trailer_spotThe Thursday Murder Club HD1080p 26MB
Crime-comedy in which four irrepressible retirees (Helen Mirren, Pierce Brosnan, Ben Kingsley, Celia Imrie) spend their time solving cold case murders for fun, but their casual sleuthing takes a thrilling turn when they find themselves with a real whodunit on their hands. David Tennant, Jonathan Pryce, Naomi Ackie, Daniel Mays and Tom Ellis are also part of the cast. Directed by Chris Columbus (Home Alone, Mrs. Doubtfire, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone).
That looks entertaining. Will start streaming on Netflix August 28th.
Jay Kelly HD1080p 21MB
Teaser trailer for this comedic drama in which famous movie actor Jay Kelly (George Clooney) and his devoted manager (Adam Sandler) embark on a whirlwind and unexpectedly profound journey. Both are forced to confront choices they've made, their relationships with loved ones and the legacies they'll leave behind. Also part of the extensive cast are Laura Dern, Billy Crudup, Riley Keough, Grace Edwards, Stacy Keach, Jim Broadbent, Patrick Wilson, Eve Hewson, Greta Gerwig, Alba Rohrwacher, Emily Mortimer and Isla Fisher. I also spotted Lars Eidinger. Directed by Noah Baumbach (Marriage Story, Greenberg, Frances Ha), interestingly, co-written by him and Mortimer.
Will take part in the official competition in Venice later this month (full festival line-up). And after a theatrical run in November will start streaming on Netflix December 5th.
If I Had Legs I’d Kick You HD720p 33MB
Darkly comedic psychological drama about a working mother (Rose Byrne) at her wits’ end. When her ceiling literally comes crashing down on her, she is forced to face yet another crisis, staying in a motel with her young daughter while she navigates how to fix the hole in her ceiling, her child’s illness, a missing patient, and an increasingly hostile relationship with her therapist (Conan O'Brien). Danielle Macdonald and A$AP Rocky are also part of the cast.
Byrne won the Best Leading Performance award earlier this year in Berlin. And I think we'll hear more about her during awards season in the US in the coming months.
The Choral HD720p 33MB
Drama with some comedic elements set in 1916. As war rages on the Western Front, the Choral Society in Ramsden, Yorkshire has lost most of its men to the army. It's ambitious committee decides to recruit local young males to swell their ranks. They must also engage a new chorus master, and despite their suspicions that he has something to hide, their best bet seems to be Dr. Henry Guthrie (Ralph Fiennes) – driven, uncompromising, and recently returned from a career in Germany. As conscription papers start to arrive, the whole community discovers that the best response to the chaos that is laying waste to their lives is to make music together. Roger Allam, Mark Addy and Simon Russell Beale are also part of the cast. Directed by Nicholas Hytner (The History Boys, The Lady in the Van, The Crucible).
Can someone explain to me why Ralph Fiennes hasn't won an Oscar yet?
Rental Family HD720p 29MB
Comedic drama set against modern-day Tokyo, in which an American actor (Brendan Fraser) struggles to find purpose until he lands an unusual gig: working for a Japanese "rental family" agency, playing stand-in roles for strangers. As he immerses himself in his clients’ worlds, he begins to form genuine bonds that blur the lines between performance and reality.
Will probably be very emotional.
