Paris je t'aime     21 MB
A new full trailer for this compilation of stories, each one made by a different director, five minutes long and dedicated to a different arrondissement of Paris, the city of love. Cast includes Nick Nolte, Natalie Portman, Juliette Binoche, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Elijah Wood, Steve Buscemi and many, many more. Among the directors of the shorts are Gurinder Chadha, the Coen brothers, Wes Craven, Alfonso Cuarón, Christopher Doyle, Walter Salles and Tom Tykwer.

The Queen     25 MB    Clip1   Clip2   Clip3   Clip4   Clip5
A different trailer from the UK for this intimate behind the scenes glimpse at the interaction between HM Elizabeth II and Prime Minister Tony Blair during their struggle, following the death of Princess Diana, to reach a compromise between what was a private tragedy for the Royal family and the public's demand for an overt display of mourning. Directed by Stephen Frears (Mrs Henderson Presents, Dirty Pretty Things, High Fidelity), Helen Mirren plays Queen Elisabeth, James Cromwell plays Prince Philip and Michael Sheen Tony Blair. Additionally, five clips.
Just in case anybody's wondering, this is not a sequel to the TV miniseries for which Mirren last week won an Emmy. But she's getting equally good reviews after the premiere in Venice. Courtesy of the_grynne, an extensive article about Dame Mirren.

Nina's Heavenly Delights     10 MB
Comedy from the UK about a feisty young woman who left home under a cloud after a row with her father. After his sudden death, she returns to the family owned Indian restaurant. Her return brings her face to face with many surprises like her father's gambling debts and potent friendships from her childhood. To win back the family business, she has to win the Best of the West curry competition.
Looks a bit conventional but might be good for some light entertainment. Release in the UK at the end of September.

DOA: Dead or Alive     14 MB
The full trailer for another adaptation of a video game. This one centres on four female fighters in a competition to the death on an exotic island. The ass-kicking is done by Devon Aoki, Jaime Pressly, Holly Valance, Natassia Malthe and Sarah Carter. Directed by Corey Yuen (The Transporter). After the teaser I thought it might be some good Charlie's Angels-like fun, but now it seems a little bit too much.

Deliver Us From Evil     9 MB
Documentary about paedophiles in the Catholic Church. It portrays Father Oliver O'Grady who molested children for more than decades in California. It also shows how the Church ignored warning signs and tried to cover up the deeds of O'Grady.
It's a very important topic but I don't think I have to watch a documentary to make up my mind about the topic. According to the one review I've read the recount of what happened is very shocking so think twice before you decide if you want to see the doc.
