"Don't scare him." Janus Films has revealed a brand new US trailer for the epic, psychedelic, unforgettable adventure of a donkey named EO. Yes, this is THAT "donkey movie" that first premiered at the 2022 Cannes Film Festival earlier this year. It also played at TIFF, and is showing at the New York Film Festival next. The Polish film follows a donkey who encounters on his journeys good and bad people, experiences joy and pain, exploring a vision of modern Europe through his eyes. With his first film in seven years, legendary director Jerzy Skolimowski (Deep End, Moonlighting) directs one of his most free and visually inventive films yet, following the travels of a nomadic grey donkey named EO. It's like nothing you've ever seen!! "EO's journey speaks to the world around us, an equine hero boldly pointing out societal ills, and serving as warning to the dangers of neglect and inaction, all while on a quest for freedom." It won a Jury Prize in Cannes, but most importantly it won the hearts of many as the donkey is now a hero of cinema. It is also Poland's submission to the Academy Awards this year. It's definitely worth a look - even if you aren't a big fan of donkeys. Enjoy. ›››

"No dream lasts forever. Sooner or later, it's time to wake up." Netflix has debuted a full official trailer for the magical adventure Slumberland, the new Francis Lawrence-directed fantasy adventure movie (for the whole family!!) streaming on Netflix later in November. This seems like a mind-expanding trip - journeying through dreams and imaginations!! A young girl discovers a secret map to the dreamworld of Slumberland, and with the help of an eccentric outlaw traverses dreams and flees nightmares, with the hope that she will be able to see her late father again. Lawrence is a visual filmmaker who knows how to make magical worlds feel grounded & real - hopefully that still works here. Jason Momoa stars as Flip, with Marlow Barkley as Nemo, and a cast including Chris O’Dowd, Kyle Chandler, Weruche Opia, India de Beaufort, and Humberly González. This almost plays like Inception for kids, with a few different story twists. I dig the footage so far! Yes it's packed with CGI that does look a bit rough in shots, but it still seems like a good time. ›››

"Every Kami, young and old, must work together to defend our mountain." Netflix has debuted a main official trailer for an anime series titled Oni: Thunder God's Tale, arriving for streaming later in October. This stop-motion series is a whimsical and imaginative journey through the oddball gods and monsters of Japanese mythology. One of the creature's free-spirited daughters, Onari, is determined to follow in the footsteps of the mighty heroes of lore, but her unique powers are yet to be revealed.

The massive voice cast includes Momona Tamada, Archie Yates, Craig Robinson, Tantoo Cardinal, Brittany Ishibashi, Omar Miller, Seth Carr, Anna Akana, Charlet Takahashi Chung, Miyuki Sawashiro, Yuki Matsuzaki, plus Robert Kondo & George Takei.

"It's not this city…" "Then what is it?" A24 and Apple TV+ have revealed an official trailer for an acclaimed indie drama titled Causeway, marking the feature directorial debut of filmmaker / theater director Lila Neugebauer. This recently premiered at the 2022 Toronto Film Festival to glowing reviews, praising both of the lead performances above all. A US soldier suffers a traumatic brain injury while fighting in Afghanistan. When she returns to New Orleans and begins to recover, she struggles to adjust to life back home. Starring Jennifer Lawrence and Brian Tyree Henry. "These two damaged souls' budding friendship forms the center and the heart of Neugebauer's debut feature—a quiet but devastating, and ultimately uplifting, story about coming to terms and moving forward." The cast also includes Jayne Houdyshell, Linda Emond, Stephen McKinley Henderson, and Frederick Weller. This looks really beautiful, I love the score in this trailer and the footage is all so tender and heartfelt. I'm really looking forward to catching up with this. ›››

"What if I give a soul to a computer or a machine. That doesn't make us weaker, that makes us stronger." Memory has revealed an official for the music + tech doc called The Computer Accent, featuring the pop music group YACHT. Originally created in 2002 by Jona Bechtolt, they have evolved over the years with different band members. Now, the boundary-pushing band YACHT tackles the greatest challenge of their career: inviting Artificial Intelligence into their creative process. As cutting-edge technology collides with their DIY sensibilities, the band struggles to understand the future of music—and their place within it. The PR description adds: "Lo-fi meets high-tech in this entertaining and thought-provoking journey into the wilderness of art and technology. The band sits back as research scientists whiteboard their way through explanations of neural networks." This looks like a funky doc that will play perfectly as a double feature with the Meow Wolf film - both about quirky artists trying to innovative in clever, sometimes unsuccessful ways. ›››

"You know what I see? Fear!" Gravitas Ventures has revealed a trailer for Where Are You, a psychological thriller mystery about a photographer. This initially premiered at the 2021 Locarno Film Festival last year, but made no impact and earned no buzz. Now it's being dumped on VOD later this month. A photographer experiencing an artistic decline begins taking his aggressions out on his super attractive artist girlfriend. When she cryptically disappears, he enters his own subconscious, descending down a spiral of mystery and madness on his search for her, as well as himself. The film's ensemble cast features Anthony Hopkins, Camille Rowe, Irakli Kvirikadze, Ray Nicholson, Angela Sarafyan, Mickey Sumner, Melora Walters, Christopher Ashman, Brad Greenquist, and Madeline Brewer. This is a very strange out-of-the-90s trailer that sells it like a "coming to Saturday night TV" movie special. Doesn't seem that exciting. ›››

With exclusive access to never-before-seen archival footage, the film reveals Trotter's relentless pursuit of excellence at all costs. Have you heard of this chef before? Do you know about him? This trailer sets up an intriguing story about how not many people really knew him, only as a "perfectionist", but there's more to the story. Certainly sounds fascinating! Curious to learn about him? ›››

"Why do you look so stressed?" Sky Cinema in the UK has revealed a trailer for Aisha, an emotional drama from Irish filmmaker Frank Berry. This is premiering soon at the London Film Festival after first showing at the Tribeca Film Festival earlier this year. While caught for years in Ireland's immigration system, Aisha Osagie develops a close friendship with former prisoner Conor Healy. This friendship soon looks to be short lived as Aisha's future in Ireland comes under threat. Letitia Wright (also seen in The Silent Twins and Wakanda Forever this year) stars as Aisha Osagie, with Josh O'Connor, Ruth McCabe, Emmet Byrne, Joanne Crawford, Geraldine McAlinden, Tara Flynn, Joseph Palmer, and Abdul Alshareef. I'm glad they make films like this because people really need to see how horrible most immigration systems are, and how they treat people so poorly, despite a belief it's the "right way". This looks like a very powerful film. ›››

"You've been following me." "We've got unfinished business." Who's hungry?? MGM has revealed another new official "theatrical" trailer for Bones and All, from director Luca Guadagnino. The main trailer that they launched last week was a bloody, full-on horror trailer. This new one is the trailer that they will show in theaters, since they can't put any blood in trailers. And this film is very bloody. Adapted from the book by Camille DeAngelis, the film is about a relationship that begins between Maren and Lee, two youngsters that are "surviving on the margins of society." The story is also about cannibals on the run, trying to contain themselves and not get into more trouble. Bones and All is "a very romantic story, about the impossibility of love and yet, the need for it. Even in extreme circumstances." The score is by Oscar winners Trent Reznor & Atticus Ross. Timothée Chalamet & Taylor Russell co-star, along with Michael Stuhlbarg, Mark Rylance, Chloë Sevigny, Jessica Harper, David Gordon Green, André Holland, Jake Horowitz, Francesca Scorsese, & Anna Cobb. This new trailer gives away a lot more of the plot - but with less gore. ›››

"Santa, are you there? Daddy said you were very busy tonight." Universal Pictures has revealed an official trailer for Violent Night, the Santa Claus action comedy by Norwegian genre filmmaker Tommy Wirkola. Bring it on!! Been waiting to see this trailer. This almost seems a bit like Die Hard, but taking on the "Ho ho ho" part of that movie and making it the actual plot - what if the real Santa DID fight back. When a group of mercenaries attack the estate of a wealthy family, Santa Claus must step in to save the day (and Christmas). David Harbour (from "Stranger Things" & Hellboy) stars as Santa, and also features Emmy winner John Leguizamo, Cam Gigandet, Alex Hassell, Alexis Louder, Edi Patterson, and Beverly D'Angelo. Oh hell yes, this look awesome!! I love the twist on the concept with Santa using his "magic" of his naughty & nice list and present bag and everything. Can't wait to watch it!! Time for some Season's Beatings. Ahaha. ›››

"Your body is the Fatherland. Don't let it fall into enemy hands." Dark Star Pictures has revealed the new official US trailer for the film Onoda: 10,000 Nights in the Jungle, a French drama about a Japanese solider that originally premiered at the 2021 Cannes Film Festival last year. Based on a true story!! Which is especially crazy when you think about it. Shot in Japanese, this international co-production tells the story of the soldier Hiroo Onoda (played by Endô Yûya) who was sent to an island in the Philippines in 1944, to fight against the American offensive. When "Japan surrenders, Onoda ignores it, trained to survive at all costs in the jungle, he keeps his war going. He will take 10,000 days to capitulate, refusing to believe the end of the Second World War." He ends up spending nearly 30 years there. The film also stars Tsuda Kanji, Matsuura Yūya, Chiba Tetsuya, Katō Shinsuke, Inowaki Kai, and Ogata Issey. It's finally getting a US release in theaters later this month (starting at Film Forum in NYC). This looks bleak and terrifiyng - not just a war film, but a film about how some people can't ever give up being in a war. They must keep fighting. ›››

"Is this what he's into? There's always something about him I never liked…" Time to move out!! Daddy's Girl is a short film that first premiered at the 2022 Sundance Film Festival earlier this year, now available online to watch. Written & directed by filmmaker Lena Hudson, Daddy's Girl is an award-winning short film about a father/daughter relationship gone awry and the limits of our self-deceit - about a young woman whose charming but overbearing father helps her move out of her wealthy, older boyfriend's apartment. Starring Tedra Millan and Peter Friedman, plus Rhett Rossi. The two lead performances are what this film work, otherwise it might be a bit too cringe. But there's an awkardness that keeps it afloat, as it's a story about a woman who should rethink her choices (much like Shiva Baby which is similar to this). View below. ›››

"Like Ted Lasso stumbled into the Hannibal universe and developed a taste for human flesh." XYZ Films has revealed an official trailer for a freakin' weird horror comedy from the UK titled Feed Me, co-directed by filmmakers Adam Leader & Richard Oakes. This is premiering at Grimmfest this week in the UK, then will be on VOD in the US at the end of the month. After Fresh and Bones and All and Some Like It Rare, there's yet another cannibal horror film arriving this year to get a taste of. If you wish. Following the death of his wife, a broken man spirals into an abyss of night tremors & depression and finds himself in the home of a deranged cannibal who convinces him to take his own life in the most horrific way imaginable… This sound so demented and yet it's also a quirky comedy. The film stars Neal Ward, Christopher Mulvin, Hannah Al Rashid, and Samantha Loxley. That crazy quote on the poster about Ted Lasso is hilarious. I don't know who's into these kind of films, but there must be someone out there who enjoys them… Right? ›››

"He lives in a different reality than you or I do…" Dogwoof has revealed an official trailer for the cinema documentary Lynch/Oz, which is being released in the US by Janus Films sometime soon. This has been playing at festivals throughout the year, including at Tribeca, Deauville, London, and the Karlovy Vary Film Festival. Is there any connection between The Wizard of Oz and weirdo filmmaker David Lynch? More than you think. Lynch/Oz explores one of the most fascinating puzzles in the history of motion pictures: the enduring symbiosis between America’s primordial fairytale, The Wizard of Oz, and David Lynch’s singular brand of popular surrealism. The film features six segments in which critics and filmmakers spend about 20 minutes each discussing how the classic 1939 musical connects with Lynch's work. Each one has a unique idea as to how everything ties in, and each is more compelling than the last. After this doc, I'd love to see other directors analyzed in this "what did this film mean to them" way. Wish there was footage in the trailer. ›››

"You can't just stop being friends with a fella!!" Searchlight UK has debuted a brand new UK trailer for the latest film The Banshees of Inisherin from acclaimed writer / director Martin McDonagh, known for his films In Bruges, Seven Psychopaths, and Three Billboards. This premiered to rave reviews at the 2022 Venice Film Festival & Toronto Film Festival, and it also just played at Fantastic Fest in Austin, TX as well. Set on a remote island off the west coast of Ireland, two lifelong friends find themselves at an impasse when one abruptly ends their relationship, leading to alarming consequences for both. Banshees features another stellar cast: Colin Farrell and Brendan Gleeson as the two friends (the same two from In Bruges! ha!), plus Kerry Condon, Pat Shortt, and Barry Keoghan. We already posted the US trailer back in August, but more than happy to bring some extra attention to this fine film. It's a much darker, downcast story than it seems, but with tons of nuance in the screenplay. Not to mention a handful of outstanding performances. ›››

"That smell is my son's body, reeking of racial hatred, now I want America to bear witness." UA + Orion Pictures + MGM have debuted a second trailer for the movie known as Till, telling the story of Emmett Till's lynching and his mother's fight for justice. A sad story, but one that must be told. See the never-before-told story of Mamie Till-Mobley's quest for justice for her son, Emmett. Till was abducted, tortured, and lynched in Mississippi back in 1955 at the age of 14. Filmmaker Chinonye Chukwu refuses to show that brutality, instead focusing on the story of love between a mother and her son. This recently premiered at the New York Film Festival to glowing reviews. The film stars Danielle Deadwyler as Mamie, Jalyn Hall as Emmett, with Frankie Faison, Haley Bennett, and Whoopi Goldberg. I haven't even seen this yet, but I can tell Deadwyler gives one of the best performances of the year. All the reviews so far confirm she's a highlight of the fall movie season. Even though this is a tragic, emotional story it looks like an empowering film anyway. ›››

"Not once did I wonder if I'd be walking handcuffed through the jungle with a live grenade." Amazon has finally revealed an official trailer for Shotgun Wedding, a raucous comedy dumped by the studios for a streaming release instead of going to theaters this fall. It'll be out to watch on Prime Video in late January, which is prime time dumping season - not a good sign. What's it about? A couple's extravagant destination wedding is hijacked by criminals. In the process of saving their families, they rediscover why they fell in love in the first place. This is also a bit awkward - making light of a terrorist attack on a wedding? Huh, okay… Jennifer Lopez and Josh Duhamel star, with Jennifer Coolidge, D'Arcy Carden, Melissa Hunter, Callie Hernandez, Cheech Marin, Sônia Braga, Steve Coulter, and Lenny Kravitz as her ex Sean. This definitely looks like a movie to avoid, even if the humor is so bad it makes you laugh. Nah. Steer clear. ›››

"Anyone can be chosen." Netflix has revealed an official trailer for The Wonder, a new drama from Chilean filmmaker Sebastián Lelio (of A Fantastic Woman, Disobedience, Gloria Bell) that first premiered at the Telluride Film Festival. A tale of two strangers who transform each other's lives, a psychological thriller, and a story of love pitted against evil. Starring Florence Pugh, and based on the book by Emma Donoghue, writer of Room, The Wonder is the tale of a young Irish girl, Anna O'Donnell, whose Catholic family claim she has eaten nothing since her eleventh birthday… four months ago. It's set 13 years after the Great Famine in the 1800s in Ireland. In addition to Pugh, the main cast includes Tom Burke, Niamh Algar, Elaine Cassidy, Kíla Lord Cassidy, Toby Jones, Ciarán Hinds, Dermot Crowley, Brían F. O'Byrne, and David Wilmot. This looks like a very intriguing film about religious faith and women and love. Get a look. ›››
