Malachi Kirby in London Boxing Series 'A Thousand Blows' Full Trailer

"This may be the bottom of the barrel, but we are going to float elegantly all the way to the top." Hulu has revealed the main official trailer for a gritty crime series called A Thousand Blows, made for Disney+ in the UK arriving for streaming in February on Hulu. 🇬🇧 The first two eps premiered at the 2024 London Film Festival last year. Created by Steven Knight, A Thousand Blows is inspired by the true-life stories of a group of characters battling for survival in the violent East End of London in the 1880s. It's about the fortunes (and challenges) of Hezekiah and Alec, two best friends newly arrived from Jamaica to the dirty & brutal streets of Victorian era London. Fighting for survival in the overwhelming melting pot of Victorian London's East End, they come up against Sugar Goodson – a dangerous, veteran boxer. The cast includes Malachi Kirby and Francis Lovehall as Hezekiah and Alec, from Jamaica, along with Erin Doherty, Stephen Graham as boxer Sugar Goodson, Jason Tobin, and James Nelson-Joyce. This looks like it might be a damn good time - especially with this cast. Malachi Kirby is having an awesome time handling this lead role. // Continue Reading ›

Official Trailer for 'This is the Tom Green Documentary' From Canada

"Don't make a documentary about your life! It's weird, hilarious, sometimes crazy, sometimes strange, anxiety-inducing, but mostly a relief." Prime Video has revealed a trailer for a comedy doc called This is the Tom Green Documentary, which is ready for streaming this month. It hasn't played at any festivals as far as we know, and will be out for streaming on Amazon's Prime Video on January 24th - not long of a wait. We haven't heard his name in a long time! From Canada to Hollywood and back. Explore comedian Tom Green's legendary career in this autobiographical doc film. The title is a reference to his old comedy / prank show that used to open with a song called This is The Tom Green Show (it originally ran from 1994 - 2000). If you're wondering where Green went, he explains in this short trailer that he sold his home and now lives on a farm in up Canada near his hometown where he's originally from. I'm quite curious to see him reflect on his life, his comedy antics, and everything else going on in the world - check it out below. // Continue Reading ›

Official Trailer for Horror 'Are You There?' - A Game of 20 Questions

"Do not attempt the Are You There? challenge!" It's a bad idea - you might end up dead! Dark Sky Films has unveiled an official trailer for indie horror thriller titled Are You There?, directed by indie filmmaker Kim Noonan. It's getting a small release and will be available on VOD to watch this February if anyone is curious. Paranormal psychology student Rosa Gonzalez lights a ritual candle used to contact the dead... When she then asks, "Are You There?" she opens a door to a demonic game of 20 questions. After lighting summoning candle, it ignites a life and death game of questions to answer. As the candle melts down, so does her chance of survival. She discovers some questions are best left unanswered... Starring Laura Sollet as Rosa, plus Eva Meyerson, Madison Geiger, Mbeng Klovis, Chase Bridges, and Kay Galvin. This looks like an obvious direct-to-video genre release, but at least they tried creating a freaky game concept for this horror. // Continue Reading ›

Battle of Mogadishu Doc Series 'Surviving Black Hawk Down' Trailer

"I was sure my family were dead." Netflix has unveiled a trailer for Surviving Black Hawk Down, a 3-episode docu series that will be streaming on Netflix starting in February. The doc is a "360-degree telling of the 1993 Battle of Mogadishu, whose events served as inspiration for Ridley Scott's Academy Award winning film Black Hawk Down." It has been 24 years since Black Hawk Down opened in theaters (back in 2001) and yet somehow now is apparently the right time to revisit it. I mean, it is a great action movie, but this all seems strange. Surviving Black Hawk Down tells the gripping real story of the horror and heroism behind the events – blending raw, immersive doc storytelling with first-person interviews from both sides of The Battle of Mogadishu. Makers RSA add "[we] are thrilled to bring this compelling story to a new audience with Netflix, almost 25 years after Ridley’s iconic movie. It's a gripping tale, and powerful and moving to hear from both US forces and Somalis for the first time." I'm glad they're sharing stories of both sides now. // Continue Reading ›

Pixar's 'Win or Lose' Softball Team Anthology Series on D+ Full Trailer

"No matter what happens, you are all winners!" Get ready to play ball! ⚾ Pixar has debuted the full official trailer for their new streaming series called Win or Lose, which has been in development for years. This original animation creation made by Pixar Animation Studios is finally streaming on Disney+ starting this February - delayed from its original December date. The new series follows the intertwined stories of eight different characters as they each prepare for their big championship softball game. Their team is known as the Pickles. 🥒 The fascinating Inside Out-inspired series reveals what it actually feels like to be in the shoes of each of the unique characters—the insecure kids, their helicopter parents, even a lovesick umpire—with incredibly funny, very emotional and uniquely animated perspectives. Will Forte voices their coach. The cast also includes Izaac Wang (from Didi!), Ian Chen, Jo Firestone, Milan, & Josh Thomson. It's still infuriating that they removed a trans storyline from the series - it really should be in here. But the rest of it looks fantastic anyway! All these personal stories seem so honest and I'm excited to see every episode. // Continue Reading ›
