Days of Our Lives spoilers reveal that Xander Cook (Paul Telfer) recently had a bad dream that he couldn’t find Sarah Horton (Linsey Godfrey) and Victoria Cook.

It’s a fairly big month on Prime Video in March, at least compared to the other streaming service offerings! There are are two major films arriving on Amazon’s streamer. The first is a remake of the Patrick Swayze action classic Road House. Stepping into the late Swayze’s shoes? A crazy-jacked Jake Gyllenhaal, who really seemed to want to go the extra mile for this project.
The other big film coming to Prime Video is Ricky Stanicky, and the plot sounds really fun! It follows three friends who have always blamed their mistakes on an imaginary guy called Ricky Stanicky. When they have to finally introduce people to Stanicky, they decide to hire a washed-up actor (John Cena) to impersonate him. Hilarity ensues, maybe? But if neither of those make your watchlist, there’s also the return of the animated hit series Invincible.

Breaking through at 50 miles per hour, Sandra Bullock hasn’t slowed down since “Speed.” Although the veteran performer’s first acting credit belongs to a minor part in the 1987 thriller “Hangmen” (which she’d follow up with a handful of straight-to-video releases and TV projects), Bullock didn’t become a household name among movie lovers until the mid ’90s.
After dazzling audiences and the box office as bus-jumping hero Annie Porter in the 1994 smash hit “Speed” opposite Keanu Reeves, Bullock was regularly cast in action-packed suspense flicks and lighter rom-com fare. She’d lead in both Jon Turteltaub’s charming romance “While You Were Sleeping” and Irwin Winkler’s cybercrime thriller “The Net” in 1995. The following year, she’d star in rom-com “Two If By Sea,” legal drama “A Time to Kill,” and historical novel adaption “In Love and War.” Of course, the future two-time Academy Award nominee (one time winner) was just getting started.

The Paris Theater, an NYC cinematic landmark rescued by Netflix in 2019, will officially reopen August 6 with the streamer’s The Forty-Year-Old Version by Radha Blank and a week of repertory films programmed by the director.
The only single-screen movie theater in Manhattan and the borough’s largest, with 545 seats, has hosted limited theatrical engagements since March that included Netflix’ 17 Oscar-nominated films, retrospectives of Charlie Kaufman and Orson Wells, zombie movie classics and a Bob Dylan film series.
The Paris closed in August of 2019 after its lease with City Cinemas expired. That November, Netflix entered an extended lease agreement, said to be for ten years with owner the Solow Family, to keep the theater open and use it for events, screenings and theatrical releases of its films. The first was Noah Baumbach’s Marriage Story. The theater was shuttered by Covid-19 last spring.

It’s blockbuster season and Amazon Prime is celebrating by bringing a major action film to its stream.
That’s right, Amazon Prime’s list of new releases for July 2021 is highlighted by none other than The Tomorrow War on July 2. The year is 2051 and mankind is locked in a vicious war against an alien species. Our only hope is to go back in time and find…Chris Pratt. Ok, perhaps that’s a little reductive of the film’s plot. Future humanity also comes back to bring Sam Richardson to the future.
In terms of originals, there isn’t much else to speak of on Amazon Prime this month. The only other major release is The Pursuit of Love on July 30. This BBC series is directed by Emily Mortimer and takes place during the WWII era and follows two cousins as they navigate their lives. Lily James and Andrew Scott star.

Decades before Jordan Peele’s “Get Out” squashed box-office expectations en route to a Best Original Screenplay Oscar, Robert Townsend and Keenan Ivory Wayans struck a similar chord in 1987 with “Hollywood Shuffle,” a biting satire about the dearth of roles for black actors in Hollywood. Unlike “Get Out,” the approach to racial comedy in “Shuffle” is much more flagrant. However, it remains an essential piece of black Hollywood history that still has something to say about the industry today.

On his eleventh album, all the old enemies are present: the women who do him wrong, the family members who messed him up, the rappers you may or may not remember he has beefs with, the annoying fans, the haters, and, most importantly,...

Above: Us one sheet for Trouble in Mind (1985). Art direction by Mike Kaplan, illustration by Ignacio Gomez.Alan Rudolph may not be one of the best known names in American independent film and that is a shame because his 22-feature filmography comprises a unique body of work of literate, off-kilter, romantic, humanistic cinema. New Yorkers have a chance to devour that work over the next few weeks at the Quad Cinema in their essential retrospective, "Alan Rudolph’s Everyday Lovers."Rudolph’s poster-ography is as erratic and full of gems as his filmic career. It starts out with a couple of genre horror films—with gaudy posters to match—before launching into the early masterpieces Welcome to L.A. and Remember My Name, both film which were released by Mike Kaplan’s Lagoon. Kaplan, who had previously worked with Stanley Kubrick, is a keen connoisseur and collector of posters himself,...

What would you do if you could see the moment of your own death? Would you try to change it? Come to terms with your own mortality? Party as if tomorrow might never come? Well, if your immediate answer was “Die anyway, but with my body in a weirdly artistic position,” you might already be a cast member of Tell Me How I Die, a new horror movie that smooshes together Final Destination, Flatliners, and a little bit of Sandra Bullock’s weepy Premonition. (Our condolences, by the way.)

I’ve been gaming for years, for longer than I have been a horror fan in fact. From the ZX81 through the Acorn Electron, Commodore 64, Nes, Snes, Megadrive and beyond, and even back in the early days there were attempts to meld video games and movies. Be it cinematic style games like It Came From the Desert to the huge push into full motion video games like Mad Dog McCree. There have even been horror video games based on the likes of A Nightmare on Elm Street and Friday the 13th, though both of those games never made it to UK shores because, back then, games were for “kids” only.
Of course we’ve had games like the Trilobyte-produced PC games The 7th Guest and 11th Hour, which captured the scares perfectly and then there’s the controversial Night Trap on the Mega CD – a game which was one of...

Sandra Bullock has had a varied and extended career filled with several highs. Most recently, she took 2013 by storm with her powerful, Oscar-nominated performance in Gravity. However, her career has also been litered with several lows, including her Razzie-winning role in All About Steve and those needless sequels to Miss Congeniality and Speed. Here at VH1, we took it upon ourselves to go back and re-watch, review and rank her 30+ films. That’s right everything from Forces of Nature to Two Weeks Notice finds its place among Bullock’s best films listed from worst to best.

Jetting off for a week overseas, Sandra Bullock arrived at the Narita International Airport in Tokyo, Japan on Tuesday (December 3).
The "Premonition" star kept a low profile in a black peacoat and jeans as she made her way through the busy terminal.
Miss Bullock recently spoke to Entertainment Weekly about her "Gravity" co-star George Clooney's comments about her drunk dialing habit.
"I'm so embarrassed for him. It's a booty call," Sandra jokingly explained. "But he wants the commitment and then marriage and I'm like, 'Dude, I don't have the time.'"
"He's all, 'But I'm not a one-night stand kind of guy. Well, then, I can't. Drunk dialing is what it is, George. I just need an hour of your time," she added.

The Warner Bros. production is set to crash land into Us theatres in 3D, 2D and IMAX 3D on 4 October and will be landing here in UK theatres on 18 October....

Director Alfonso Cuaron's new sci-fi space project 'Gravity' has quite literally been floating around for years now. And now just a few months following the announcement that the project will finally enter theatres this coming October we get to peek at a brand new teaser trailer. The trailer featuring its two leads Sandra Bullock ('Premonition') and George Clooney ('Solaris') being flung around in the Earth's orbit certainly looks to have the visual appeal but just exactly what the rest of the movie will be padded out with is anybody's guess. Now whilst it's been 7 years since Cuaron's last directorial feature we can still be assured of an expert hand at the helm. His previous project 'Children of Men' was visually considerate and included extremely well executed sequences along the way. And with the longevity of the project we're hoping for a well polished final product.

After being pulled left, right and center for months on end now will Alfonso Cuaron's ('Childen of Men') latest effort 'Gravity' finally land firmly in its new planned release date? Warner Brothers are once again shifting, but thankfully in a forward direction, Cuaron's intriguing sci-fi project from its original November release to a 4th October 2013 opening. Sandra Bullock ('Premonition') and George Clooney ('Solaris') both star in the movie which even legendary director Guillermo del Toro ('Hellboy') himself was said to have been 'blown away' by an early cut he was lucky enough to view. Now with kudos like that we should be in one heck of a treat this coming October....

Age seems to suit Sandra Bullock quit well. As she celebrates her 48th birthday today, her life appears as exciting and happy as ever. Not only does she have an impressive acting career, but her body is hotter than most 20-year-old’s. (Seriously, check out her flat tummy and sculpted arms). Most important, she rings in her 48th b-day in the good company of her adorable son, Louis, whom she adopted in January 2010. We gotta say, things have been really shaping up for Sandra Bullock.
As one of the richest female celebrities in the world, Sandra has left quite a mark. She first grabbed our attention with notable roles in Speed and While You Were Sleeping. Taking home the 2010 Academy Award for Best Actress, for her entertaining and poignant acting job playing Leigh Anne Tuohy in The Blind Side, Bullock continually proves that she is here to stay. While her...

When the marketing executives at Warner Brothers Pictures asked Ignition Print to pitch ideas for movie posters to promote Tim Burton's remake of "Dark Shadows," the only mandate was that posters feature the face of the movie's star, Johnny Depp.
But other than that, Ignition was allowed to "go crazy," said Jacky Shu, the Ignition account executive assigned to "Dark Shadows."
Competition for such projects is usually fierce. Even small, independent movie outfits usually ask at least two graphic design firms to mock up designs. For a major tent-pole like "Dark Shadows,” it’s not unusual for a studio to solicit ideas from 10 firms in the first round.
"It's like 'The Hunger Games.' You're up against other companies literally fighting to stay alive. You're never on something by yourself. There's always another vendor willing to cut you for the finish," Ignition's creative director, Jason Lindeman, told The Huffington Post.

It's tough to narrow down the very top producers in Hollywood. Here's a few of those we think are doing interesting work, and are worth watching: Sunil Perkash (left) is a prime example of a guy who finds good material, stays with it for years and ends up partnering with bigger producing names like Lorenzo di Bonaventura to get movies made. He produced “Salt,” “Enchanted” and “Premonition” and has teamed with Relativity Media to set up the Liam Hemsworth vehicle “Timeless.” Also read: 10 Producers Who Will Change Hollywood 2012 Court 13 Pictures is...

At the start of the week, we examined the state of the A-list leading man, and why, outside of those who've been big draws for years -- Tom Cruise, Will Smith, Johnny Depp et al. -- so few stars seemed to be reliable at bringing audiences to their pictures. But when you look at the leading ladies, things are even more puzzling.
Put simply, the number of actreses who can be deemed consistent box office draws seems to diminish, rather than grow, as each year goes on. In part, it's because it's so rare for the major blockbusters to be lead by a woman: of the top 20 worldwide grossers last year, only "Twilight" could arguably be said to be led by a woman, and holding up those films as a victory for womankind would be an error, given their prehistoric sexual politics. 2010 was a little better, thanks to "Black Swan" and "Alice in Wonderland,...
