Time to jump into the mayhem.

"Houston, we have a problem." This is easily one of my all-time favorite space movies. Ron Howard's docu-drama thriller Apollo 13 first opened in theaters in the summer of 1995, celebrating its 29th anniversary this year. The old 35mm trailer scanner YouTube recently posted a crisp 2160p scan of the original Apollo 13 trailer. Though this actually plays more like a teaser, setting up the story and stakes and characters without showing too much (the full trailer is also available right below it). In this movie based on a true story, NASA must devise a strategy to return Apollo 13 (which launched in April 1970) to Earth safely after the spacecraft undergoes massive internal damage putting the lives of the three astronauts on board in jeopardy. Starring Tom Hanks as Jim Lovell, Kevin Bacon as Jack Swigert, Bill Paxton Fred Haise, and Ed Harris on the ground as Flight Director Gene Kranz. One of the most nerve-wracking survival movies ever, perfectly shot by Howard and his DP Dean Cundey to make it all feel so real, as if the actors ...

It's set for a Blu-ray release this summer from SRS Cinema - available to pre-order already on their site now.

"The first two years are incredibly dangerous... I had no idea where this story was going to go, but I knew by following this family I would open a window into a leopard's world that nobody has ever seen." Netflix has revealed a beautiful trailer for Living with Leopards, a fascinating nature doc about a leopard family living in Africa. An ambitious film crew follows the lives of two leopard cubs as they make the fascinating journey from infancy into adulthood in this up-close-and-personal nature documentary. Narrated by world-renowned wildlife cinematographer Brad Bestelink, who tells his own story about how he embedded in the outdoors to photograph this journey and follow these cubs. Whoa - this is an immensely fascinating trailer! Starts with this long, adorable sequence with the cubs.
