“Is it worth it to possibly lose a friend?” Red Bull Media has unveiled a trailer for a documentary film called Chasing Niagara, profiling the life of “extreme kayaker” Rafa Ortiz and his dream of paddling over the Niagara Falls. The doc looks at the way he takes big risks to live a life on the edge, literally, kayaking over waterfalls and in places where no one has ever kayaked before. Of course Red Bull is releasing this film, it’s right up their alley. The footage is impressive as it seems they’ve captured some of the best shots they could of Rafa and his crew, including footage from cameras mounted to his helmet. I’m a big fan and supporter of adventure junkies and risk takers, and this looks like another exhilarating, inspiring doc about them. Enjoy. ›››

“If you leave enough behind, then death isn’t the end.” Soda Pictures has debuted an official UK trailer for The Library Suicides, a film from Wales made entirely in the Welsh language. It’s adapted from Fflur Dafydd’s bestselling novel titled Y Llyfrgell, the original Welsh title, and it’s about two identical twin sisters who investigate the suicide (or potential murder) of their mother, who was a librarian at the National Library of Wales. Actress Catrin Stewart (best known from “Doctor Who” and “Stella”) plays dual roles as both daughters, and the cast also includes Dyfan Dwyfor, Ryland Teifi, Carwyn Glyn and Sharon Morgan. The way this trailer plays out, I would say it looks more fun than it does “thrilling”. Take a look. ›››

“Who are these people?” 20th Century Fox has unveiled a trailer for Greg Mottola’s latest comedy, titled Keeping Up with the Joneses, which is almost a bit like Mr. & Mrs. Smith about a couple next door that are actually super spies. On the other side are Isla Fisher and Zach Galifianakis, an ordinary suburban couple that are in for a wild ride when they figure this out. Jon Hamm and Gal Gadot play the “covert operative” couple – whoever cast them did a perfect job. The cast includes Patton Oswalt, Matt Walsh, Kevin Dunn and Maribeth Monroe. This looks like it should be harmless entertainment, right? Enjoy. ›››

“She saved me, and you’re still afraid of her?” Whoa! Where did this come from? Warner Bros in the UK has debuted a trailer for an adaptation of a book called The Girl With All The Gifts. The best way to describe this would be to call it a post-apocalyptic zombie movie meets the X-Men, with a young girl who has a special ability. She seems to be the best hope for the human race in a world overrun by the living dead. The movie stars Sennia Nanua, Gemma Arterton, Glenn Close and Paddy Considine. There are some fantastic shots in this trailer, and it sets up the story in a very thrilling way that makes me intrigued to find out more.

Well, I’m here to say you can. Let’s take a look at why that’s still possible. Pine’s intriguing quote encouraged me to write some of my own thoughts about the Star Trek franchise and how it can still be intelligent today. ›››

“They’re gonna kick your ass… and get away with it.” Icon Film Distribution from the UK has debuted an official trailer for John Michael McDonagh’s War on Everyone, a wacky and totally absurd new comedy from the filmmaker behind Calvary and The Guard.

This film received some rave reviews out of Berlinale and SXSW, where it premiered, and is the kind of totally wacky comedy that will have a few people falling out of their seats with laughter.
