Matt Lauer, once a staple of television news, had a knack for interviews that could charm as well as provoke. His approach often straddled the line between being relatable and invasive, prompting a variety of reactions from viewers and guests alike. One particular instance of this dynamic occurred in 2009 during Lauer’s interview with Sandra Bullock, which reignited discussions about uncomfortable media interactions.

In the now-infamous clip, Lauer opened the conversation with a remark that many viewers find cringeworthy, stating that he has seen Bullock n*ked since her last visit. Although the actress responded with her characteristic grace, the discomfort of the moment feels invasive in hindsight, especially when viewed through the lens of today’s awareness regarding boundaries & respect.

Sandra Bullock, a luminary performer in Hollywood known for her acting range and down-to-earth personality, has had much of her personal life scrutinized under the public lens. Despite her efforts to remain private, her romantic entanglements, marriage, and experiences as a mother have often become subjects of intrigue for fans.

Bullock’s personal life has oscillated between moments of great fulfillment and profound difficulty, from her ill-fated marriage to Jesse James, to her poignant, long-term partnership with Bryan Randall, and her transformative journey into motherhood. Below is an exploration of the key relationships in her life, alongside her familial commitments, that have shaped her identity.

What happened to Sandra Bullock’s husband?

Sandra Bullock married Jesse James in 2005, which was perceived as an unusual match: she, the celebrated actor at the height of her career, paired with James,...

Sandra Bullock is currently on a break from her Hollywood career. Her world was turned upside down when her long-time partner Bryan Randall passed away last year after a long battle with Als. She is currently home, present for her two children who were equally devastated by the loss. However, fans hope that she will return to acting soon and sources report that attempts to bring her back are already in full swing.

At this stage, Bullock wouldn’t probably return to any project and work with anyone. She needs a safe space that allows her to take things slow. One project has reportedly presented itself as sources suggest that the filmmakers of Two Weeks Notice are interested in a sequel. Bullock might consider reuniting with Hugh Grant and director Marc Lawrence but under one condition.

Despite the chemistry between Ben Affleck and Sandra Bullock in their 1999 movie Forces of Nature, make no mistake; the duo apparently couldn’t stand each other in real life. And Affleck seemingly gave a hint of this absurd collaboration with Bullock during an interview with EW. Spilling the beans on his baffling experience working with Bullock, the actor implied that his co-star was like an impenetrable vault.

Considering how Ben Affleck is known for his candidness, the actor found himself confounded by Sandra Bullock who turned out to be as enigmatic as a locked diary. Therefore, during the interview, Affleck couldn’t help but declare his frustration with his co-star who on one hand attempted to keep her private life behind closed doors, while on the other hand kept on rambling about absurd things.

In the cutthroat world of Hollywood, only a select few manage to sustain long-term success, and even fewer do so with both grace and strategic brilliance. Sandra Bullock is one of those rare stars who has not only built a career on her acting talent but also demonstrated a keen business sense that has led her to become one of the industry’s most successful figures.

After ten years of marriage and three years of being on their separate paths, Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner finalized their divorce in 2018. To this day, they continue remaining in each other’s good books, with Jennifer Garner reportedly being a great help during Bennifer 2.0’s troubled marriage. The ex-couple had their fair share of ups and downs and eventually, fate broke them up.

Jennifer Garner has previously vouched about how Ben Affleck possessed the power of making you feel like the most special person on the planet one moment, and leave you hanging the next. As it turns out, this was exactly what Sandra Bullock was talking about years ago when she filmed Forces of Nature with the Dceu actor.

Let’s rewind to 1999 when Ben Affleck and Sandra Bullock joined forces for their rom-com Forces of Nature, and hated every second of it. Well, maybe not the movie, but surely the production and shooting were hectic for Affleck and Bullock, given their outspoken disdain for each other.

Appearing as Ben and Sarah in Bronwen Hughes’ movie about a life-changing romance after a series of disasters, Ben Affleck and Sandra Bullock played onscreen love interests. But when it came to their offscreen chemistry and relationship, well the duo proved to be like oxygen and fire—highly flammable.

We can assure you, that in the whirlwind of Hollywood’s romantic comedies, few pairings have been as tumultuous as that of Ben Affleck and Sandra Bullock. Appearing together for Bronwen Hughes’ 1999 movie Forces of Nature,...

After a busy August with the Season 2 premiere of “The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power,” which continues throughout September with new episodes through Oct. 3, “Batman: Caped Crusader,” and more, Amazon streaming services Prime Video and Freevee will have a comparably quiet September.

Most of the action for the month will come from Prime Video’s sports options. After the Sept. 5 Kickoff Game at Arrowhead Stadium with the defending Super Bowl Champion Kansas City Chiefs going up against the Baltimore Ravens, Prime Video’s third season of Thursday Night Football begins with AFC East champs Buffalo Bills taking on the Miami Dolphins in Miami. The WNBA and Nwsl also continue their seasons on Prime Video, with matches all month long from New York Liberty, Phoenix Mercury, Angel City Fc, and more top teams.

But Prime Video will welcome a few new series this month, including the highly publicized...

“Twisters” is sweeping audiences off their couches and into the theaters.

The standalone follow-up to “Twister” (1996) grossed over $80 million in its first weekend and was the third highest-grossing film of 2024.

Glen Powell, Daisy Edgar-Jones and Anthony Ramos lead the disaster film as a ragtag group of storm chasers. Jones plays Kate Carter, a once disaster-seeker turned to corporate weather pro, while Powell plays Tyler Owens, a viral “tornado wrangler.” The two team up with Javi, a longtime friend of Kate’s played by Anthony Ramos, to tackle the biggest twister Oklahoma’s seen in generations.

The cast also features some newcomers but (spoiler alert!) no cameo from Helen Hunt. For the complete “Twisters” cast and character guide, keep reading.

Disney has not been having a great year. Frankly, it hasn’t had a good year in a couple of years. Their stock is in decline and is well under $100 a share again. “Inside Out 2” did great at the box office and is Pixar’s top-performing film, but just one hit isn’t enough to pull Disney out of its plunge of a lifetime.

But why is Disney in decline?

There are a few reasons that the Walt Disney Company is in a “hole” and some of it was dug by themselves.

The box office

While we have some good news with the fantastic performance of “Inside Out 2” in 2023 the company lost quite a bit of money at the box office. Five of their eight releases lost money and one, “The Little Mermaid,” barely broke even.

Estimates put the losses at over $850 million for the company.

What is Bridgerton Season 3 About?

In Season 3 of Bridgerton, Penelope decides it is time to move on from her long-standing crush on Colin and focus on finding a husband who respects her independence, allowing her to maintain her secret identity as Lady Whistledown.

However, her attempts in the marriage scene are met with failure due to her lack of confidence.

Bridgerton became a significant hit almost immediately when it debuted on Netflix in late 2020.

The series, created by Chris Van Dusen under the banner of Shonda Rhimes' Shondaland, dealt with the dating machinations of the upper classes in Regency-era England.

The second season arrived on Netflix in 2022, with a spinoff, Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story, debuting on the service in the spring of 2023.

Now, the main Bridgerton series is set to return to Netflix with a two-part third season after the show was renewed for third and fourth seasons back in 2021.

The new season will consist of two halves, each lasting four episodes, with the first four arriving on May 16 and the second four on June 13.

Initially set for release in 2023, the third season was delayed to 2024.

While production was complete before the SAG-AFTRA strike, Netflix reportedly did not want to release the show at a time when the actors were not available to promote it.

Lately, Disney has seemed to be throwing together relatively inexpensive “attractions” together to make it seem like they have “big announcements” for Walt Disney World. The most recent attraction has fans split.

Yesterday, a video surfaced of the new “Forces of Nature” show in Epcot’s Inspiration Garden area. Disney released the new show with no announcement.

The new show features five acrobats doing an “antigravity” performance themed to Nature and four elements.

There are six shows daily, Saturday – Wednesday, starting at 10:15.

Having shows like this pop up during various festivals at Epcot is not unusual. Acrobatic shows happen all the time at the park. It’s just odd that Disney keeps talking about all the money they will spend on theme park attractions, and we...

Netflix debuted a one-minute clip from Bridgerton season three during a special fan event featuring the cast, showrunner Jess Brownell, executive producer Shonda Rhimes, and author Julia Quinn. The clip, which was brought online immediately following the event, focuses on the prickly relationship between Penelope and Colin at the beginning of the long-awaited new season.

During the spoiler-free event, Rhimes said she’s most excited that this new season features a love story between characters we already know and root for. She also teased that a lot of characters will be finding themselves in new, interesting situations.

“Colin and Penelope are underdogs in many ways…we get to see these characters step into their power this year, which I think will make a lot of people who have ever had an unrequited crush or felt like an underdog before feel very seen,” added Jess Brownell.

Bridgerton Season 3 is about to be the talk of the ton.

In honor of Valentine’s Day, the cast of the Netflix series as well as executive producer Shonda Rhimes, showrunner Jess Brownell, and author Julia Quinn gathered in London to discuss some of what’s in store for the upcoming third installment. As we already know, Season 3 will follow Penelope and Colin’s love story from Romancing Mister Bridgerton.

“I think what I’m most excited about for the fans and for everybody is that usually we’re meeting a new person who’s falling in love with one of our regulars,” Rhimes said. “This time, we know the people who are falling in love. We’re already rooting for them, because we already know them.”

Brownell added that this season is going to “make a lot of people who’ve ever had an unrequited crush or felt like an underdog before,...

In keeping with the formula of previous seasons and the Julia Quinn novels they’re adapted from, this coming edition will follow the romantic journey of a new sibling in the elite Bridgerton clan in 19th century England. Season 3 turns to the third eldest sibling, Colin (Luke Newton), and his love interest Penelope (Nicola Coughlan), who is part of the neighboring Featherington family.

There’ll be some happy holidays on Prime Video in December, as the streamer’s seasonal offerings hope to keep the fires warm in your home this month!

As such, there are quite a few new original holiday movies coming to the service. At the beginning of the month, Eddie Murphy stars in Candy Cane Lane. In this film, the Beverly Hills Cop and Coming to America star plays a determined man who is willing to go above and beyond to win the annual Christmas home decoration contest in his neighborhood – even if it means making a very magical deal.

The DC universe will also be getting festive in December thanks to Merry Little Batman, an animated feature that sees Batman’s son, Damian Wayne, stumble upon a villainous plot on Christmas eve, one that may give him a chance to save the day when his dad isn’t around.

Kicking October to the curb and bringing in some November goodness is a fresh slate of new content headed to Paramount Global’s streamer Paramount+, including the sequel to the hit 1997 film “Good Burger.”

Paramount+ started off November by adding more than 30 titles to its library, some of which include “Above the Rim,” Season 15 of “Ink Master,” “Gladiator” and “The Color Purple.”

And if you’re looking for some holiday movies to watch with the family, you can deck the halls with “Happy Christmas,” “Mistletoe Ranch” or “Christmas Eve.” When the kids go to sleep, adult-friendly treats like “Bad Santa” and “Bad Santa 2” are also available.

The highly-anticipated “Good Burger 2,” which stars Kel Mitchell, Keenan Thompson, Shar Jackson, Carmen Electra, Josh Server, Alex R. Hibbert, Lori Beth Denberg and Lil Rel Howery, hits the platform on Nov. 22

Here’s everything coming to Paramount+ this November, from “The Truman Show” to “Paw Patrol.

Ben Affleck worked alongside Speed star Sandra Bullock for the first time in the 1999 romcom Forces of Nature. Bullock and Affleck got along well enough, but there were some quirks each of them had that the other couldn’t stand.

Ben Affleck once shared what annoyed him about Sandra Bullock Sandra Bullock and Ben Affleck | Christopher Polk/Getty Images

In a resurfaced interview with Entertainment Weekly, Bullock rattled off a few things that frustrated her about working with Affleck. The first trait that came to mind was Affleck’s lack of punctuality.

“Ben can never show up anywhere on time,” Bullock said. “When he’s with you he gives you so much attention you feel like a queen, so when he says ‘I’ll call you for dinner’ and you don’t hear from him, you feel like, ‘What did I do wrong?’”

But it helped that Bullock wasn’t...

Jack Kehler, a character actor who had supporting roles in dozens of TV shows and films over four decades including the Dude’s landlord in The Big Lebowski, has died. He was 75.

Born on May 22, 1946, in Philadelphia, the elder Kehler studied with Sanford Meisner and Wynn Handman and was a lifetime member of The Actors Studio. He was a regular on the short-lived ABC adventure series McKenna and in Season 2 of ABC’s Murder One. He recurred on such shows as The Man in the High Castle, mid-2000s ABC sitcom I’m with Her and the star-packed 1986 miniseries Fresno.

Exclusive: Eight-time Grammy nominee and SAG winner Janelle Monaé (Hidden Figures) is set to star as iconic entertainer and freedom fighter Josephine Baker in TV series De La Resistance, we can reveal.

Moonlight and Everything Everywhere All At Once outfit A24 is behind the buzzy package, which is currently being fought over by multiple streamers.

The focus of the drama will be on Baker’s role as a spy for the Allies during the French resistance helping defeat the Nazis, and on her experience as one of the world’s most iconic, talented and glamorous entertainers.

Monáe, who will also produce under her Wondaland banner, has long been a fan of Baker, even modelling her look at this week’s Met Gala (pictured above) on the woman known as “Black Venus” and the “Creole Goddess”.

Creator and showrunner will be Jennifer Yale, known for her work on See, Outlander and Underground.

Sandra Bullock is a highly accomplished and versatile actor who can absolutely nail drama, thrillers, and sci-fi just as well as rom-coms. But we do love a Sandy B rom-com!

Her latest, The Lost City, sees her play a romance author who ends up on a jungle adventure with her ditzy cover model, played by Channing Tatum. It’s a very funny, good natured romp that harks back to the romantic blockbusters of the ’80s like Romancing the Stone. And it has reminded us how Sandra Bullock is good for the soul. Here’s a round up of some of the best Sandra Bullock rom-coms to tickle your fancy.

When you’re a streaming service, there’s only one way to celebrate the New Year. And that’s by IP mining to bring back a franchise that had no business in coming back!

With its list of new releases for January 2022, Hulu is raiding CBS’s closet and premiering How I Met Your Father, a continuation of the sitcom How I Met Your Mother. Complaints about unnecessary rebooting aside, perhaps its worth giving the Hillary Duff starring series a chance. If nothing else, telling a story about 2022 from a future perspective might play well.

Aside from Himyf, there aren’t any other Hulu original series to speak of. Instead, Hulu is opting to once again beef up its film library. January 1 sees the arrival of Master and Commander, Seven, and a whole bunch of Star Treks. Hulu will also be the streaming home of some recently released film Indies,...

The following The Flash article contains spoilers through Season 7, Episode 15.

The Flash Season 7 Episode 15

The Flash isn’t really the sort of show that does a lot of what you might call long-lead storytelling, so the fact that the show has been teasing the return of villainous speedster Godspeed for over a year is a fairly unprecedented event.

Granted, “Enemy at the Gates” is maybe not the episode that all that build-up deserves, since it tells us precious little about where all the Godspeed clones are coming from or what they want. But it does feature several fantastic fight sequences between Barry, Frost, new Team Flash sort of friend Mark Stevens/Chillblaine, and a half dozen Godspeeds. And though it doesn’t make a ton of sense just yet, it’s still pretty darn entertaining to watch.

Do I have any idea what these goons want from Barry or why...

“Animal Kingdom” is adding four recurring stars to its cast for the TNT drama’s sixth and final season.

Jasper Polish, Kevin Csolak, Darren Mann, and Stevie Lynn Jones will all join the show alongside stars Shawn Hatosy, Ben Robson, Jake Weary, Finn Cole, Leila George, Rigo Sanchez, and Jon Beavers.

Polish plays young Julia, described as beautiful, intelligent, and edgy. Although she’s an excellent student, she’s also the type of chick who sells tabs of LSD because she thinks it’s cool. She’s torn between loving and hating her mother, Smurf.

Polish is repped by Buchwald and Management 360.

Csolak plays Andrew, a young version of Shawn Hatosy’s character. Andrew is intense and struggling with an undiagnosed mental illness. He possesses a simmering rage but also instinctively searches for redemption as he struggles with his darkest impulses. He is completely devoted to Smurf, to his...

After quietly removing its mysterious new thriller “Antebellum” from the release calendar in July, Lionsgate has opted to release the Janelle Monáe-starring horror film on VOD. The film was previously set for an April release, before being pushed to August 21 and later to an undetermined date as the pandemic continued to impact an ever-changing theatrical release calendar. The film will now hit premium VOD on Friday, September 18, where it will be available on most VOD platforms for $19.99 per rental. The film will be released theatrically in select international markets.

Per the film’s official synopsis, the film follows “successful author Veronica (Monáe) [who] finds herself trapped in a horrifying reality and must uncover the mind-bending mystery before it’s too late.” The cast also includes Marque Richardson II, Eric Lange, Jack Huston, Kiersey Clemons, Tongayi Chirisa, Gabourey Sidibe, Rob Aramayo, Lily Cowles, and Jena Malone.

HBO Max has a major job on its hands to justify its approximately $15 a month subscription fee, especially given the strong competition out there from established names like Netflix and Amazon Prime. Disney Plus faced a similar challenge last year in arriving onto an already-saturated streaming marketplace, but at least had the advantage of major series like The Mandalorian to promote. While HBO Max will eventually be home to the Snyder cut of Justice League, and has some originals for its first week of availability, the big draw right now is its enormous back-catalogue of movies.

Given the various corporate elements that are going into HBO Max, including the Warner Bros. library, owners AT&T will be hoping that the combination of brand recognition for HBO programming, and a deep bench of movies, will convince people to add a new subscription to their list. To this end, HBO Max have added 122 films today,...

Do you like lists? Well, here’s a doozy. Below is everything coming to Netflix, Disney+, HBO Max, Hulu and Amazon Prime in June 2020.

Though the summer sun is starting to beat down, most of us are still being encouraged to stay indoors for Covid-19 related reasons. It’s not much fun, but at the very least, there’s an absolute ton of stuff landing in June that should distract you from the call of the beach.

Of particular note is the newly launched HBO Max, which is trying to catch the eye of potential subscribers with a red-hot first month. There’s an excellent selection of movies coming on June 1st, with horror titles like An American Werewolf in London (still the best werewolf movie ever made), Final Destinations 1-4, From Dusk til Dawn and Lifeforce.

Later in the month, there are some more recent films showing up, including...

Among Max Originals coming in June are a new Adventure Time special, Doom Patrol Season 2 and Search Party Season 3. You’ll also be able to stream the most recent episodes of HBO original series, including Insecure, I Know This Much Is True...

Welcome to the HBO Max era! WarnerMedia’s streaming giant arrived on May 27 and is absolutely bursting with Warner movies, TV shows, and other titles. But time waits for no man or streaming service and each new month HBO Max will be expected to bring new content to the table. Things get started in June 2020 with the first batch of HBO Max new releases.

To be clear, the majority of the original series coming to HBO Max actually belongs to HBO. Shows like I May Destroy You (June 7), Perry Mason (June 21), and I’ll Be Gone in the Dark (June 28) all belong to HBO…which now just happens to be a part of HBO Max. Confusing stuff, we know, but rest assured that if you have HBO Max you’ll get these shows…and if you only have HBO, you can go ahead and just get HBO Max for the same price anyway.

HBO Max launches May 27 with a whole lot of content ready to stream immediately. But throughout the nascent streamer’s first month, even more titles will be added, from HBO Max originals like “Adventure Time: Distant Lands Bmo,” to old favorites like “Amelie,” “Black Beauty” and “The Bucket List.”

Other brand-new HBO Max originals include the third season of comedy “Search Party,” and the second seasons of “Doom Patrol,” and “Esme & Roy,” all coming June 25, and on June 18, the second season of “Summer Camp Island” and the series premiere kids competition series “Karma.”

For a list of everything that will be available on launch day, look here.

Before HBO Max even launches — it goes live May 27 — WarnerMedia is trying to lure new subscribers by revealing what’s coming next month to the streamer.

The June lineup highlights on HBO Max include all 23 seasons of “South Park,” snapped up in a multiyear, $500 million-plus deal; James Cameron’s Oscar-winning “Titanic”; and the “Adventure Time: Distant Lands” special featuring lovable robot Bmo.

As of this writing, however, WarnerMedia has not locked in HBO Max deals with Comcast, Roku or Amazon.

New Max Originals this June include kids’ adventure competition series “Karma,” Season 3 of comedy “Search Party” and the second seasons of “Doom Patrol,” “Esme & Roy” and “Summer Camp Island.”

Movie highlights include “Titanic,” “Veronica Mars,” “Magic Mike” starring Channing Tatum,...

Welcome to The B-Side, from The Film Stage. Here we talk about movie stars and not the movies that made them famous or kept them famous, but the ones they made in between.

Today we don our phoenix tattoos, we get honest with ourselves, we blaze our very own comeback trail talking Ben Affleck! With his drama The Way Back in theaters, we discuss four past B-Sides you may have missed: 1999’s Sandy Bullock-meets-Ben rom-com Forces of Nature, 2000’s Gwyneth-meets-Ben high-concept romance Bounce, 2002’s Sam Jackson-meets-Ben thriller Changing Lanes and, last-but-least, 2006’s Ben-plays-Superman noir Hollywoodland. In between these B-sides exists the movie star’s career nadir, including Gigli, Paycheck, and Surviving Christmas (which we already discussed in our holiday episode).

There’s no question Hulu wants to get its viewers in the Halloween mood — the streaming service will add a fresh slate of horror movies to its collection once October hits.

Anticipated Hulu Originals will also premiere this coming month. Season 2 of “Light as a Feather” will launch on the streamer on Oct. 4, while “Looking for Alaska,” based on John Green’s best-selling novel of the same name, will premiere on Oct. 18.

Spooky season is upon us, and Hulu is getting into the spirit with a number of horror or Halloween-themed offerings on its October line-up.

Along with Hulu originals like the horror anthology “Into the Dark” and the second season of Stephen King’s “Castle Rock,” the streamer is also offering films from the “Saw,” “Blade” and “Hellraiser” franchises beginning next month. For the more faint of heart, Hulu is also offering three seasons of Food Network’s “Halloween Wars” and the surely adorable “Kids Halloween Baking Championship.”

Not specifically Halloween-themed, but potentially haunting: All six seasons of the original run of “The Hills” will be available to stream on Oct. 1 for those looking to revisit the halcyon days of reality television and questionable late-aughts fashion.

Amazon Prime Video has confirmed that five original shows will be debuting new episodes on the streaming service in September. Among these are the first seasons of the groundbreaking animated series “Undone,” which will be available in both 4K and Hrd, and the German import “Chris Tall Presentes,” an unscripted series starring the comedian. Another animated series, “Niko And The Sword of Light,” returns for a sophomore season. And “Transparent” will sign off with a sung finale.

The Amazon original film “Late Night” will start streaming justt a few months after its successful theatrical run. Mindy Kaling both wrote and starred in this wry look at the world of TV, with Emma Thompson stealing scenes as the beleaguered host of a failing talk show.

Below is the full schedule of everything that is coming to Amazon Prime Video in September 2019. Unlike Netflix, Amazon does not disclose the shows and movies...

Amazon is out with its list of new additions coming to Prime Video next month, and you’ll want to mark your calendar for the epic musical finale of “Transparent,” coming Sept. 27.

“Chris Tall Presents…” — the first unscripted German Amazon Original which features six episodes of the comedian performing stand-up and introducing his friends as guests — will premiere at a date still to be determined. The same is the case for “Family Man,” a new Amazon Original series which, according to the streaming giant, tells the story of a middle-class man who works for a special cell of the National Investigation Agency.

Other Prime Originals include the first seasons of “El Corazón de Sergio Ramos,” about the Spanish soccer player, and the animated series “Undone.” “Rango,” “Legally Blonde” and “Saturday Night Fever” are among some of the already released movies that will now be available on Prime.

Veteran actor Michael Cudlitz, best known for his role as Sergeant Abraham Ford on “The Walking Dead,” is running for the SAG-AFTRA board.

Cudlitz unveiled his candidacy Tuesday as part of the ruling Unite for Strength faction, which has also announced a re-election campaign for Gabrielle Carteris as president and Camryn Manheim as secretary-treasurer. It’s the first time that Cudlitz has sought an elected post at the union.

“The union’s been good to me so I thought it was time to give back,” he told Variety. “I like the way things are going and I want to see that continue.”

Carteris, who has been president since 2016, is facing challenges for the post from Matthew Modine and current secretary-treasurer Jane Austin. Election ballots will be mailed to dues-current members on July 29 and will be tabulated on Aug. 28. SAG-aftra represents about 160,000 performers.

The SAG-aftra national board has 70 members,...

Throughout his career, Bruce Campbell has played characters that have encountered the weird, the unexplainable, and the downright deadly, so it's only fitting that he's the host and executive producer of Travel Channel's Ripley’s Believe It or Not! reboot series, premiering on Sunday, June 9th!

Press Release: New York – Awe-inspiring talents, unusual objects, strange phenomena and mind-boggling feats are explored in Travel Channel’s reboot of the iconic series, “Ripley’s Believe It or Not!” premiering on Sunday, June 9 at 9 p.m. Et/Pt. Hosted and executive produced by actor Bruce Campbell, the 10-episode, hour-long series is inspired by Robert Ripley’s obsession with the awesome and his keen eye for what keeps viewers mesmerized. Seventy years after Ripley hosted the first eponymous series, we still can’t resist his challenge to, “Believe it, or not!”

One hundred years ago, Ripley went on a quest to the farthest...

For National Geographic’s 10-part “One Strange Rock” series, executive producer Darren Aronofsky sought to convey the interconnected story of life and survival on Mother Earth, told from the unique, long distance perspectives of eight astronauts. A mash-up, if you will, of astronomy, anthropology, biology, physics, chemistry, and sociology that travels from the macro to the micro — as well as Aronofsky’s eclectic interests.

But for Simon de Glanville, the Emmy-nominated British natural history and documentary cinematographer (“Forces of Nature with Brian Cox”), it was a varied journey of beauty and wonder as visual metaphors for larger, cosmic statements. “Above and beyond the smaller details, there was a desire to shoot actuality stories about real people having real conversations in real places,” he said.

I met Bronwen Hughes (director of “Forces of Nature,” “Harriet the Spy” and “Stander,” as well as episodes of “The L Word” and “Breaking Bad”) on a video call, while she was in Atlanta shooting a TV series. The focus of our conversation was her latest movie, “The Journey Is the Destination,” now streaming on Netflix. The film recounts the true story of Dan Eldon (Ben Schnetzer), who was an incredible artist and a brave, socially active photographer who traveled the world. He died at only 22, in Somalia. However, it feels like he lived more than many other people. Also Read:.

The 1990s: a time when Sleepwalkers, Burt Reynolds, No Escape, Chevy Chase and F/X/2 could top the Us box office...

By the 1990s, studios were waking up to movie marketing, and the era of the blockbuster. Tim Burton's Batman, released in summer 1989, had introduced the idea of a big opening weekend, and modern movies now target their promotional work to get just that. As such, it's harder and harder for smaller films to snare the top slot at the Us box office, even for one weekend.

In the 1990s, particularly the first half of the 1990s, that wasn't so much the case though. In fact, many films that have long since fallen from the public conscious topped the chart. And in this piece, I've tried to capture some of them.

Inevitably, you're going to have heard of some of them, and what a UK dweller sees as a...

One thing is for sure: I can’t wait for Geoff and Scott to review The Rewrite on the Broken Projector podcast. This upcoming rom-com is about an Oscar-winning screenwriter who is no longer a hotshot and so desperately has to take a job teaching the craft jadedly to college students. The irony is that the screenplay for The Rewrite itself seems awfully bland. The movie comes from Marc Lawrence, who previously wrote such generic non-classics as Miss Congeniality and Forces of Nature and wrote and directed Two Weeks Notice, Music and Lyrics and Did You Hear About the Morgans? The Rewrite is his fourth movie to star Hugh Grant, who plays another unlikable guy who is presumably changed by the love of a woman, a role this time filled by Oscar winner Marisa Tomei. At the start of the new trailer for the movie, we see a YouTube clip of Grant in his floppy-haired days winning...
