about a dutiful damsel (Millie Bobby Brown) who agrees to marry a handsome prince (Nick Robinson), only to find the royal family has recruited her as a sacrifice to repay an ancient debt. Thrown into a cave with a fire-breathing dragon, she must rely on her wits and will to survive. Angela Bassett, Robin Wright, Ray Winstone and Shohreh Aghdashloo are also part of the cast. Directed by Juan Carlos Fresnadillo (28 Weeks Later ,Intacto).
That's not your average fairy-tale plot summary. Looks kind of at the same time cheap and ambitious. Will start streaming on Netflix March 8th.

The Beast - La bête     HD720p 19MB
Ambitious sc-fi drama set in the year 2044: artificial intelligence controls all facets of a stoic society as humans routinely “erase” their feelings. Hoping to eliminate pain caused by their past-life romances, Gabrielle (Léa Seydoux) continually falls in love with different incarnations of Louis (George MacKay). Set first in Belle Époque-era Paris Louis is a British man who woos her away from a cold husband, then in early 21st Century Los Angeles, he is a disturbed American bent on delivering violent “retribution.” Will the process allow Gabrielle to fully connect with Louis in the present, or are the two doomed to repeat their previous fates? Directed by Bertrand Bonello (Saint Laurent).
It looks a bit nightmarish, but festival reviews indicate it's worth seeing if you look for something more challenging.

Drive-Away Dolls     HD720p 20MB
A new trailer for this comedy caper delayed by the various Hollywood strikes, directed by Ethan Coen (Raising Arizona, Fargo, Burn After Reading). It follows Jamie (Margaret Qualley), an uninhibited free spirit bemoaning yet another breakup with a girlfriend, and her demure friend Marian (Geraldine Viswanathan) who desperately needs to loosen up. In search of a fresh start, the two embark on an impromptu road trip to Tallahassee, but things quickly go awry when they cross paths with a group of inept criminals along the way. Beanie Feldstein, Pedro Pascal, Colman Domingo, Bill Camp and Matt Damon are also part of the cast.
Will now premiere in a number of countries this weekend.

Deadpool & Wolverine     HD720p 28MB
First trailer for the third Deadpool (Ryan Reynolds) movie, this time teaming up with Wolverine (Hugh Jackman), to be in theatres in July. I don't think there's yet an official plot summary, but I don't think that's really necessary. Everyone knows what to expect. Morena Baccarin, Leslie Uggams and Brianna Hildebrand will return. Matthew Macfadyen and Emma Corrin are new cast additions. Jennifer Garner as Elektra and Patrick Stewart probably as you know who, are also listed. Directed by Shawn Levy (Night at the Museum , Real Steel, Free Guy).

Twisters     HD720p 29MB
A former storm chaser (Daisy Edgar-Jones) haunted by a devastating encounter with a tornado during her college years who now studies storm patterns on screens safely in New York City. She is lured back to the open plains by her friend (Anthony Ramos) to test a groundbreaking new tracking system. There, she crosses paths with a charming and reckless social-media superstar (Glen Powell) who thrives on posting his storm-chasing adventures with his raucous crew, the more dangerous the better.
Best not taken seriously, but at IMDb there's a trivia item that states that this isn't a remake, which seems just laughable since it looks exactly like a remake. The most interesting thing is probably that it's directed by Lee Isaac Chung who previously made the Oscar nominated immigration drama Minari.

The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare     HD720p 26MB
Action-comedy inspired by true events that tells the story of the first-ever special forces organization formed during WWII by UK Prime Minister Winston Churchill and a small group of military officials. The top-secret combat unit, composed of a motley crew of rogues and mavericks, goes on a daring mission against the Nazis using entirely unconventional and utterly “ungentlemanly” fighting techniques. Cast members include Henry Cavill, Eiza González, Alan Ritchson, Henry Golding, Cary Elwes and Babs Olusanmokun. Directed by Guy Ritchie (Snatch., The Man from U.N.C.L.E., Swept Away).
Feeble historical connection aside, at the end it just looks like another Guy Ritchie film. Or a Matthew Vaughn film.

Wicked: Part One     HD720p 15MB
Teaser trailer for the first part of the two-part movie adaptation of the Broadway musical, to be in theatres in November. It tells the story of the witches of Oz. Elphaba (Cynthia Erivo), a young woman, misunderstood because of her unusual green skin, who has yet to discover her true power, and Glinda (Ariana Grande), a popular young woman, gilded by privilege and ambition, who has yet to discover her true heart. The two meet as students at Shiz University in the fantastical Land of Oz and forge an unlikely but profound friendship. Following an encounter with The Wonderful Wizard of Oz (Jeff Goldblum), their friendship reaches a crossroads and their lives take very different paths. Michelle Yeoh and Jonathan Bailey are also part of the cast. Directed by Jon M. Chu (Crazy Rich Asians, In the Heights, Now You See Me 2).

Despicable Me 4     HD720p 6MB
Amusing and timely "Big Game Spot" that I suspect doesn't really have anything to do with the actual movie.

La Chimera     HD720p 28MB
To provide a small counterweight to all the big-budget, Superbowl promoted Hollywood films, a trailer for a drama from Italy with a touch of humour and magic realism, set in 1980s Tuscany. Everyone has their own Chimera, something they try to achieve but never manage to find. For the band of tombaroli, thieves of ancient grave goods and archaeological wonders, the Chimera means redemption from work and the dream of easy wealth. For Arthur (Josh O'Connor), the Chimera looks like the woman he lost, Beniamina. To find her, he challenges the invisible, searches everywhere, goes inside the earth – in search of the door to the afterlife of which myths speak. Alba Rohrwacher and Isabella Rossellini are also part of the cast. Directed by Alice Rohrwacher (Happy as Lazzaro). Movie was very well received in last year in Cannes.
I have to admit that only when a few years ago I noticed a collaboration between them I realised that there are two Italian sisters named Rohrwacher. Alice the director, and Alba the actress.

Monkey Man     HD720p 49MB
Extended redband trailer for this action thriller about an anonymous young man (Dev Patel) who ekes out a meager living in an underground fight club in India where, night after night, wearing a gorilla mask, he is beaten bloody by more popular fighters for cash. After years of suppressed rage, he discovers a way to infiltrate the enclave of the city’s sinister elite. As his childhood trauma boils over, his mysteriously scarred hands unleash an explosive campaign of retribution to settle the score with the men who took everything from him. Also marks the directorial debut of Dev Patel.
Hard not to think of the John Wick movies as a strong influence. Which doesn't have to be a bad thing.

Despicable Me 4     HD720p 35MB
First trailer for the fourth movie about the world’s favorite supervillain-turned-Anti-Villain League-agent who returns for an exciting, bold new era of Minions mayhem. A new chapter has begun as Gru (Steve Carrell), Lucy (Kristen Wiig), and their three girls welcome a new member to the Gru family, Gru Jr., who is intent on tormenting his dad. As Gru faces a new nemesis in Maxime Le Mal (Will Ferrell) and his femme fatale girlfriend Valentina (Sofía Vergara), the family is forced to go on the run.

American Star     HD720p 22MB
Thriller that follows an assassin (Ian McShane) on his final assignment in Fuerteventura who decides to stay on the island while his target is delayed in arriving. He becomes drawn to the people he meets and a ghostly shipwreck which complicates his mission greatly when the target returns.
We've seen this movie before, but not starring Ian McShane, which makes it again interesting. Already in limited release in the US, and I think also available on streaming services.

The Invisible Fight - Nähtamatu võitlus     HD720p 31MB
Wacky action comedy from Estonia set in 1973 at the USSR-China border. Young soldier Rafael is on guard duty when the border falls under attack from Chinese kung fu warriors, leaving him as the sole survivor. Utterly fascinated by the martial artists who easily dispatched his fellow guards, all while blasting forbidden Black Sabbath music from their portable radio, Rafael is struck by a revelation: he too wants to become a kung fu warrior. Looking for mentorship but with limited options, faith leads Rafael to seek martial arts teachers at the most unlikely of places: the local Eastern Orthodox monastery.
According to festival reviews, with a running time of almost two hours, it goes on for too long, but it's overall still an entertaining watch.

Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire     HD720p 35MB
Full trailer for the sequel of the re-boot. The Spengler family (Mckenna Grace, Finn Wolfhard, Carrie Coon, Paul Rudd) returns to where it all started – the iconic New York City firehouse – to team up with the original Ghostbusters, who’ve developed a top-secret research lab to take busting ghosts to the next level. But when the discovery of an ancient artifact unleashes an evil force, Ghostbusters new and old must join forces to protect their home and save the world from a second Ice Age.

On the eve of their battle the warriors must face the truths of their own pasts, each revealing why they fight. Returning cast members include Charlie Hunnam, Ed Skrein, Michiel Huisman, Djimon Hounsou, Doona Bae, Ray Fisher, Cleopatra Coleman and Jena Malone. Again directed by Zack Snyder (Man of Steel, 300, Sucker Punch).
I hope the summary makes at least a little bit of sense to those who've seen the first part. Will start streaming on Netflix April 19th.

Comedic drama set in 1970s Korea, in which Director Kim (Song Kang-ho) is obsessed by the desire to re-shoot the ending of his completed film 'Cobweb', but chaos and turmoil grip the set with interference from the censorship authorities, and the complaints of actors and producers who can't understand the re-written ending. Will Kim be able to find a way through this chaos to fulfill his artistic ambitions and complete his masterpiece? Directed by Kim Jee-Woon (A Bittersweet Life, A Tale of Two Sisters, The Good the Bad the Weird).

Further voices are provided by Werner Herzog, Colin Hanks, Ike Barinholtz, Angela Bassett, Natasia Demetriou and Nat Faxon.

More specifically, he’s tapped to become the Spiritual Leader of the Valley of Peace. That poses a couple of obvious problems. First, Po knows as much about spiritual leadership as he does about the paleo diet, and second, he needs to quickly find and train a new Dragon Warrior before he can assume his new lofty position. Even worse, there’s been a recent sighting of a wicked, powerful sorceress, Chameleon (Viola Davis), a tiny lizard who can shapeshift into any creature, large or small. Bryan Cranston, James Hong, Dustin Hoffman and Ian McShane will also return. New voices will be provided by Awkwafina and Ke Huy Quan.

Another short trailer.

The Book of Clarence     HD720p 30MB
Another trailer for this comedic religious drama, according to festival reviews, somewhere between Life of Brian and earnest bible films. Unlike some members of the Jerusalem community in AD33, Clarence (LaKeith Stanfield) is not the most spiritual of citizens. Seemingly unmoved by Jesus Christ’s message of peace and brotherly love, Clarence sees a perfect window of opportunity to take advantage of a nascent celebrity culture. But at what cost to his eternal soul? Also part of the cast are Omar Sy, Anna Diop, RJ Cyler, David Oyelowo, Micheal Ward, Alfre Woodard, Teyana Taylor, Caleb McLaughlin, Marianne Jean-Baptiste, James McAvoy and Benedict Cumberbatch.

Cast members include Kirsten Dunst, Wagner Moura, Cailee Spaeny, Jesse Plemons, Nick Offerman, Stephen McKinley Henderson, Karl Glusman and Sonoya Mizuno. Written and directed by Alex Garland (Ex Machina, Annihilation, Men).
So far still fictional. Side note, the systematic inability of the film distributor A24 to provide a plot summary is unrivalled.

Dune: Part Two     HD720p 33MB   HD1080p 57MB
Delayed until March due to the actor's strike, so we get another trailer for the second part, again directed by Denis Villeneuve (Arrival, Sicario, Incendies).

The Zone of Interest     Tsr1 HD720p 16MB    HD720p Tsr2 10MB
Two interesting, short trailers for this unconventional drama about the Holocaust. It's about the commandant of Auschwitz, Rudolf Höss (Christian Friedel), and his wife Hedwig (Sandra Hüller), who strive to build a dream life for their family in a house and garden next to the camp.

Festival reviews laud the conversations between the two leads but critisise the added story elements.

Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga     HD720p 36MB   HD1080p 79MB
First trailer for the origin story of Furiosa, to be in theatres next May. As the world fell, young Furiosa (Anya Taylor-Joy) is snatched from the Green Place of Many Mothers and falls into the hands of a great Biker Horde led by the Warlord Dementus (Chris Hemsworth). Sweeping through the Wasteland, they come across the Citadel presided over by The Immortan Joe. While the two Tyrants war for dominance, Furiosa must survive many trials as she puts together the means to find her way home. Again directed by George Miller.
The previous movie was just insane. Watching this new trailer so far mainly makes me want to watch Fury Road again.

Memory     HD720p 23MB
Intense drama about Silvia (Jessica Chastain) who works at a public home in New York City for adults struggling with mental health conditions. She leads a simple and structured life: her daughter, her job, her AA meetings.

Their surprise encounter will profoundly impact both of them as they open the door to the past. Written and directed by Michel Franco (Sundown, Chronic).

He enlists Marcie Kramer (Morena Baccarin), the victim's ex-wife and a woman with the backbone and skillset Charlie needs. Dragging her back into a past she was determined to escape sends the two of them on a wild and unpredictable odyssey that's unexpectedly amusing, action-propelled, and ultimately heartfelt. The late James Caan is also part of the cast. Directed by Phillip Noyce (The Quiet American, The Bone Collector, Salt).
Reviews indicate it might be worth checking out.

The Taste of Things - La passion de Dodin Bouffant     Tlr1 HD1080p 21MB    TLr2 HD1080p 40MB
New addition to the art house food porn genre that is set in late 19th century France. Peerless cook Eugenie (Juliette Binoche) has worked for the famous gourmet Dodin (Benoît Magimel) for the last 20 years.

Their association gives rise to dishes, one more delicious than the next, that confound even the world’s most illustrious chefs. But Eugenie is fond of her freedom and has never wanted to marry Dodin. So, he decides to do something he has never done before: cook for her. Directed by Tran Anh Hung (The Scent of Green Papaya, I Come with the Rain, Norwegian Wood).
Festival reviews are very favourable but keep in mind that it's almost 2 1/2 hours long and there's not a lot happening besides the cooking. Tran Anh Hung was awarded the Best Director Award this year in Cannes. It's also France's submission for the "Best International Film". Two different, short trailers to choose from.

The Garfield Movie     HD720p 32MB
First trailer for the animated reboot, to be in theatres next May. Garfield (Chris Pratt), the world-famous, Monday-hating, lasagna-loving indoor cat, is about to have a wild outdoor adventure.

Kumail Nanjiani and Patton Oswalt are also part of the cast, Celeste O'Connor and some of the elderly Ghostbusters also return.
I haven't seen the previous movie, but I didn't get the impression that there's the need for another instalment.

Bad Behaviour     HD1080p 17MB
Dark comedy about Lucy (Jennifer Connelly), a former child actress who seeks enlightenment at a retreat led by spiritual leader Elon (Ben Whishaw) while she also navigates the close yet turbulent relationship with her stunt performer daughter, Dylan (Alice Englert).

Bill Nighy and Connie Nielsen are also part of the cast.
Maybe the movie will prove me wrong, but I fear that Kaley Cuoco is not ideally cast. Will start streaming on Amazon Prime January 12th.

Leo     HD1080p 33MB
Coming-of-age animated musical comedy about the last year of elementary school – as seen through the eyes of a class pet. Jaded 74-year-old lizard Leo (Adam Sandler) has been stuck in the same Florida classroom for decades with his terrarium-mate turtle (Bill Burr).

It ends up being the strangest but most rewarding bucket list ever… More voices are provided by Cecily Strong, Jason Alexander and Sandler's daughters.
Trailer doesn't confirm that it's also sort of a musical, but reviews are mostly favourable. Already streaming on Netflix since November 21st.

Looks interesting, though festival reviews are a bit mixed.

Action comedy loosely based on the TV series of the same name. Colt Seavers (Ryan Gosling) is a stuntman who left the business a year earlier to focus on both his physical and mental health.

Sarah Gordon, Gabriel Leone, Jack O'Connell and Patrick Dempsey are also part of the cast.

The Book of Clarence     HD1080p 29MB
Comedic religious drama, according to festival reviews, somewhere between Life of Brian and earnest bible films. Unlike some members of the Jerusalem community in AD33, Clarence (LaKeith Stanfield) is not the most spiritual of citizens. Seemingly unmoved by Jesus Christ’s message of peace and brotherly love, Clarence sees a perfect window of opportunity to take advantage of a nascent celebrity culture. But at what cost to his eternal soul? Also part of the cast are Omar Sy, Anna Diop, RJ Cyler, David Oyelowo, Micheal Ward, Alfre Woodard, Teyana Taylor, Caleb McLaughlin, Marianne Jean-Baptiste, James McAvoy and Benedict Cumberbatch.

Full trailer for this biographical drama that follows the complex love story of Leonard Bernstein (Bradley Cooper) and Felicia Montealegre (Carey Mulligan); from the time they met in 1946 at a party, through two engagements, a 25-year marriage and three children. Matt Bomer, Maya Hawke and Sarah Silverman are also part of the cast. It's also co-written and directed by Cooper (A Star Is Born).

Wingwomen - Voleuses     HD1080p 28MB
Action movie from France about pro thief Carole (Mélanie Laurent), tired of life on the run, who wants to retire. But freedom comes at a steep cost: one seemingly simple last job with her loyal partner in crime Alex (Adèle Exarchopoulos) and rookie getaway driver Sam (Manon Bresch). Isabelle Adjani is also part of the cast, Laurent also directs.
The plot probably won't hold too many surprises. But it looks entertaining, and listening to Blondie's Atomic in the trailer puts you in a good mood. Will start streaming on Netflix November 1st.

Wicked Little Letters     HD720p 27MB
Redband trailer for this comedic mystery drama based on a true story set in a 1920s English seaside town that bears witness to a farcical and occasionally sinister scandal. It follows two neighbours: deeply conservative local Edith Swan (Olivia Colman) and rowdy Irish migrant Rose Gooding (Jessie Buckley). When Edith and fellow residents begin to receive wicked letters full of unintentionally hilarious profanities, foul-mouthed Rose is charged with the crime. The anonymous letters prompt a national uproar, and a trial ensues. However, as the town’s women - led by Police Officer Gladys Moss (Anjana Vasan) - begin to investigate the crime themselves, they suspect that something is amiss. Eileen Atkins, Timothy Spall and Gemma Jones are also part of the cast.
Festival reviews are rather mixed. But if you enjoy listening to British actors cursing ...

Comedic spy thriller about Elly Conway (Bryce Dallas Howard) who is the reclusive author of a series of best-selling espionage novels. She loves spending her nights at home with her computer and her cat but when the plots of her fictional books - which center on secret agent Argylle (Henry Cavill) and his mission to unravel a global spy syndicate - begin to mirror the actions of a real-life spy organization, quiet evenings at home become a thing of the past.

Was very well received earlier this year in Sundance.

Napoleon     HD720 32MB
A second trailer for the latest movie directed by Ridley Scott (Gladiator, Kingdom of Heaven, Robin Hood). This time it's a historical drama about Napoleon (Joaquin Phoenix). It takes a personal look at the French military leader’s origins and swift, ruthless climb to emperor. The story is viewed through the prism of Napoleon’s addictive, volatile relationship with his wife and one true love, Josephine (Vanessa Kirby).
Looks pretty monumental. Apple co-produced, and IMDb quotes Ridley Scott that a four-hour director's cut will later be released on Apple TV+.

Priscilla     HD720p 22MB
Biographical drama directed by Sofia Coppola (Marie Antoinette, Lost in Translation, The Virgin Suicides). When teenage Priscilla Beaulieu (Cailee Spaeny) meets Elvis Presley (Jacob Elordi) at a party, the man who is already a meteoric rock-and-roll superstar becomes someone entirely unexpected in private moments: a thrilling crush, an ally in loneliness, a vulnerable best friend.

Spaeny won the best actress award for her performance last month in Venice.

American Fiction     HD720p 27MB
Satire about the commodification of marginalized voices and a portrait of an artist forced to re-examine his integrity. Monk (Jeffrey Wright) is a frustrated novelist who’s fed up with the establishment profiting from “Black” entertainment that relies on tired and offensive tropes. To prove his point, Monk uses a pen name to write an outlandish “Black” book of his own, a book that propels him to the heart of hypocrisy and the madness he claims to disdain. Tracee Ellis Ross, John Ortiz, Issa Rae, Sterling K. Brown and Adam Brody are also part of the cast.
Won the People's Choice Award last month in Toronto.

Fingernails     HD1080p 15MB

Satirical crime drama about capitalism run amok inspired by true events.

Catherine O'Hara, Andy Garcia, Chloe Coleman, Jay Duplass and Brian d'Arcy James are also part of the cast. Directed by David Yates (Harry Potter franchise, Fantastic Beasts franchise, The Legend of Tarzan).
Festival reviews are surprisingly bad, many noting that despite a noteworthy performance by Blunt, the movie isn't able to tonally deal with the consequences of the opioid epidemic. Will start streaming on Netflix October 27th.

May December     Tlr1 HD1080p 30MB    Tlr2 HD1080p 29MB
Complicated drama inspired by true events directed by Todd Haynes (Carol, I'm Not There, Dark Waters). Elizabeth (Natalie Portman), a popular television star, has arrived in a tight-knit island community in Savannah. Here, she will be doing intimate research for a new part, ingratiating herself into the lives of Gracie (Julianne Moore), whom she’ll be playing on-screen, and her much younger husband, Joe (Charles Melton), to better understand the psychology and circumstances that more than 20 years ago made them notorious tabloid figures. As Elizabeth attempts to get closer to the family, the uncomfortable facts of their scandal unfurl, causing difficult, long-dormant emotions to resurface.

Dream Scenario     HD720p 36MB
Satire in which hapless family man Paul Matthews (Nicolas Cage) finds his life turned upside down when millions of strangers suddenly start seeing him in their dreams. As in life, his presence in these dreams is banal and non-intrusive - he’s simply there. But when his nighttime appearances take a nightmarish turn, he's forced to navigate his newfound stardom. Julianne Nicholson, Michael Cera, Tim Meadows, Dylan Gelula and Dylan Baker are also part of the cast. Written and directed by Norwegian Kristoffer Borgli (Sick of Myself).
Looks very funny. Festival reviews are also very favourable, many considering Cage's performance his best in years.

The Caine Mutiny Court-Martial     HD1080p 11MB
Courtroom drama more influenced by the novel and the Broadway play than the previous film. When a U.S. Naval captain (Kiefer Sutherland) shows signs of mental instability that jeopardizes the safety of his ship, the first officer (Jake Lacy) relieves him of command and faces court-martial for mutiny. Greenwald (Jason Clarke), a skeptic lawyer, reluctantly defends Maryk, an officer of the navy who took control of the vessel from its dominant captain Queeg whilst caught in a violent sea storm. The final film of William Friedkin (The French Connection, The Exorcist, To Live and Die in L.A.). It's also one of the last roles of Lance Reddick, which seems even harder to believe.
Looks very tense. Will start streaming on Paramount+ October 6th.

The Delinquents - Los delincuentes     HD720p 24MB
Comedic heist drama from Argentina that probes the maddening divide between work and life. A scheme to break free from the obligations of society is hatched between two bank clerks. After one robs the bank where they work, the other serves as his accessory in concealing the stolen funds.
Very interesting premise. Will probably become very popular among bank tellers. Though it should be mentioned that it has a three hours running time.

All of Us Strangers     HD720p 27MB
Heartfelt drama directed by Andrew Haigh (45 Years, Weekend). One night in his near-empty tower block in contemporary London, Adam (Andrew Scott) has a chance encounter with a mysterious neighbor Harry (Paul Mescal), which punctures the rhythm of his everyday life.

Festival reviews are highly favourable.

The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes     HD720p 39MB

With his livelihood threatened, he's reluctantly assigned to mentor Lucy Gray Baird (Rachel Zegler), a tribute from the impoverished District 12. But after her charm captivates the audience of Panem, Snow sees an opportunity to shift their fates. Peter Dinklage, Jason Schwartzman and Viola Davis are also part of the cast. Directed by Francis Lawrence (Red Sparrow, Constantine, I Am Legend), who also directed most of the previous instalments.
Viola Davis and Dinklage make it interesting.

To defeat him, Aquaman will turn to his imprisoned brother Orm (Patrick Wilson), the former King of Atlantis, to forge an unlikely alliance.

Gary (Jamie Foxx) to save his family business. Tempers flare and laughter ensues as the unlikely pair bond while exposing corporate corruption and racial injustice.

Looks like an entertaining crowd-pleaser. After a brief theatrical run, will start streaming on amazon October 13th.

The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar     HD720p 16MB
Aptly short trailer for a 37-minute short directed by Wes Anderson (The Grand Budapest Hotel, Moonrise Kingdom, Fantastic Mr. Fox) based on a story by Roald Dahl. It's about a rich man (Benedict Cumberbatch) who learns about a guru (Ben Kingsley) who can see without using his eyes and then sets out to master the skill in order to cheat at gambling. Dev Patel, Rupert Friend and Richard Ayoade are also part of the cast. Ralph Fiennes narrates.
Given that Anderson's most recent movies felt a bit like overload, a shorter film seems like a very good fit. Festival reviews seem to agree. Will start streaming on Netflix September 27th.

In the Land of Saints and Sinners     HD1080p 29MB
Thriller drama set in Ireland, 1970s. Eager to leave his dark past behind, Finbar Murphy (Liam Neeson) leads a quiet life in the remote coastal town of Glencolmcille, far from the political violence that grips the rest of the country. When a menacing crew of terrorists arrive, led by a ruthless woman named Doirean (Kerry Condon), he soon discovers that one of them has been abusing a local young girl. Drawn into an increasingly vicious game of cat and mouse, Finbar must choose between exposing his secret identity or defending his friends and neighbours. Ciarán Hinds, Jack Gleeson and Colm Meaney are also part of the cast.
According to festival reviews uses a lot of familiar characters and Irish clichés, but at least the cast is authentic.

The Royal Hotel     HD720p 22MB
Thriller drama about Americans Hanna (Julia Garner) and Liv (Jessica Henwick), two best friends backpacking in Australia. After they run out of money, Liv, looking for an adventure, convinces Hanna to take a temporary live-in job behind the bar of a pub called 'The Royal Hotel' in a remote Outback mining town. Bar owner Billy (Hugo Weaving) and a host of locals give the girls a riotous introduction to Down Under drinking culture but soon the girls find themselves trapped in an unnerving situation that grows rapidly out of their control. Movie reunites Garner with director Kitty Green (The Assistant).
Apparently based on a real story.
