The Mustang tells the story of Roman Coleman (Matthias Schoenaerts – Red Sparrow), a violent convict, who is given the chance to participate in a rehabilitation therapy program involving the training of wild mustangs.

Nostalgia is, thankfully, not a remake of Andrei Tarkovsky’s overlong bore-a-thon of the same name, but the billing states it’s a mosaic of stories about love and loss, and which explores our relationships to the objects, artifacts, and memories that shape our lives. In the trailer, it looks like a two-and-a-half minute Calvin Klein advert, […]

The Hateful Eight is Quentin Tarantino‘s 8th film, and in post-Civil War Wyoming, bounty hunters try to find shelter during a blizzard but get involved in a plot of betrayal and deception.
