Must Watch: Dustin Hoffman's Last Chance Harvey Trailer
FirstShowing.net — ... for Joel Hopkins' romantic drama Last Chance Harvey has debuted today. Starring Oscar winners Dustin Hoffman and Emma Thompson, the film tells a heartwarming story about a desolate man who finds his romantic spirits lifted by a chance encounter with a woman. This trailer starts out very sad but ends so wonderfully. Call me a softy, but I really loved watching this. Something about it just makes me the smile the whole time. I can't wait to see it during the AFI Fest at its world premiere on November 8th. Until then, I strongly suggest everyone take a ...

Trailer: ‘Last Chance Harvey’
Fataculture — ... luck, just about to lose his job and possibly his sanity until he meets a women (Thompson) in one of those chance meetings in life that, from that moment onwards, leaves him a changed man forever, for the better.

I really loved this film, so much so that I didn't want it to end, I wanted to just keep ...

Official US Trailer for Oscar Hopeful Italian Film Gomorra
FirstShowing.net — ... (not the Palme d'Or) at Cannes earlier this year. The film is a violent inside look at Italy's most dangerous modern-day crime families. I actually saw Gomorra back at the AFI Fest in November and honestly really did not like it at all. It's a very bitter and dry film that doesn't have an actual plot, it's just a series of very weird stories about various young members of this crime family. However, it is winning plenty of awards, so I'll feature this trailer anyway for those that might be interested. ...
