“The Argentinian State trained me to do that.” The Match Factory has revealed a festival promo trailer for a documentary film called Landmarks, also known as Nuestra Tierra (which translates to Our Earth). This just premiered at the 2025 Venice Film Festival and will be screening at tons of other festivals this fall: San Sebastian, Toronto, New York, Vancouver, and London soon. In 2009, a man & two accomplices try to evict members of the Indigenous community of Chuschagasta in northern Argentina. Claiming ownership of the land & armed with guns, they kill the community’s leader, Javier Chocobar. The murder is caught on video. It takes nine years of protests before court proceedings are finally opened in 2018 – director Lucrecia Martel started filming in order to make this doc. During all this time, the killers have remained free. The film combines the voices and photographs of the community with vérité courtroom footage to explore the long history of colonialism & land dispossession that led up to this crime. A fly on the wall doc that captures the lawsuit and realities of trying to get real justice in a broken world. It is still seeking proper distribution.

Here’s the festival promo trailer (+ poster) for Lucrecia Martel’s doc Nuestra Tierra, from YouTube:

Nuestra Tierra Poster

Via NYFF: “In October 2009, Javier Chocobar, a member of the indigenous Chuchagasta community in northwest Argentina’s Tucumán Province, tried to defend himself & his people from being forcibly evicted from their land by a local landowner and two former police officers. As a result, the 68-year-old Chocobar was shot and killed, and two other community members were wounded. In her expansive and enlightening first feature documentary, filmmaker Lucrecia Martel takes a sweeping approach to this tragic true story, triangulating the murder trial of the three men, the lives of Chocobar and his fellow Chuchagasta people, and the centuries-old, colonialist legacy of land and property theft across [all of] Latin America. With a ravishing, at times vertiginous visual approach to filming the natural beauty of the contested land, Martel pays cinematic tribute to people whom others [have always] systematically tried to erase from history.” 🇦🇷

Nuestra Tierra, also titled Landmarks, is directed by acclaimed Argentinian filmmaker Lucrecia Martel, director of the films La ciénaga, The Holy Girl, The Headless Woman, and Zama previously, plus tons of other shorts. Produced by Rei Pictures (Benjamin Domenech, Santiago Gallelli, Matias Roveda), Louverture Films (Joslyn Barnes), Piano (Julio Chavezmontes), Pio & Co (Sandrine Dumas, Marie-Pierre Macia, Claire Gadea), Snowglobe (Katrin Pors, Mikkel Jersi), Lemming Film (Leontine Petit, Erik Glijnis). This initially premiered at the 2025 Venice Film Festival in the Out of Competition section; it also plays at the Toronto, New York, London Film Fests next. No US release date is set yet – stay tuned for updates. Who’s intrigued?

Green Day Unveil Teaser Trailer for New Years Rev

by jummy84 September 6, 2025

written by jummy84

Green Day have unveiled the teaser trailer for New Years Rev, their coming-of-age comedy film based on their early days as road-tested young punks. Now grab the popcorn and the guyliner!

New Years Rev sees a young and hungry punk band (played by Mason Thames, Kylr Coffman, and Ryan Foust) hit the road for California after they mistakenly believe they’ve landed the gig of a lifetime opening for Green Day’s New Year’s Eve concert in Los Angeles. What follows on their road trip out West promises to be “rowdy, mischievous, and full of adventure” as the upstarts learn the ins and outs of the true rock star life.

In the 55-second teaser (featuring Green Day’s “Holiday” as the soundtrack), we see the boys hatch their plan, run afoul of a nasty tow truck driver, play their own show seemingly at a skate park, and even catch Green Day on stage. So far it’s a little like Almost Famous meets Get Him to the Greek (without all that needless Russell Brand showing up), and this one could be a neat little celebration of the snark and spirit Green Day maintain even to this very day. Check out the teaser below.

“Now he’s older, not necessarily wiser.” Ain’t that the truth. Picturehouse has revealed the official trailer for an indie comedy film titled Re-Election, a sort of modern riff on the 1999 comedy classic Election. It’s set for release in October starting at limited theaters and with more screens before it’s on VOD. Desperate to re-discover the mojo he lost as a teenager, a disappointed middle-aged man re-enrolls in high school in order to run for class president again. But after 30 years, things have changed a bit. Of course, Gen Z rules now. A nostalgic coming-of-middle-age comedy from director-writer-producer Adam Saunders – this also stars Saunders as Jimmy, along with Tony Danza, Bex Taylor-Klaus, Kym Whitley, and Rizwan Manji. This also reminds me of the Adam Sandler 90s classic Billy Madison, but it looks like a whole different story here. “Re-Election is a throwback comedy that audiences need & will enjoy this fall,” they say. Vote Jimmy!

Here’s the official trailer (+ poster) for Adam Saunders’ indie film Re-Election, direct from YouTube:

Re-Election Film Poster

High school haunts everyone, in one way or another. For Jimmy Bauer (Adam Saunders), it was losing the race for class president during his senior year back in 1995, which caused him to drop out. He’s now a 40-something underdog stuck working in a memorabilia store owned by his dad Stanislaw (co-starring TV comedy icon Tony Danza). So Jimmy decides to go back to school for his missing class credits — and win the election he’s sure will make his life right. But after 30 years, things have changed a bit, and with the help of his new Gen-Alpha friend Noa & former classmate-turned-girlfriend Ama, Jimmy learns that it’s not how we start a journey that matters — it’s how we finish it. Re-Election is both written and directed by American producer / filmmaker Adam Saunders, making his second feature film after directing Dotty & Soul previously. Produced by Erika Hampson, Mac Hendrickson, & Saunders. Picturehouse will release the Re-Election film in select US theaters starting October 10th, 2025 coming up this fall. Anyone into this?

“Not everyone’s going to be able to make it up.” Hulu has unveiled the official trailer for Memphis to the Mountain, a new three-part documentary series – now streaming on Hulu as of this weekend. An inspiring story about how rock climbing can actually change lives. The project was inspired by & born from Memphis Rox, a nonprofit climbing gym / community center founded by Tom Shadyac and Chris Dean, which has served as a beacon of hope and opportunity in South Memphis (check it out here). Known as one of the most underserved communities in the country, South Memphis is a neighborhood with roots in Black American history and culture—home to Stax Records, the birthplace of Aretha Franklin, and the final pulpit of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., where he delivered his iconic “Mountaintop” speech a day before his assassination. Memphis to the Mountain captures a bold, cinematic expedition in which a handful of young climbers from Memphis Rox embark on a life-changing journey to climb a big rock wall on Mt. Kenya in Africa—leaving behind daily adversity to scale new literal and metaphorical heights in the world of elite mountaineering. This is actually a really moving story to tell and confirms how rock climbing is more than just a fun sport.

Here’s the official trailer (+ poster) for Zachary Barr’s doc Memphis to the Mountain, from YouTube:

Memphis to the Mountain Poster

Memphis to the Mountain follows a determined group of young climbers from one of South Memphis’s most overlooked and hard-edged neighborhoods—where climbing is virtually unknown—as they set out to conquer a 16,000-foot rock tower on Mt. Kenya. Over the course of a year, they must endure grueling preparation, training alongside some of the sport’s most renowned figures, including Alex Honnold and Philip Henderson. Battling thin air, raw fear, and the limits of their own endurance, they come to realize that the hardest climb isn’t the mountain—it’s transforming who you believe you can be. A story of grit, transformation, and the unshakable power of reaching beyond what you thought possible. Memphis to the Mountain is directed by filmmaker Zachary Barr, director of the doc film Black Ice and many Reel Rock films as well. Made by Sender Films & Shady Acres Entertainment. Exec produced by Tom Shadyac, Kelley L. Carter, Jason Aidoo, Peter Mortimer, & Zachary Barr. Hulu will debut the Memphis to the Mountain doc series streaming on Hulu starting September 5th, 2025 – it’s available to watch now. Anyone interested?

Jonas Brothers Dash Home in 1st ‘A Very Jonas Christmas Movie’ Trailer

by jummy84 September 5, 2025

written by jummy84

The Jonas Brothers promise they’ll be home for Christmas in the first look at the sibling trio’s upcoming family-friendly holiday movie. But based on the brief trailer that dropped on Friday (Sept. 5), Joe, Nick and Kevin Jonas will have to overcome some seriously silly obstacles if they’re going to be letting it bro, bro, bro this December.

According to a synopsis of A Very Jonas Christmas Movie — which is slated to premiere globally on Disney+ on Nov. 14 — the trio will “face a series of escalating obstacles as they struggle to make it from London to New York in time to spend Christmas with their families.”

In the trailer, the brothers take a bow in snowy London after a standing-room-only gig, with Kevin lamenting that he hasn’t seen his kids “in like a month.” Meanwhile, Nick FaceTimes with wife Priyanka Chopra and promises he’ll be home for the holidays as she shares a “we love you” from the fam back home. But when Randall Park (Shortcomings) asks them if they’re sure they can make it to the airport without him the next day, Nick assures their minder that it’s just one night. “We’ll be fine,” he says. Famous last words.

Cue the mayhem, as the boys dash through the snow in a stranger’s car, run around London and freak out as a pack of wolves surround them in the woods. “I’m sorry we never got to hear you sing Kevin!” Joe shouts as the snarling lobos close in. “I’m sure your voice is pretty okay!”

The film’s all-star cast also includes: Billie Lourd (The Last Showgirl), Laverne Cox (Doubt), KJ Apa (I Still Believe), Chloe Bennett (Valley Girl), Andrew Barth Feldman (Maybe Happy Ending), Andrea Martin (Only Murders in the Building), Kenny G and producer/songwriter Justin Tranter as themselves, as well as Park and Jesse Tyler Ferguson (Cocaine Bear).

The JoBros — who are also listed as producers — star as themselves in the film directed by Emmy- and Oscar-winner Jessica Yu (Quiz Lady), with some promised cameos from the extended Jonas family universe.

The brothers are still on the road for their 20th anniversary Jonas20: Greetings From Your Hometown tour, which is slated to hit the Intuit Dome in Inglewood, Calif. on Saturday night (Sept. 6).

Check out the trailer below.

Official Trailer for ‘Men of War’ Doc Film About a Venezuela Invasion

“I had the military in place, all we needed to do was coordinate.” Neon has revealed a new official trailer for a documentary film titled Men of War, a fascinating and unsettling look at a rogue military dude who tried to invade Venezuela and overthrow the government. Yes this really happened a few years ago. The film first premiered at the 2024 Toronto Film Festival last year and will be out on VOD to watch next week – I guess they’re capitalizing on the recent real world news about the US getting involved in Venezuela again. A former U.S. Green Beret is recruited to remove Venezuela’s president and after the mission fails, he is pursued by the government he faithfully served. For some reason the FBI goes after him. This riveting doc film Men of War chronicles the astonishing true story of what was called Operation Gideon—which is the failed 2020 coup attempt in Venezuela—and the covert network of ex-generals, mercenaries, and political operatives behind it. A gripping geopolitical documentary set in the shadows of modern regime change, Men of War is a shocking portrait of power, profit, and betrayal. This looks totally, massively crazy! What a story.

Here’s the official trailer (+ poster) for Corben & Gatien’s doc Men of War, direct from Neon’s YouTube:

Men of War Poster

In May 2020, weeks after the U.S. placed a $15M bounty on Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro, around 60 Venezuelan dissidents, including two former U.S. Green Berets, attempted to reach Venezuela by boat in an effort to remove Maduro from power. Leading the mission was former Green Beret / private military contractor Jordan Goudreau, who branded himself as a real-life action hero & found himself at the center of an international political crisis. Blending tense, real-world drama with the complexity of an espionage thriller, Men of War unfolds through a dynamic mix of archival footage, new interviews, and exclusive prison recordings. The film pulls viewers inside a shadowy web of political double-crossing, covert deals, and shifting allegiances, tracing the path from a botched coup right on Venezuela’s shores to courtroom battles & global manhunts. With unprecedented access to key players on all sides, it reveals the hidden negotiations, betrayals, and high-stakes maneuvering that continue to shape the story in real time.

Men of War is co-directed by producers / doc filmmakers Billy Corben (director of the films Raw Deal: A Question of Consent, Cocaine Cowboys 1 & 2, Square Grouper, Limelight, Dawg Fight, Screwball, Magic City Hustle, 537 Votes, God Forbid) & Jen Gatien (producer on The Girl Is in Trouble, Dixieland, My Dead Boyfriend, Midnight Sun, The Big Take, Measure of Revenge). Produced by Alfred Spellman, Billy Corben & Jen Gatien. This initially premiered at the 2024 Toronto Film Festival last year. The film already opened in select theaters earlier this year. Neon debuts the Men of War doc on VOD starting September 9th, 2025.

“You are all my favorites.” Netflix has revealed the official trailer for an indie film from Taiwan titled Left-Handed Girl, made by filmmaker Shih-Ching Tsou as her second feature film and first time directing solo. She has been working with director Sean Baker for years previously, co-directing Take Out with him and producing many of his other films. Now she’s off creating her own projects and this is her first major breakout feature. It premiered at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival to many great reviews this year, and next plays at TIFF and Vancouver and London this fall before it hits theaters in November. A single mother and her two daughters relocate to Taipei, Taiwan to open a night market stall, each navigating the challenges of adapting to their new environment while striving to maintain family unity. The focus is on the youngest daughter who is left handed, which they think is an omen, but she is actually just the cutest and coolest girl there is. Starring Shih-Yuan Ma, Janel Tsai, Nina Ye, and Teng-Hui Huang. I saw this in Cannes and it’s really, really charming and upbeat and vibrant film. Highly recommend it. All of the cinematography is so vivid & flashy, but this vibe pulls viewers right into the experience of living in this bustling city of Taipei.

Here’s the official trailer (+ poster) for Shih-Ching Tsou’s film Left-Handed Girl, direct from YouTube:

A single mother and her two daughters return to Taipei after several years of living in the countryside to open a stand at a buzzing night market. Each in their way will have to adapt to this new environment to make ends meet and help maintain the family unity. But when their traditional grandfather forbids his youngest left-handed granddaughter from using her “devil hand,” generations of family secrets begin to unravel. Left-Handed Girl is directed by Taiwanese filmmaker Shih-Ching Tsou, making her solo feature directorial debut after co-directing Take Out previously and producing Sean Baker’s Tangerine, The Florida Project, and Red Rocket. The screenplay is written by Shih-Ching Tsou and Sean Baker. Produced by Shih-Ching Tsou, Sean Baker, Mike Goodridge, Jean Labadie, Alice Labadie. This initially premiered at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival earlier this year. Netflix will debut Shih-Ching Tsou’s Left-Handed Girl film in select US theaters on November 14th, 2025, and streaming on November 28th this fall. Who wants to watch?
