Watch Movies Free





With the clock winding down on Barack Obama’s presidency, a new film promises to look back at where it all began. Vikram Gandhi‘s Barry is a portrait of Obama in his college years, with Devon Terrell playing the future POTUS as a fresh-faced young man still figuring out his place in the world. Also starring are Anya Taylor-Joy (The Witch) as his girlfriend, Ashley Judd as his mother, and Ellar Coltrane (Boyhood) and Jason Mitchell (Straight Outta Compton) as a couple of his friends.

Barry was developed and shot well before the 2016 presidential election, of course, but it reads as especially bittersweet after the past couple of weeks. That said, this movie looks worth watching no matter when it’s released. Terrell has a tricky line to walk here. He needs to copy enough of Obama’s mannerisms that we recognize him instantly, while being careful not to let mimicry overwhelm the rest of his performance. Based on the trailer, it looks like he pulls it off. Similarly, the film touches on themes of race and identity without making those the central focus at the expense of the characters — they’re just part of the fabric of existence for its lead, who doesn’t know at this point that he’s fated to become America’s first black president.

Reviews for this one were very solid out of TIFF, so if you’d like to give Barry a try, it will be on Netflix December 16.


A young Barack Obama, known to his friends as “Barry,” arrives in New York City in the fall of 1981 to begin his junior year at Columbia University. In a crime-ridden and racially charged environment, Barry finds himself pulled between various social spheres and struggles to maintain a series of increasingly strained relationships with his Kansas-born mother, his estranged Kenyan father, and his classmates.Barry is the story of a young man grappling with those same issues that his country, and arguably the world, are still coming to terms with 35 years later.

TNT Orders ‘Snowpiercer’ Pilot From ‘Terminator: Sarah Connor Chronicles’ Creator

Hot Movies Free

We recently learned a Snowpiercer television show is in the works. Terminator: Sarah Connor Chronicles‘ creator Josh Friedman is leading the way on the series based on Bong Joon-ho‘s creative and thrilling 2014 film. Bong and Oldboy director Chan-wook Park are executive producing the show, for which TNT has already ordered a pilot.

Below, get the latest updates on the Snowpiercer TV series.



Snowpiercer was an international box office hit and attracted plenty of passionate fans. The film takes place in a near future Ice Age where the last of humanity is living on a train powered by a perpetual-motion engine. A class-based system divides the train. Tired of their living conditions, the train’s poorest inhabitants (led by Chris Evans) start a rebellion and head for the front of the train.

How much Friedman is drawing from the French graphic novel Le Transperceneige or the film is unclear, but everything we’ve read so far indicates the movie, understandably, is the show’s key inspiration. According to Deadline, TNT has ordered the pilot written by Friedman, who also worked on the Locke & Key show we sadly never saw. He’s the writer, executive producer, and showrunner on the Snowpiercer TV series. Tomorrow Studios’ Marty Adelstein (Prison Break) and Becky Clements (Aquarius) are executive producing the series, which is co-produced by their studio, T. Tomorrow Studios, and Turner’s Studio T.

In a statement, Sarah Aubrey, EVP Original Programming at TNT, said her network is excited to show a “world where humanity is pushed to the extreme.”

Snowpiercer has one of the most original concepts to hit the screen in the last decade, and it’s one that offers numerous opportunities for deeper exploration in a series format. We look forward to expanding TNT’s relationship with Tomorrow Studios and their take on a world where humanity is pushed to the extreme.

Producer Marty Adelstein added:


TNT has become a great producing partner to Tomorrow Studios and we are excited to continue our relationship with them on Snowpiercer, for which we not only have a pilot but are writing multiple scripts. This is an incredibly powerful story and one for which finding the perfect home was imperative to its success.

Snowpiercer isn’t the only film-to-tv adaptation TNT is developing with T. Tomorrow Studios and Turner’s Studio T. Just last month TNT ordered a pilot of the Let the Right One In TV series from both production companies. TNT’s remake of Animal Kingdom proved to be a success this past summer and is returning for a second season, but whether Snowpiercer and Let the Right One In will have as smooth as transitions from the big screen to television as Animal Kingdom did, we’ll have to wait and see.
