Must Watch: First Teaser for Christopher Nolan's WWII Film 'Dunkirk'
It's time for our first glimpse at Nolan's new World War II movie. Warner Bros has released the first short teaser trailer for Christopher Nolan's WWII action thriller titled Dunkirk, about the Dunkirk evacuation in 1940. When Allied soldiers from Belgium, Britain and France were surrounded by the German army during a fierce battle in France at the start of World War II, they figured out how to evacuate as many as possible by boat across the English channel. The full cast includes Mark Rylance, Tom Hardy, Cillian Murphy, Kenneth Branagh, James D'Arcy, Harry Styles, Aneurin Barnard, Jack Lowden, Adam Long. As expected, this looks epic in scale and it still has the gritty Nolan feel to it. I can't wait to see more from this.
First Trailer for Trippy Midnight Film 'Antibirth' with Natasha Lyonne
"Yeah I don't think anyone's seen something like this before…" IFC Midnight has released a trailer for the weird Sundance Midnight film Antibirth, a wacky drug-trip-gone-wrong horror-comedy starring Natasha Lyonne and Chloë Sevigny. The twisted pregnancy plot involves a "wild-eyed stoner" waking up after a seriously "wild night of partying with symptoms of a strange illness and recurring visions as she struggles to get a grip on reality." The full cast includes Meg Tilly, Emmanuel Kabongo, Corey Pascall and Mark Webber. There's some totally frickin' wacky, disgusting and completely insane stuff in this trailer, I don't even know what to make of it. But if you're into trippy, crazy, unlike-anything-else horror - give this a shot.
Must Watch: Trailer for Inspiring Documentary 'The Eagle Huntress'
Witness one girl's dream take flight. Sony Classics has unveiled the first trailer for The Eagle Huntress, directed by Otto Bell, one of my favorite documentaries out of the Sundance FIlm Festival this year. The film follows the story of a young teenage girl in Mongolia named Aisholpan, living in the mountains with her family, who becomes the first ever female "Eagle Hunter" in over 2,000 years male dominance in their culture. Beyond telling an inspiring and exhilarating story, the film features some beautiful cinematography of the Mongolian region where she lives. I was totally enamored by this documentary when I first saw it at Sundance, and I've been raving about it ever since. I hope it finds a big audience here in the US and inspires many others. Oh and to top it off, Daisy Ridley narrates the film and helped produce it as well. Don't miss.
Tatiana Maslany and Dane DeHaan in 'Two Lovers and a Bear' Trailer
"There's a blizzard coming." The first trailer has debuted thanks to TIFF for a film called Two Lovers and a Bear, a relationship drama set in the small town near the North Pole. Tatiana Maslany and Dane DeHaan star as two "star-crossed lovers" and lost souls that end up together at the top of the world. Of course, things can't be perfect and their pasts catch up to them, forcing them to make some rash decisions. There are some shots in this that seem straight out of The Thing, and an actual polar bear makes an appearance a couple of times. How the bears plays into the plot, I don't know, but it's cool to see even though it seems odd. The film didn't get great reviews out of Cannes but a few of you may be interested in it.
Clearing Land Mines in Trailer for Danish WWII Drama 'Land of Mine'
"Do you think I feel sorry for you?" Sony Pictures Classics has debuted an official US trailer for a Danish drama called Land of Mine, set near the end of World War II. The story is about a group of very young German POWs captured by the Danish army who are forced to clear thousand of land mines from a beach. The full cast includes Roland Moller, Mikkel Boe Folsgaard, Louis Hofmann, Joel Basman, Emil Belton, and Oskar Belton. As this trailer shows, the film looks like a very moving and tense story about these boys learning that "the war is far from over" even though they've stopped fighting and firing guns. I like the way the trailer ends with silence, plus that "boom" joke at the end, powerful stuff. Worth a watch.

Watch: Theatrical US Trailer for Danish Comedy Sequel 'Klown Forever'
"You don't know where its tongue's been." Drafthouse Films has unveiled the full theatrical US trailer for the film Klown Forever, the sequel to Danish comedy Klovn: The Movie about two awkward friends who go on a canoe trip together. This next one reunites co-stars and best friends Casper Christensen and Frank Hvam, who take a trip to Los Angeles this time around to seek fame and glory in Hollywood. Casper decides to pursue a solo career in the City of Angels, but Frank follows along in hopes of getting his friend back, and of course there's tons of shenanigans along the way. You know this is solid since Drafthouse Films is releasing it, though it might also be good to catch up with the first Klown before continuing on. Have fun.
Watch: Teaser Trailer for '24X36: A Movie About Movie Posters' Doc
"It's purely a love thing." Snowfort Pictures has revealed an outstanding treaser trailer for the upcoming documentary 24X36: A Movie About Movie Posters, which explains what it's about right in the title. The film is having its world premiere at Fantastic Fest later this fall, the home of Mondo where many of the finest posters nowadays are being made. The documentary examines the love of movie posters old and new, discusses the sad decline of the studio poster today, as well as the rise of the new generation of poster artists and collectors. It features interviews with Roger Kastel, behind the classic Jaws poster, as well as William Stout, Jason Edmiston, Laurent Durieux, Gary Pullin, Orlando Arocena and others. Looks fantastic.
Review: Ayer's 'Suicide Squad' Squanders an Impressive DC Ensemble
Written and directed by David Ayer (of Fury, End of Watch, Street Kings, and Harsh Times previously), Suicide Squad sounds like it should be a very fun movie. A secret government agency recruits incarcerated super-villains (from DC Comics lore) to carry out high-risk black ops missions in exchange for reduced sentences? It's The Dirty Dozen with Harley Quinn and the Joker and a few other bad guys, what could possibly go wrong? As it turns out, everything. While the premise is intriguing, the movie is unfortunately an incoherent, aggressively dull mess that squanders an impressive ensemble cast of characters.
Watch: Full US Trailer for Polish Possession Horror Comedy 'Demon'
"Buried for decades… silent until now." The Orchard has released an official US trailer for a horror-comedy called Demon, from the late Polish filmmaker Marcin Wrona, who finished this film and died last year just before its initial release. Titled Ha'dibouk in Hebrew, the film is about a man possessed by an "unquiet" spirit in the midst of his own wedding. It's a new take on the Jewish legend of the dybbuk, described as "part absurdist comedy, part love story that scares, amuses, and charms in equal measure." Starring Agnieszka Zulewska and Itay Tiran, with Andrzej Grabowski and Tomasz Schuchardt. The film is actually partially in English, so dive right in, even though this trailer doesn't seem to show much of the comedic side. This looks quite chilling and unique, worth seeking out if you're a fan of possession horror or Polish cinema.
Jerry Lewis Returns as a Jazz Pianist in First Trailer for Indie 'Max Rose'
"They all start out with a slap on the ass, and then we end up jealous old men wishing we had what the other guy's got." Paladin & Lightstream have unveiled the official US trailer for an indie drama called Max Rose, starring the legendary musician-comedian Jerry Lewis as an aging jazz pianist. The trailer says this is Lewis' "most personal role of a lifetime", and it definitely feels that way. After her death, he learns that his wife had another man in her life and tries to find out who he is. Also starring Kevin Pollak, Kerry Bishé, Dean Stockwell, Fred Willard and Claire Bloom. This looks like a very emotional film, with strong performances and more heart than most films. "Sharing love - it's more important that anything." Indeed.
Isabelle Huppert in First Trailer for Mia Hansen-Løve's 'Things to Come'
"To think… I've found my freedom." The official UK trailer for the new Mia Hansen-Løve film has debuted. Titled Things to Come, or L'avenir in French, the film stars Isabelle Huppert as a philosophy teacher dealing with various trials and tribulations later in her life, with her husband and children. The full cast includes André Marcon, Roman Kolinka, and Edith Scob. The film first premiered at the Berlin Film Festival and won a Silver Bear for Best Director, which was excellent because Mia Hansen-Løve is a very talented filmmaker. I interviewed her in Berlin, as I'm a huge fan of her past work as well, and wanted to talk with her about her films - read that here. This is a very philosophical film that will make you think deeply about life and where it all leads, all thanks to the always brilliant mind of Mia Hansen-Løve. Enjoy.

Watch: Sudanese Refugee Short Film 'Grey Bull' Directed by Eddy Bell
"This is not even an African cow." This short film isn't sci-fi or animated, but it is damn good. Grey Bull is a short from Australian filmmaker Eddy Bell about a South Sudanese refugee now living and working in Australia. After befriending a grey bull at the slaughterhouse where he works, he decides to rescue it and bring it home where his family lives, causing all kinds of problems. Despite the brutal nature of the world he works in, and the stress of being a refugee in foreign country, there's a charm to this that really stands out. I can see why this won so many awards at so many festivals the last few years, it deserves them, and I hope to see more from this filmmaker sooner than later. You don't need to know much about this, just watch below.

Watch: Antonio Banderas Uncovers History in 'Finding Altamira' Trailer
"Perhaps all of our ideas are wrong?" Samuel Goldwyn has unveiled an official trailer for the film Finding Altamira, starring Antonio Banderas as Spanish archaeologist Marcelino. Back in 1879, Marcelino and his daughter Maria (played by Allegra Allen) discovered the now-famous cave called Altamira in northern Spain. The cave contains paintings of running bison that date back over 10,000 years. At the time, this discovery made him the target of the Catholic Church since no one could believe it was possible humans were alive back then. This isn't the same cave that Werner Herzog visits in Cave of Forgotten Dreams, but it's similar, and it's cool to see a feature film told around the initial discovery of one of these caves. The full cast includes Golshifteh Farahani, Rupert Everett, Pierre Niney, and Clement Sibony. Take a look.
Official Trailer for Another Nick Cave Doc 'One More Time With Feeling'
"Most of us don't want to change…" Another incredible peek inside the mind of Nick Cave! The first trailer has debuted for a documentary called One More Time With Feeling, made by The Assassination of Jesse James director Andrew Dominik, which follows Cave producing his new album titled "Skeleton Tree" (out in September). The trailer is entirely in black & white, but the feature-length doc has both color and B&W footage as well as 2D and 3D footage, showing Cave working in the studio and outside as well. The footage in this looks stunning, and I'm a huge fan of Andrew Dominik, so I'll probably catch this just to get a glimpse at his most recent work. The "other" Nick Cave doc was called 20,000 Days on Earth and played throughout festivals in 2014-2015, earning mostly positive reviews for being a unique creation. This one is also unique.
