Coyote vs. Acme HD720p 26MBAnimated-life action hybrid based on the cartoon characters. After decades of being blown to bits by bombs, demolished by dynamite, mangled by magnets, battered by boulders, trampled by trains, tricked by tunnels, sprung by springs, steamrolled by steamrollers, maligned by misfires, bedeviled by bungees, rattled by rockets, backstabbed by bat suits, rocked by rocket skates, upended by unicycles, quaked by quake pills, rubberized by rogue bands, and hurled headlong off every cliff in the Southwest, Wile E. Coyote finally fights back. Teaming up with billboard accident lawyer Kevin Avery (Will Forte), he takes on slick corporate counsel Buddy Crane (John Cena) and ACME, Inc., the profit-obsessed conglomerate behind every one of the Coyote’s chaotic catastrophes. Lana Condor is also part of the cast. Directed by Dave Green (
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows).
Originally shelved by Warner Bros. because for them it was
dead more valuable than alive from an accounting perspective. Distributing rights were later sold to an indie distributor.

It's not
Bonnie and Clyde, but festival reviews are mostly favourable.
Mexiko 86 HD1080p 36MBComedic drama that tells the story of Martín de la Torre (Diego Luna), who found a way to climb all the way to the top and bring the 1986 World Cup to Mexico by any means necessary using nothing but ingenuity, audacity, and zero scruples. Because if you can’t win on the pitch… there are always other ways to play.
No idea how much of this is "inspired by a true story", but it looks quite entertaining. Though I sure hope the movie won't hint at any unsavoury conduct like, let's say, corruption, in connection with the organisation that invented the FIFA Peace Prize. Will start streaming on Netflix June 5th.
Remarkably Bright Creatures HD1080p 31MBUplifting drama based on the novel by Shelby Van Pelt.
