"I want to grab them from the sky and throw them back to wherever." They have arrived. Are you ready? 🛸 It's time for something strange and unsettling. The highly anticipated sci-fi short film From Beyond is available to watch online now. This was initially teased last year with a trailer just before its Fantasia Film Festival premiere. After playing at fests, it's ready to be seen by everyone brave enough to watch. Described simply as a "kaleidoscopic depiction of alien life on Earth." I like Short of the Week's intro to this, saying it "gives the impression that it shouldn’t even be watched, as if it was something the audience has stumbled upon and wasn't meant to see."

"Some friendships are worth more than you could ever wish for." Peacock has revealed the official trailer for a holiday comedy called Genie , directed by filmmaker Sam Boyd . This genie-in-a-bottle story mashed up with a Christmas movie comes from a screenplay written by the talented British writer Richard Curits (best known for Love Actually, Four Weddings and a Funeral, Notting Hill, About Time ), adapting his own 1991 teleplay called "Bernard and the Genie". Now updated for modern times with more awkward jokes. A holiday fairytale comedy about a genie, a man, and landing one last chance to fix the mess you’ve made of your life. With his job, life & family unraveling around him, a despondent Bernard ( Paapa Essiedu ) dusts off a jewelry box and unintentionally releases genie Flora, who just might be able to help him. Maybe. It's a longshot, frankly. Starring Melissa McCarthy as the genie, plus Denée Benton , Marc Maron , Jordyn McIntosh , Luis Guzmán ,
