It’s amazing how much cold, hard cash Hollywood will spend to make a pile of steaming shite, which is how I would describe many of the big movie releases in 2016 thus far.

Fear not though, because there is light at the end of the movie-going tunnel. We’ve shown you a few trailers the past few months to set the ball rolling, so let’s keep that momentum going with three more.

These below come from the Daily Beast‘s must-see list, so apologies for all the American spelling y’all. Action:

AUTHOR: THE JT LEROY STORY

Jeff Feuerzeig’s documentary Author: The JT LeRoy Story delves into one of the greatest literary hoaxes of the 20th Century: a counterculture author/novelist by the name of Jeremiah “Terminator” LeRoy, an abused, drug-addled, gender fluid teenager who channeled his chaotic life into his prose, culminating in the acclaimed 1999 collection of short stories The Heart Is Deceitful Above All Things. Of course, it was later revealed that there was no JT LeRoy, and that is was merely an avatar created by the writer Laura Albert, raising interesting questions about authorship, responsibility, and the lengths to which someone will go to perpetuate a lie.

MASTERMINDS

This heist-comedy from filmmaker Jared Hess (Napoleon Dynamite) was supposed to hit theaters last summer—that is, before its studio, Relativity Media, went belly-up. It’s based on a real-life story about a night guard for an armored car company in the South who attempts to pull off one of the biggest heists in American history, stealing $17 million. The film boasts an all-star comedy cast, including Zach Galifianakis, Owen Wilson, Kristen Wiig, Jason Sudeikis, andSNL’s Kate McKinnon and Leslie Jones (in other words, most of the cast of Ghostbusters).

AMERICAN HONEY

t’s a road movie centering on Star (newcomer Sasha Lane) who joins a wild band of hell-raising misfits as they party, fuck, and fight their way across the Midwest to an addictive soundtrack. Arnold’s film, which received raves out of Cannes, also stars Shia LaBeouf, Arielle Holmes, Riley Keough, and McCaul Lombardi.

There’s plenty more where those three came from, so bookmark the Daily Beast’s list HERE and enjoy.
