Trailer: Jupiter Ascending starring Channing Tatum

Shirtless Channing Tatum stars as muscled, elfin warrior in “Jupiter Ascending”

First trailer for the upcoming “Jupiter Ascending” starring Channing Tatum and Mila Kunis:

Jupiter Jones (Kunis) was born under a night sky, with signs predicting that she was destined for great things.

Now grown, Jupiter dreams of the stars but wakes up to the cold reality of a job cleaning other people’s houses and an endless run of bad breaks.

Only when Caine (Tatum), a muscled, elfin, genetically engineered ex-military hunter, arrives on Earth to track her down does Jupiter begin to glimpse the fate that has been waiting for her all along—her genetic signature marks her as next in line for an extraordinary inheritance that could alter the balance of the cosmos.

Trailer: “Philomena” starring Judi Dench

Judi Dench stars in the title role of Philomena Lee, a woman determined to recover a son she was forced to give up for adoption in the 1950s, when she bore the child out of wedlock within a conservative Irish Catholic community.

With the assistance of a reporter from the BBC (Steve Coogan), Philomena embarks on her quest for reunion and redemption with a grown son, who, as she discovers, is a gay politician.

Based on a true story, the film has garnered acclaim from critics, who hail Dench’s performance as well as the screenplay, written by Coogan, which moves the audience to both laughter and tears.

Philomena premieres this weekend in New York and Los Angeles. Watch the trailer below.

DVD: “Cloudburst”

Thom Fitzgerald (The Hanging Garden) directs Oscar-winners Olympia Dukakis and Brenda Fricker in his critically acclaimed lesbian road movie, Cloudburst.

Dukakis and Fricker star as a long-term lesbian couple who escape from the nursing home to road trip from Maine to Nova Scotia to get legally married.

With a latter-day Thelma and Louise vibe,  they pick up a handsome gay male hitchhiker and encounter various other complications on their way to what viewers hope is a happy ending.

The film, which slowly made its way through the festival circuit last year to broad international acclaim, finally has a U.S. release date; Cloudburst will be available on digital platforms on Tuesday, and on DVD July 30 from lesbian-owned distributor Wolfe Video.
