Amazon has unveiled an official trailer for an energetic action comedy called Jolt, the latest from filmmaker Tanya Wexler (Hysteria, Buffaloed). This is dropping on Prime Video in July right in the middle of the summer, and looks like a wild ride.

"Something began on that day that cannot be reversed." Area 23a + Iambic Dream Films have released the official US trailer for an indie documentary film titled We Are Many, made by Iranian filmmaker Amir Amirani. This originally premiered way back in 2014 at the Sheffield DocFest, and while it did open in the UK, it has never been released in the US.

I remember the night vividly: I was sitting behind a rotting old desk at the college gym I worked at, busily scanning membership passes and doing my best to make the time fly by. Normally, the job was rather mundane, consisting of scanning, greeting, scanning, greeting, scanning, and more greeting for eight hours straight, but at least I got a desk computer to help the time pass. Often I worked on homework when I wasn’t drawing, doodling, or wishing to holy hell the college students would

"The world is out of whack." Magnolia Pictures has released an official US trailer for the absurdist comedy Mandibules, the latest from wacky French musician / filmmaker Quentin Dupieux.

Acid Nerve’s Titan Souls was a modest boss rush game built around its simplicity. No grunt enemies or side characters. Everything dies in one hit. Zero upgrades. Just one weapon. It was limited but was trying to use those restraints to its advantage, even if they didn’t always work. Death’s Door sees Acid Nerve moving on to a bigger title with more than a string of big fights, but a full top-down RPG with regular foes, puzzles, progression, and, well, a cute society of crows.

"Heroes don't get bigger than this!" Paramount Pictures has released an official trailer for their live-action Clifford the Big Red Dog movie, adapted from the classic Scholastic book series by Norman Bridwell.
