Colin Farrell Reminisces On Being A True Gangster In The First Trailer For THE PENGUIN
Max has just dropped our first look at Colin Farrell (In Bruges, The Banshees of Inisherin) as the infamous Batman foe, Oswald Cobblepot, in their trailer for THE PENGUIN. The show will reach screens in the Fall and, judging from the teaser, looks to be a dark gangster epic. They’ve certainly captured the look and feel of Matt Reeves’ The Batman. Only natural really since Reeeves produces the show alongside Farrell and showrunner, Lauren LeFranc (Impulse) who also writes the series. Craig Zobel, director of the much loved Max series, Mare of Easttown, will helm the first three episodes.

Streaming Sleepers: SAILOR SUIT AND MACHINE GUN, A Fully-Loaded Genre Classic
Heroines in sailor suit school uniforms and delinquent female badassery were a high mark in Showa era cinema.

The movie is a story of boyhood, bloody knuckles and Bruce Lee worship set in the 70s and I first learned about this film back many years ago when I was a HKFlix customer.
Streaming Sleepers: Johnnie To’s BREAKING NEWS Is All The Buzz On HiYAH!
I’ve been on a bit of a Nick Cheung spell since last week having only recently been able to import a Hong Kong blu-ray of Dante Lam’s MMA action drama, Unbeatable, and reliving his role opposite Louis Koo and Sean Lau in the late Benny Chan’s The White Storm.
