Trailer Spotting

Desperate to save his sick daughter, working-class Ben Richards (Glen Powell) is convinced by the show’s charming but ruthless producer, Dan Killian (Josh Brolin), to enter the game as a last resort. But Ben’s defiance, instincts, and grit turn him into an unexpected fan favorite - and a threat to the entire system. Also part of the cast are Colman Domingo, Michael Cera, Katy O’Brian, Jayme Lawson, Karl Glusman, Lee Pace, Emilia Jones and William H. Macy.
I've never seen the original.

Relay     HD720p 32MB
Conspiracy thriller about a world-class "fixer" (Riz Ahmed) who specializes in brokering lucrative payoffs between corrupt corporations and the individuals who threaten their ruin. He keeps his identity a secret through meticulous planning and always follows an exacting set of rules. But when a message arrives one day from a potential client (Lily James) needing his protection just to stay alive, the rules quickly start to change. Sam Worthington is also part of the cast. Directed by David Mackenzie (Hell or High Water, Perfect Sense, Hallam Foe).
According to festival reviews goes a little overboard towards the end, but this looks promising.

Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale     HD1080p 25MB
Full trailer for the third movie based on the characters of the TV series. It follows the Crawley family and their staff as they enter the 1930s. When Mary (Michelle Dockery) finds herself at the center of a public scandal and the family faces financial trouble, the entire household grapples with the threat of social disgrace.

New additions are Paul Giamatti, Alessandro Nivola and Joely Richardson. Again directed by Simon Curtis (Woman in Gold, My Week with Marilyn, Goodbye Christopher Robin).

Sentimental Value - Affeksjonsverdi     HD720p 28MB
Family drama from Norway in which sisters Nora (Renate Reinsve) and Agnes (Inga Ibsdotter Lilleaas) reunite with their estranged father (Stellan Skarsgård9, a once-renowned director who offers stage actress Nora a role in what he hopes will be his comeback film.

Was awarded the Grand Prize this year in Cannes, where it received mostly very favourable reviews.

Apocalypse in the Tropics     HD1080p 36MB
Documentary that investigates the increasingly powerful grip that faith leaders hold over politics in Brazil. It gained extraordinary access to the country’s top political leaders, including President Lula and former President Bolsonaro, as well as to Brazil’s most famous televangelist: a larger-than-life pastor who plays the puppet master to the far-right leader.
It's a global disease. Will start streaming on Netflix July 14th.

Eddington     HD720p 35MB
Satirical drama set in May of 2020 (the early stages of the Corona pandemic), a standoff between a small-town sheriff (Joaquin Phoenix) and mayor (Pedro Pascal) sparks a powder keg as neighbor is pitted against neighbor in Eddington, New Mexico. Austin Butler and Emma Stone are also part of the cast. Written and directed by Ari Aster (Beau is Afraid, Midsommar, Hereditary).
Premiered last month in Cannes, where it received some mixed reviews. Cast is top-notch. But I don't find the trailer particularly compelling. But I feel obliged to point out that the movie brings together Ridley Scott's Gladiators.

Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere     HD720p 29MB
Biopic that chronicles the making of Bruce Springsteen's (Jeremy Allen White) 1982 “Nebraska” album, a raw, haunted acoustic record that marked a pivotal time in his life and is considered one of his most enduring works. It also stars Jeremy Strong as Springsteen’s long-time confidant and manager, Jon Landau; Paul Walter Hauser as guitar tech Mike Batlan; Stephen Graham and Gaby Hoffman as Springsteen’s parents, and also Odessa Young, Marc Maron and David Krumholtz.

Also part of the cast are Pamela Anderson, Paul Walter Hauser, CCH Pounder, Kevin Durand and Danny Huston. Directed by Akiva Schaffer (The Watch, Hot Rod, Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping)
I wonder how funny I would find the original when watching it again today.

The Toxic Avenger     HD720p 39MB
Redband trailer for this gory action comedy, the remake of an old Troma film. When a downtrodden janitor (Peter Dinklage) is exposed to a catastrophic toxic accident, he’s transformed into a new kind of hero: The Toxic Avenger. Now, he must rise from outcast to savior, taking on ruthless corporate overlords and corrupt forces who threaten his son, his friends, and his community. In a world where greed runs rampant… justice is best served radioactive. Jacob Tremblay, Taylour Paige, Elijah Wood and Kevin Bacon area also part of the cast. Directed by Macon Blair (I Don't Feel at Home in This World Anymore).
While Dinklage voices both characters, the Avenger character under heavy make-up apparently gets played by Luisa Guerreiro. The movie was already being well received at genre festivals in 2023, it will now finally get a theatrical release in August.

Spaceballs 2     HD720p 21MB
An announcement trailer for the sequel. It's currently set to be in theatres in 2027, the year in which Mel Brooks will (hopefully) turn 101.
That fact alone would justify mentioning the film. But the teaser is actually quite funny.

Caught Stealing     HD720p 35MB
Darkly comedic crime thriller directed by Darren Aronofsky (Black Swan, The Fountain, Mother!). Hank Thompson (Austin Butler) was a high-school baseball phenom who can’t play anymore, but everything else is going okay. He’s got a great girl (Zoë Kravitz), tends bar at a New York dive, and his favorite team is making an underdog run at the pennant. When his punk-rock neighbor (Matt Smith) asks him to take care of his cat for a few days, he suddenly finds himself caught in the middle of a motley crew of threatening gangsters. They all want a piece of him; the problem is he has no idea why. Regina King, Live Schreiber, Vincent D’Onofrio and Bad Bunny are also part of the cast.
Looks much different compared to everything Aronofsky has done before.

Superman     HD720p 43MB
Second trailer for the latest Superman re-boot. He must reconcile his alien Kryptonian heritage with his human upbringing as reporter Clark Kent. As the embodiment of truth, justice and the human way he soon finds himself in a world that views these as old-fashioned. Superman will be portrayed by David Corenswet, Rachel Brosnahan is famed reporter Lois Lane, Nicholas Hoult is Lex Luthor. Also part of the cast are Isabela Merced, Nathan Fillion, Wendell Pierce and Alan Tudyk. Directed by James Gunn (Guardians of the Galaxy trilogy, Slither, The Suicide Squad).
Also, a four minute clip followed by one minute of trailer-like footage that was released a few weeks ago: HD720p 70MB.

Nouvelle Vague     HD1080p 31MB
Short trailer for the latest movie directed by Richard Linklater (School of Rock, Everybody Wants Some!!, Hit Man). As you can probably guess, it's an homage to French film making from that era. It tells the story of Jean-Luc Godard making Breathless, told in the style and spirit in which Godard made Breathless. Few of the cast members are well known, with the exception of Zoey Deutch who portrays Jean Seberg.
Currently takes part in the official competition in Cannes where it was very well received. For comparison purposes, the trailer for Breathless/À bout de souffle from 1960.

Americana     HD720p 26MB
Pulpy crime comedy western in which a gallery of dynamic characters clash over the possession of a rare Native American artifact. After the artifact falls onto the black market, a shy waitress with big dreams (Sydney Sweeney) teams up with a lovelorn military veteran (Paul Walter Hauser) to gain possession of it, putting them in the crosshairs of a ruthless criminal (Eric Dane) working on behalf of a Western antiquities dealer (Simon Rex). Bloodshed ensues when others join the battle, including the leader of an indigenous group (Zahn McClarnon) and a desperate woman fleeing her mysterious past (Halsey).
Already premiered at the SXSW Festival in March 2023, where it received very favourable reviews.

Escape from the 21st Century - Cong 21 Shi Ji an Quan Che L     HD720p 27MB
Pretty crazy but fun looking action comedy from China that follows three friends who discover they have the power to travel back and forth 20 years with a sneeze. However, the future is not as good as they hoped, and they need to take on the responsibility of saving the world.
The association sets up expectations too high, but as a reference, think Everything Everywhere All At Once and Scott Pilgrim vs. the World. Was apparently already released in the UK earlier this year.

Everything’s Going to Be Great     HD720p 23MB
Comedic drama about couple Buddy and Macy Smart (Bryan Cranston, Allison Janney) for which there’s no business like show business, and that means an unpredictable life in regional theater while trying to raise their radically different sons. Through it all, Buddy pursues his unstoppable dreams, and Macy is left to pull it all together and keep the family afloat. As the family grapples with identity and belonging, they share a humorous and heartfelt journey of self-discovery, learning the power of owning your spotlight, no matter what stage of life you’re in. Simon Rex and Chris Cooper are also part of the cast. Directed by Jon S. Baird (Tetris, Stan & Ollie, Filth).

Honey Don't!     HD720p 35MB
Dark comedy film about Honey O’Donahue (Margaret Qualley), a small-town private investigator, who delves into a series of strange deaths tied to a mysterious church. Also part of the cast are Aubrey Plaza, Charlie Day and Chris Evans.
After Drive-Away Dolls this will be the second movie from Ethan Coen (Raising Arizona, Fargo, Burn After Reading) of what has been described as a "lesbian B-movie trilogy". Maybe it's just me, but I think that makes it all a bit awkward.
Will premiere later this month as an out-of-competition midnight screening in Cannes. A look at the festival selection.

Echo Valley     HD1080p 21MB
Thriller about a mother (Julianne Moore) and daughter (Sydney Sweeney) who are bound by a dark secret. Kate is a mother struggling to make peace with her troubled daughter Claire - a situation that becomes even more perilous when she shows up on Kate’s doorstep, hysterical and covered in someone else’s blood. As Kate pieces together the shocking truth of what happened, she learns just how far a mother will go to try to save her child. Kyle MacLachlan, Domhnall Gleeson and Fiona Shaw are also part of the cast.
Will start streaming on Apple TV+ starting June 13th.

Together     HD720p 31MB
Body horror movie about codependent couple Tim and Millie (Dave Franco, Alison Brie) who, years into their relationship, find themselves at a crossroads as they move to the country, abandoning all that is familiar in their lives except each other. With tensions already flaring a nightmarish encounter with a mysterious, unnatural force threatens to corrupt their lives, their love, and their flesh.
Horror is not my genre. If I want to be scared I just read the news. But I thought I include it because of favourable festival reviews and the real life couple Brie and Franco. An earlier teaser: HD720p 20MB.

Sorry, Baby     HD720p 24MB
Drama with some deadpan humour that won the screenwriting award this year in Sundance where it was very well received. Something bad happened to Agnes (Eva Victor). But life goes on - for everyone around her, at least. Naomi Ackie, Lucas Hedges and John Carroll Lynch are also part of the cast. Victor also wrote and directed the film.

The Roses     HD720p 35MB
Trailer for this British-flavoured remake of the dark divorce comedy The War of the Roses. Life seems easy for picture-perfect couple Ivy (Olivia Colman) and Theo (Benedict Cumberbatch), successful careers, a loving marriage, great kids. But beneath the façade of their supposed ideal life, a storm is brewing – as Theo’s career nosedives while Ivy’s own ambitions take off, a tinderbox of fierce competition and hidden resentment ignites. Allison Janney, Andy Samberg, Ncuti Gatwa, Kate McKinnon, Sunita Mani and Zoë Chao are also part of the cast. Directed by Jay Roach (Bombshell, Meet the Parents, Austin Powers).

Hallow Road     HD720p 11MB
Tense thriller drama that predominantly takes place in real time in a car about two parents (Rosamund Pike, Matthew Rhys) who receive a distressing late-night call from their teenage daughter, who has just accidentally hit a pedestrian. They jump in their car, racing to get there before anyone else stumbles across the scene. As they head deeper into the night, disturbing revelations threaten to tear the family apart as they soon realize they might not be the only ones driving down Hallow Road.

28 Years Later     HD720p 30MB
A second trailer for the third, intense zombie movie set in the same world as 28 Days Later. It’s been almost 30 years since the rage virus escaped a biological weapons laboratory, and now, still in a ruthlessly enforced quarantine, some have found ways to exist alongside the infected. One group of survivors lives on a small island connected to the mainland by a single causeway. However, when one of them leaves on a mission, he discovers secrets that have mutated not only the infected but other survivors too. Cast members include Jodie Comer, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Jack O'Connell and Ralph Fiennes.
Reunites from the first film director Danny Boyle (Slumdog Millionaire, Sunshine, The Beach) and screenwriter Alex Garland (Ex Machina, Annihilation, Civil War). A short featurette in which the two talk about the film: HD720p 32MB.

The Fantastic Four: First Steps     HD720p 36MB
Full trailer for another superhero franchise reboot. Marvel's First Family (Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby, Joseph Quinn, Ebon Moss-Bachrach) face their most daunting challenge yet. Forced to balance their roles as heroes with the strength of their family bond, they must defend Earth from a ravenous space god called Galactus (Ralph Ineson) and his herald, Silver Surfer (Julia Garner). Also part of the cast are John Malkovich, Paul Walter Hauser, Natasha Lyonne, Mark Gatiss and Sarah Niles. Directed by Matt Shakman ("WandaVision", "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia").
Still reminds me of the The Incredibles.

Another Simple Favor     HD720p 34MB
Trailer for the sequel. Stephanie Smothers (Anna Kendrick) and Emily Nelson (Blake Lively) reunite on the beautiful island of Capri, Italy, for Emily’s extravagant wedding to a rich Italian businessman. Along with the glamorous guests, expect murder and betrayal to RSVP for a wedding with more twists and turns than the road from the Marina Grande to the Capri town square. Andrew Rannells, Elizabeth Perkins, Henry Golding and Allison Janney are also part of the cast. Again directed by Paul Feig (Bridesmaids, Jackpot!, Spy).
Will start streaming on Amazon Prime May 1st. An earlier teaser: HD720p 22MB.

One Battle After Another     HD720p 36MB
Trailer of the latest movie written and directed by Paul Thomas Anderson (There Will Be Blood, Phantom Thread, Inherent Vice). When their evil enemy resurfaces after 16 years, a group of ex-revolutionaries (Leonardo DiCaprio, Benicio del Toro, Sean Penn, Regina Hall, Teyana Taylor) reunites to rescue one of their own's daughter.
Trailer looks great, but I'm not sure how representative it is of the whole film which itself seems hard to categorise. For now I would say it's a darkly comedic political thriller. But there also seems to be a touch of family drama.

Fountain of Youth     HD1080p 25MB
Action-adventure that follows two estranged siblings (John Krasinski, Natalie Portman) who partner on a global heist to find the mythological Fountain of Youth. They must use their knowledge of history to follow clues on an epic adventure that will change their lives … and possibly lead to immortality.

Will start streaming on Apple TV+ starting May 23rd.

Elio     HD720p 35MB
For centuries, people have called out to the universe looking for answers - in this animated film from Disney/Pixar the universe calls back! The cosmic misadventure introduces Elio, a 11-year-old space fanatic with an active imagination and a huge alien obsession. So, when he's beamed up to the Communiverse, an interplanetary organization with representatives from galaxies far and wide, he's all in for the epic undertaking. Mistakenly identified as Earth’s leader, he must form new bonds with eccentric alien lifeforms, navigate a crisis of intergalactic proportions, and somehow discover who and where he is truly meant to be. Better known voice cast members are Zoe Saldaña, Jameela Jamil, Brad Garrett and Shirley Henderson.
Looks quite funny. Movie got delayed for various reasons. A first trailer from June 2023: Tsr 1080p 30MB.

Shadow Force     HD720p 33MB
Action movie about Kyrah (Kerry Washington) and Isaac (Omar Sy) who were once the leaders of a multinational special forces group called Shadow Force. They broke the rules by falling in love, and in order to protect their son, they go underground.

Directed by Joe Carnahan (The A-Team, Smokin' Aces, The Grey).
Action films about married spies are becoming a bit inflationary.

The Friend     HD720p 32MB
To counterbalance all the action, trailer for a touching drama about writer and teacher Iris (Naomi Watts) who finds her comfortable, solitary New York life thrown into disarray after her closest friend and mentor (Bill Murray) leaves her his beloved 150 lb. Great Dane. The regal yet intractable beast, named Apollo, immediately creates practical problems for Iris, from furniture destruction to eviction notices, as well as more existential ones. Constance Wu, Carla Gugino, Ann Dowd, Sarah Pidgeon and Josh Pais are also part of the cast. Written and directed by Scott McGehee and David Siegel (The Deep End, Uncertainty, What Maisie Knew).
Already in theatrical release in the US.

Thirty years later, he’s a nomadic racer-for-hire when he’s approached by his former teammate Ruben Cervantes (Javier Bardem), owner of a struggling FORMULA 1 team that is on the verge of collapse. He convinces Sonny to come back for one last shot at saving the team and being the best in the world. He’ll drive alongside Joshua Pearce (Damson Idris), the team's hotshot rookie intent on setting his own pace. Kerry Condon, Tobias Menzies and Kim Bodnia are also part of the cast. Directed by Joseph Kosinski (Top Gun: Maverick, Oblivion, TRON: Legacy).
Tries its best to convince us that even at 61 you can still be a competitive Formula 1 racecar driver. An earlier teaser that was released last July: HD720p 23MB.

The Electric State     Tlr1 HD4080p 26MB    Tlr2 HD1080p 23MB
Action adventure set in a retro-futuristic past that follows Michelle (Millie Bobby Brown), an orphaned teenager who traverses the American West in search of her younger brother. Joining her on the journey is a sweet but mysterious robot and an eccentric drifter (Chris Pratt).

Directed by Anthony Russo and Joe Russo (The Gray Man, Welcome to Collinwood, You Me and Dupree, and a couple of Marvel movies).
Reviews are about as bad as one would expect. Two trailers to choose from. Starts streaming on Netflix today, March 14th.

Eden     HD1080p 32MB
Survival thriller drama that follows a group high-minded Europeans who seek a new life on a previously uninhabited island in the Galápagos, only to discover that hell is other people. Dr. Friedrich Ritter (Jude Law) and his partner Dora Strauch (Vanessa Kirby) flee their native Germany in 1929, repudiating the bourgeois values they believe are corroding mankind’s true nature. Friedrich wants to focus on writing his manifesto, while Dora resolves to cure her multiple sclerosis through meditation. They are joined by Margaret (Sydney Sweeney) and Heinz Wittmer (Daniel Bruehl), who prove to be earnest, capable settlers. Next comes Eloise Bosquet de Wagner Wehrhorn (Ana de Armas) a self-described Baroness and the “embodiment of perfection,” who arrives with two devoted lovers, an Ecuadorian servant, a wardrobe full of evening gowns, and plans to erect a luxury hotel. Directed by Ron Howard (<i>A Beautiful Mind</i>, <i>Apollo 13</i>, <i>Frost/Nixon</i>).
Festival reviews are very mixed. Judging by the trailer, despite the cast, it's a little difficult to take it seriously. Jude Law seems to do his best Udo Kier impression.
Looks like it will at one point start streaming at amazon, but it found a German distributor first, hence the German subtitles.

How to Train Your Dragon     HD720p 36MB
Disney is practising it for decades, now DreamWorks is recycling their intellectual property in the form of a "live-action reimagining". On the rugged isle of Berk, where Vikings and dragons have been bitter enemies for generations, Hiccup (Mason Thames) stands apart. The inventive yet overlooked son of Chief Stoick the Vast (Gerard Butler), he defies centuries of tradition when he befriends Toothless, a feared Night Fury dragon.

Sister Midnight     YouTube

At odds with her prying neighbors and under the constant oppressive noise and heat of the city, she decides to break free from the shackles of domesticity and follow her own path.
I'm unable to include a downloadable link. But since the theatrical release in the UK starts this weekend I wanted to mention the film.
Edit: Belatedly, downloadable HD1080p 21MB.

G20     HD720p 33MB
Action movie in which the G20 summit comes under siege, and U.S. President Danielle Sutton (Viola Davis) becomes the number one target.

The Actor     HD720p 20MB
Crime mystery that finds Paul Cole (André Holland) stranded in a mysterious small town with no memory of who he is or how he got here. Without a sense of identity or purpose, he starts from scratch and begins courting a local costume designer Edna (Gemma Chan). As bits and pieces of his past slowly emerge, he attempts to find his way home, but time is slippery, appearances can't be trusted, and it's unclear which of his identities is real. May Calamawy, Olwen Fouéré, Toby Jones, Simon McBurney, Joe Cole and Tracey Ullman are also part of the cast.
Plot summary doesn't do the "weirdness" of the trailer justice. You get a better idea when you know that it's directed by Duke Johnson who made Anomalisa together with Charlie Kaufman who is one of the producers of the film.

Freaky Tales     HD1080p 32MB
Gory action comedy set in 1987 Oakland with four interconnected stories. It's a multi-track mixtape of colorful characters — an NBA star (Jay Ellis), a corrupt cop (Ben Mendelsohn), a female rap duo (Normani, Dominique Thorne), teen punks, neo-Nazis, and a debt collector (Pedro Pascal) — on a collision course in a fever dream of showdowns and battles. Written and directed by Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck (Captain Marvel, Half Nelson, It's Kind of a Funny Story).
For better or worse, Tarantino-esque comes to mind.

On Swift Horses     HD720p 24MB
Romantic drama in which Muriel (Daisy Edgar Jones) and her husband Lee (Will Poulter) are beginning a bright new life in California when he returns from the Korean War. But their newfound stability is upended by the arrival of Lee’s charismatic brother, Julius (Jacob Elordi), a wayward gambler with a secret past. A dangerous love triangle quickly forms. When Julius takes off in search of the young card cheat he’s fallen for, Muriel’s longing for something more propels her into a secret life of her own, gambling on racehorses and exploring a love she never dreamed possible.

Mickey 17     HD720p 34MB
Another trailer for this sci-fi comedy about unlikely hero Mickey Barnes (Robert Pattinson) who has found himself in the extraordinary circumstance of working for an employer who demands the ultimate commitment to the job… to die, for a living. Steven Yeun, Naomi Ackie, Toni Collette and Mark Ruffalo are also part of the cast. Directed by Bong Joon-ho (Parasite, Snowpiercer, The Host).
Festival reviews from Berlin are mostly favourable, it surely continuous to look very entertaining.

Comedic, romantic drama that follows an eccentric lottery winner (Tim Key) who lives alone on a remote island and dreams of getting his favorite musicians (Carey Mulligan, Tom Basden) back together. His fantasy quickly turns into reality when the bandmates and former lovers accept his invitation to play a private show at his home on Wallis Island. Old tensions resurface as he tries desperately to salvage his dream gig. Sian Clifford and Akemnji Ndifornyen are also part of the cast.
Reviews this week from Sundance find it as crowd-pleasing and charming as the trailer makes it look like.

Opus     HD720p 32MB
Darkly satirical drama in which a young writer (Ayo Edebiri) is invited to the remote compound of a legendary pop star (John Malkovich) who mysteriously disappeared thirty years ago. Surrounded by the star's cult of sycophants and intoxicated journalists, she finds herself in the middle of his twisted plan.
I thought this had the potential to be very entertaining. But reviews this week from Sundance are mostly bad.

Mr. Nobody Against Putin     HD1080p 37MB
Important documentary about Russia. As Russia launches its full-scale invasion of Ukraine, primary schools across Russia’s hinterlands are transformed into recruitment stages for the war. Facing the ethical dilemma of working in a system defined by propaganda and violence, a brave teacher goes undercover to film what’s really happening in his own school.
After watching the trailer the main question I had was, what's the fate of the teacher Pavel Talankin. YouTube version of the trailer says that he has now left the country.
After seeing the footage from Russia, one should not miss similar tendencies of the American extremist MAGA regime.

You're Cordially Invited     Tlr1 HD720p 37MB    Tlr2 HD720p 19MB

Love Me     HD720p 20MB
Romantic drama set after the end of human civilization. A love story spanning billions of years in which a buoy (Kristen Stewart) and a satellite (Kristen Stewart) meet online long after the extinction of humanity. As they learn what life on Earth was like, they discover themselves and what it means to be alive and in love.
Certainly a unique concept. But trailer reminds me more of a feel-good infomercial than the introduction to a compelling film. Reviews are all over the place. Now in limited release in the US.

Black Bag     HD720p 21MB
Spy drama about legendary intelligence agents George Woodhouse (Michael Fassbender) and his beloved wife Kathryn (Cate Blanchett). When she is suspected of betraying the nation, he faces the ultimate test – loyalty to his marriage or his country. Pierce Brosnan, Naomie Harris, Rege-Jean Page, Marisa Abela, Tom Burke. Directed by Steven Soderbergh (Contagion, Traffic, Haywire).
I get a strong "meta" feeling when watching the trailer. I don't think we are meant to take the story entirely seriously. Given the cast and the director, I'm very much looking forward to it.

Death of a Unicorn     HD720p 33MB
Darkly satirical comedy about a father-daughter duo (Paul Rudd, Jenna Ortega) who hit a unicorn with their car and bring it to the wilderness retreat of a mega-wealthy pharmaceutical CEO (Richard E. Grant). Will Poulter, Téa Leoni, Sunita Mani, Steve Park and Jessica Hynes are also part of the cast.

Novocaine     HD720p 31MB
Action comedy in which everyman Nate (Jack Quaid), who, after the girl of his dreams (Amber Midthunder) is kidnapped, turns his inability to feel pain into an unexpected strength in his fight to get her back.
The movie does seem to make good use of Nate's unusual condition.

Cleaner     HD720p 33MB
Action thriller set in present-day London, in which a group of radical activists take over an energy company's annual gala, seizing 300 hostages in order to expose the corruption of the hosts. Their just cause is hijacked by an extremist (Clive Owen) within their ranks, who is ready to murder everyone in the building to send his anarchic message to the world. It falls to an ex-soldier turned window cleaner (Daisy Ridley) suspended 50 stories up on the outside of Nakatomi Plaza the building, to save those trapped inside, including her younger brother. Directed by Martin Campbell (Green Lantern, Casino Royale, The Mask of Zorro).

Warfare     HD720p 33MB
War movie that embeds audiences with a platoon of American Navy SEALs in the home of an Iraqi family, overwatching the movement of US forces through insurgent territory. A visceral, boots-on-the-ground story of modern warfare, told in real time and based on the memory of the people who lived it. Co-written and directed by Alex Garland (Civil War , Ex Machina, Annihilation) and Ray Mendoza, an Iraq War veteran.
While I'm not really interested in a movie about the Iraq War told from the US perspective, it does seem intend to show what war is like.
