Let the binge begin!
Kodakrome Trailer
[su_youtube url=”https://youtu.be/g3IvVejktJE”]The Netflix film was directed by Mark Raso and scribed by Jonathan Tropper (Banshee), inspired by a New York Times article written by A.G. Sulzberger. ‘Kodakrome’ stars Jason Sudeikis, Elizabeth Olsen and Ed Harris. The film is set for release on April 20, 2018.
Struggling A&R executive Matt (Jason Sudeikis) finds his world turned upside down when his estranged father’s nurse (Elizabeth Olsen) shows up unexpectedly in his office. Matt’s father, a famed bad-boy photojournalist (Ed Harris), is facing terminal cancer and his dying wish is for Matt to join him on a road trip from New York to Kansas to process his last rolls of Kodachrome film before the sole remaining lab closes and those captured moments are gone forever. Kodachrome tells the story of three damaged people coming to terms with themselves, each other, and a world swiftly changing from analog to digital.
First Reformed Trailer
[su_youtube url=”https://youtu.be/hCF5Y8dQpR4″]‘First Reformed‘ was directed by Paul Schrader, the writer of taxi driver. The A24 film stars Ethan Hawke and Amanda Seyfried, which is set for theatrical release on May 18, 2018.
Reverend Ernst Toller (Ethan Hawke) is a solitary, middle-aged parish pastor at a small Dutch Reform church in upstate New York on the cusp of celebrating its 250th anniversary. Once a stop on the Underground Railroad, the church is now a tourist attraction catering to a dwindling congregation, eclipsed by its nearby parent church, Abundant Life, with its state-of-the-art facilities and 5,000-strong flock. When a pregnant parishioner (Amanda Seyfried) asks Reverend Toller to counsel her husband, a radical environmentalist, the clergyman finds himself plunged into his own tormented past, and equally despairing future, until he finds redemption in an act of grandiose violence. From writer-director Paul Schrader (Taxi Driver; American Gigolo; Affliction) comes a gripping thriller about a crisis of faith that is at once personal, political, and planetary.
Revenge Red-Band Trailer
[su_youtube url=”https://youtu.be/wEVxKimr1MU”]‘Revenge‘ stars Matilda Lutz as Jen, and was directed by Coralie Fargeat. The film is set for theatrical release on May 11, 2018.
Jen (fearlessly embodied by Matilda Lutz, Rings) is enjoying a romantic getaway with her wealthy boyfriend which is suddenly disrupted when his sleazy friends arrive for an unannounced hunting trip. Tension mounts in the house until the situation abruptly––and viciously––intensifies, culminating in a shocking act that leaves Jen left for dead. Unfortunately for her assailants, Jen survives and reemerges with a relentless, wrathful intent: revenge.

[su_youtube url=”https://youtu.be/WGrMxaIKbC4″]‘Cargo’ is directed by Yolanda Ramke and Ben Howling. The film stars Maritn Freeman and is set for a Netflix streaming release on May 18, 2018.
Stranded in rural Australia in the aftermath of a violent pandemic, an infected father desperately searches for a new home for his infant child and a means to protect her from his own changing nature.
Fear the Walking Dead Season 4 Trailer
[su_youtube url=”https://youtu.be/PXrtdoBFSXk”]‘Fear the Walking Dead‘ Season 4 stars Kim Dickens, Jenna Elfman, and Lennie James–among others.

In season four, we will see the world of Madison Clark (Kim Dickens) and her family through new eyes — the eyes of Morgan Jones (Lennie James), who is joining the story from the world of The Walking Dead. The characters’ immediate pasts mix with an uncertain present of struggle and discovery as they meet new friends, foes and threats. They fight for each other, against each other and against a legion of the dead to somehow build an existence against the crushing pressure of lives coming apart. There will be darkness and light; terror and grace; and the heroic, mercenary and craven, all crashing together toward a new reality for Fear the Walking Dead.
