"The boy is out of the box." 📦 You've never seen anything like this film before! A hilarious new short film is finally online after playing at the 2024 SXSW Film Festival last year. Meat Puppet is a hilarious comedy short film created by a British-Greek filmmaker named Eros V. The film won the Audience Award at SXSW and played at a bunch of other festivals and is now online to watch. It's a knock out! On the day he promised his girlfriend he'd grow up, a man-child inadvertently traps himself inside a puppet. How will he get back to his old fleshy meat bag self?! Meat Puppet stars David Jonsson (the super talented young actor seen in Alien: Romulus and Rye Lane) along with Máiréad Tyers and Gregg Chilingirian. This concept is crazy to begin with, but it's executed in just the right way to be super funny and exceptionally awkward, which is not easy to pull off. The puppet is also real - created and puppeted by Hugh Purves. Just click on play below. Thanks to Short of the Week for the tip on this funny short landing online. Brief intro from YouTube: "On the day he promised […]

"We can't choose when to be great. We can only hope to be great when it counts." Prime Video has debuted one more official trailer for the sports movie Unstoppable, telling the inspiring true story of one-legged wrestler Anthony Robles. This premiered at the 2024 Toronto Film Festival last fall, and it'll be ready for streaming on Prime Video in a more few weeks this January. Starring Jharrel Jerome (seen in Moonlight, "When They See Us", "I'm a Virgo") as Anthony Robles in another outstanding performance - one of my fave actors. Unstoppable is both an irresistible sports drama and a family story full of heart. In wrestling and the locker room, he has to convince his two tough coaches (Michael Peña and Don Cheadle) that his grit and potential are real. At home, he contends with an outspoken and loving mother going through some growing up of her own. Along with Jerome, the cast includes Bobby Cannavale, Michael Peña, the real Anthony Robles, Don Cheadle, and Jennifer Lopez as his mother. This looks generic but also properly inspiring. Here's the second trailer (+ poster) for William Goldenberg's Unstoppable, direct from YouTube: You can rewatch the first trailer for Goldenberg's […]

2024 was bursting with amazing movies, and because of this, it’s entirely possible that audiences missed some of the best films of the year.

"What d'you mean you don't care about my dream?" Here's another extra trailer for the sweet little indie film called Bird, the latest feature written and directed by the award-winning filmmaker Andrea Arnold (of Red Road, Fish Tank, American Honey, Cow). Mubi already released this in the fall last year (here's the first trailer) and this second trailer is a reminder that it's also streaming on the Mubi app to watch anytime. It first premiered at the 2024 Cannes Film Festival. Bailey lives with her brother Hunter and her father Bug, who raises them alone in a squat in northern Kent. Bug doesn't have much time to devote to them. So Bailey looks for attention and adventure elsewhere, meeting a strange man named "Bird" with whom she builds a connection with. A tender, striking, distinctly surprising coming-of-age fable from acclaimed auteur Andrea Arnold, starring Barry Keoghan, Franz Rogowski, + newcomer Nykiya Adams as Bailey. You want to see something original? Watch this. Maybe not one of the best films of 2024, but still a good one to discover. Here's the second official trailer (+ poster) for Andrea Arnold's film Bird, direct from Mubi's YouTube: You can rewatch the first trailer […]

"What is going on?! Who's killing who?" An early promo trailer is now out for an action comedy film called Fight or Flight, featuring Josh Hartnett in yet another lead role after Trap last year. Strangely this has no US release date set yet - despite opening in Germany already and other countries soon. The concept involves Hartnett fighting an entire airplane full of assassins. A mercenary takes on the job of tracking down a target on a plane but must protect her when they're surrounded by people trying to kill both of them. Starring Josh Hartnett, Katee Sackhoff, Charithra Chandran, Julian Kostov, Marko Zaror. Josh Hartnett explains this: "I've got a film coming out called Fight or Flight, where I do my own stunts. I'm 46. I was 45 when I shot it. It's different from when you're in your 20s... We had a very long shot in that film where I am fighting an enormous amount of bad guys on a plane, in a close-counter environment, and using things off the plane to fight them... I found that to be the toughest physical thing I've ever had to do." Sounds like tons of fun. Check out the first […]
