Pressure
Like the recently released Black Sea, this movie features a bunch of desperate men trapped underwater. A four-man pipeline repair crew find themselves stranded at the bottom of the Somali basin after their support ship ends up next to them instead of above them. Not an ideal situation, especially not when you’re stuck in a small space like a diving bell.
Big Game
In Finland, young kids are sent out in the wilderness on their thirteenth birthday where they have to kill a bear or some other big animal in order to become a man. It’s a rite of passage kinda thing. This also goes for Oskari (Onni Tommila), the son of the biggest, baddest hunter around. However, things take a turn for the unexpected when Air Force One crashes in the forest with president William Alan Moore (Samuel L. Jackson) on board. Can Oskari and Moore survive in the rugged wilderness while being hunted by a bunch of baddies who want to kill the president and mount him on a wall?
The Mule
Look at the DVD cover and you might get the idea that The Mule is a very bad comedy with jokes that only slightly rise above whoopee cushion level. Well, you’d be wrong…
It’s 1983. Ray Jenkins (Angus Sampson) is a slightly dimwitted dude who swallowed 20 condoms filled with heroin and is trying to smuggle them into Australia. When he’s detained by Australian Federal Police, he is however sharp enough to use a legal loophole that prevents the police from taking an x-ray. They can however keep Ray in custody for seven days and wait for… get ready… for the shit to hit the fan.
Chasing Shadows S01
Chasing Shadows is a four-episode series from ITV about DS Stone (Reece Shearsmith), an antisocial prick who’s very good at finding patterns in human behavior. Unfortunately he’s not very good with other people.
