Mystery drama about two young men who meet in a twin support group and form an unlikely friendship. Roman (Dylan O'Brien) and Dennis (James Sweeney) both search for solace and an identity without their other halves and soon become inseparable outside the group.

Lauren Graham is also part of the cast. It's also written and directed by Sweeney (Straight Up).
Apparently has a number of twists that thankfully the trailer doesn't seem to reveal. The movie was very well received at Sundance this year where it won the Audience Award.

Thriller drama inspired by real events during one of America’s deadliest wildfires. It's about a wayward school bus driver (Matthew McConaughey) and a dedicated school teacher (America Ferrera) who battle to save 22 children from the terrifying inferno.

After a brief theatrical run, will start streaming on Apple TV+ October 3rd.

Quiet relationship drama that also serves as a love letter to that borough in New York City about a writer (André Holland) who navigates complicated relationships with his ex, an art gallery owner (Nicole Beharie), and his current lover, a newly-single mother (DeWanda Wise), with the support of his best friend (Roy Wood Jr.).

Avatar: Fire and Ash    HD720p 35MB HD1080p 86MB
First trailer for the third installment of the 3D CGI franchise, listed to have a running time of 3h 12m, to be in theatres this Christmas, again directed by James Cameron (Titanic, True Lies, The Terminator). Jake (Sam Worthington) and Neytiri (Zoe Saldaña)'s family grapples with grief after Neteyam's death, encountering a new, aggressive Na'vi tribe, the Ash People, who are led by the fiery Varang (Oona Chaplin), as the conflict on Pandora escalates and a new moral focus emerges. Sigourney Weaver, Stephen Lang, Kate Winslet, Jemaine Clement and Cliff Curtis also return.
The fourth and fifth movie are currently scheduled to be released in 2029 and 2031. I find it hard to believe that this is part of one of the most successful franchises of all time.

One Battle After Another    HD720p 34MB
Second full 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 again looks great, but it continues to be difficult to categorise the whole film. Darkly comedic political thriller pared with some family drama. It will be 2h 50m long, so even with this trailer there should still be ample new footage left.

Good Fortune    HD720p 29MB
Variation of a body swap comedy in which a well-meaning but rather inept angel (Keanu Reeves) meddles in the lives of a struggling gig worker (Aziz Ansari) and a wealthy venture capitalist (Seth Rogen). Keke Palmer and Sandra Oh are also part of the cast. It's also written by Ansari and marks his directorial debut.
The cast may make it work. An earlier, funny teaser: HD720p 12MB

The Baltimorons    HD1080p 25MB
Comedic, romantic drama directed by Jay Duplass (Cyrus, Jeff Who Lives at Home) who usually makes films with his brother. After cracking a tooth on Christmas Eve, newly sober Cliff (Michael Strassner) embarks on an adventure through Baltimore with Didi (Liz Larsen), his emergency dentist.
Was very well received at indie festivals.

Spinal Tap II: The End Continues     HD720p 33MB
Forty-one years after the release of the groundbreaking mockumentary This Is Spinal Tap, the now estranged bandmates David St. Hubbins, Nigel Tufnel, and Derek Smalls (Michael McKean, Christopher Guest, and Harry Shearer) are forced to reunite for one final concert. Documentarian Marty Di Bergi (Rob Reiner), who once again tries to capture his favorite metal gods as they contemplate mortality - and the hope that their 12th drummer doesn’t join them in The Great Beyond. There will be a boatload of cameos, Rob Reiner (When Harry Met Sally..., A Few Good Men, The Princess Bride) again directs.
Gives me the opportunity to ask if you knew that the rating scale on IMDb for the first movie goes to 11?

After the Hunt    HD720p 23MB
Intense trailer for the latest movie directed by Luca Guadagnino (Call Me By Your Name, Challengers, Queer). It's a thriller drama in which a college professor (Julia Roberts) finds herself at a personal and professional crossroads when a star pupil (Ayo Edebiri) levels an accusation against one of her colleagues (Andrew Garfield) and a dark secret from her own past threatens to come to light. Chloë Sevigny and Michael Stuhlbarg are also part of the cast.
It's distributed by Amazon MGM Studios, so after a theatrical release in October it will probably start streaming on Prime soon afterwards.

Hoppers     HD720p 22MB
Funny early teaser trailer for the latest animated Pixar movie, to be in theatres next March. Scientists have discovered how to “hop” human consciousness into lifelike robotic animals, allowing people to communicate with animals as animals! Using the new technology, Mabel (Piper Curda) will uncover mysteries within the animal world that are beyond anything she could have imagined. Bobby Moynihan and Jon Hamm will also lend their voices.

Tron: Ares    HD720p 35MB
Full trailer for another sequel. Plot summary reads: A highly sophisticated program, Ares (Jared Leto), is sent from the digital world into the real world on a dangerous mission. Jeff Bridges will return, also part of the cast are Greta Lee, Sarah Desjardins, Gillian Anderson, Evan Peters, Cameron Monaghan and Jodie Turner-Smith. Directed by Joachim Rønning (Young Woman and the Sea, Kon-Tiki, Maleficent: Mistress of Evil).
Starting to look like the average superhero movie.

Dreams    HD1080p 11MB
Trailer from the Czech Republic for the latest uncomfortable drama written and directed by Michel Franco (Sundown, Chronic, Memory). It's about Fernando (Isaac Hernández), a young ballet dancer from Mexico, who dreams of international fame and life in the US. Believing that his lover Jennifer (Jessica Chastain), a socialite and philanthropist, will support him, he leaves everything behind and narrowly escapes death while crossing the border. His arrival, however, disrupts Jennifer’s carefully curated world. She will do anything to protect their future together – and the life she has built for herself. Rupert Friend is also part of the cast.

Predator: Badlands    HD720p 14MB
Alien sci-fi movie set in the future on a remote planet, where a young Predator (Dimitrius Schuster-Koloamatangi), outcast from his clan, finds an unlikely ally in Thia (Elle Fanning) and embarks on a treacherous journey in search of the ultimate adversary. Directed by Dan Trachtenberg (10 Cloverfield Lane, Prey).
What may make this movie interesting (for some) is the fact that the android Thia apparently is created by the Weyland-Yutani bio-weapons division, hinting at another attempt to merge the universes of Predator and Alien.

I have seen the future.

And it doesn't make sense.
