Shepka Productions has announced the digital release of their new revenge thriller, Dead Before They Wake. Perhaps the most interesting cast member in this one is Sylvester McCoy — yes, the Seventh Doctor — but it sounds like his role is a minor one. Alex is a nightclub bouncer who’s about to encounter a more grisly side of night life. He’s been hired by a retired lawyer to track down a missing teenage girl. It’s as bad as they think — she’s been abducted by a trafficking ring, and they’ve got a limited amount of time to find the bad guys, take them down and bring her home. Dead Before They Wake stars Nathan Shepka, Grace Cordell (Cara), Manjot Sumal, Kareem Nasif (The Job). Also starring Doctor Who legend Sylvester McCoy and Patrick Bergin. The film was directed by Andy Crane and Nathan Shepka, and features an original...

As January wraps up, Hulu is keeping the momentum going with an impressive lineup of new titles next month. Whether you’re into movies, TV shows, or both, there’s plenty to keep you entertained throughout February.

Hulu is starting strong with over 60 new titles arriving on February 1 alone. Some standout additions include Kill Bill Vol. 1 and Kill Bill Vol. 2, as well as all four seasons of the classic ’90s drama New York Undercover.

Reality TV fans will also have something to look forward to with the season six premiere of The Kardashians.

But as exciting as the new arrivals are, there’s always the bittersweet reality that some beloved titles are leaving. In February, Hulu will only be removing movies, so TV lovers can breathe easy. However, the list of departing films includes some good titles, like Titane (2021) and Spencer (2021), which earned Kristen Stewart an Oscar nomination.

Say goodbye to those New Year greetings and memes, because February is almost here. Time to really sink our teeth into 2025 and how it’ll look, and of course that means beefing up your watchlist. As always the libraries of Hulu and Disney+ (and multiple available bundles) are here to help, with new shows and movies (both family friendly and… a little unfriendly) available to stream.

Along with ongoing episodes of “Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man,” Disney+ will debut all of “Marvel’s Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur” Season 2 and plenty of other great titles for young viewers. “The Lion King at the Hollywood Bowl” special will recapture the magic of a live performance, and “Harlem Ice” follows a girls’ figure skating team through their competitive season.

Hulu will feature ongoing episodes of the new drama “Paradise,” and if you want more White House action there’s Viacom’s “The Oval,...

Julia Roberts is one of the most influential and iconic actresses to have ever gotten success in Hollywood. An Oscar-winner for Erin Brockovich, Roberts is also seen as the one actress who single-handedly bridged the gap between the salaries of male and female actors.

This journey, began with 1990’s Pretty Woman, which paid her just $300k for a role she eventually became iconic for. However, while she would go on to become the most well-paid female actor in the industry, her work on Pretty Woman also brought her backlash from feminists.

Despite her success, Pretty Woman remains a defining yet divisive part of Julia Roberts’ legacy. Released in 1990, the film grossed over $400 million worldwide and earned Roberts her second Oscar nomination. However, the fairytale romance about a Hollywood s*x worker...

Julia Roberts became rom-com royalty in the 1990s after starring in some of the best movies of the decade, and she saved her reputation by turning down a sequel to one of her most popular rom-coms. Julia Roberts’ career began in 1987 with an uncredited role in the direct-to-video movie Firehouse. Roberts’ big break arrived the following year when she played Daisy in the rom-com drama Mystic Pizza, and the following year she played Shelby in the drama Steel Magnolias, for which she got her first Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actress.

In the 1990s, Roberts explored different genres, such as sci-fi with Flatliners, thriller with Sleeping with the Enemy, and fantasy with Hook. However, Roberts’ strength in the 1990s was rom-coms, starring in Pretty Woman, My Best Friend’s Wedding, Notting Hill, and Runaway Bride. All of these earned a spot in pop culture and rom-com history and none of them got a sequel,...

Shifting from her usual pairing with Richard Gere and George Clooney, in 1991, Julia Roberts shared the screen with Patrick Bergin in the psychological thriller Sleeping With the Enemy. Well, the film wasn’t just a shift from her popular co-stars, but also from the rom-com genre that Roberts is often known for.

Playing the role of Laura, a woman fleeing an abusive relationship, Sleeping With the Enemy narrated the tale of a marriage from hell, where Patrick Bergin appeared as Roberts’ possessive and violent husband, Martin. But while the 1991 movie could have been just another film about Dv, what drove it to brilliance was Bergin’s bold choice regarding his character depiction.

Unlike the villains from 90s cinema, Bergin’s choice to keep Martin an unforgivable monster helped shift the cultural narrative surrounding domestic violence in...

In the nearly four decades since Kylie Minogue’s debut, the Australian soap actress turned international pop star has released 16 studio albums and, thanks to the recent success of “Padam Padam,” racked up an impressive 35 Top 10 hits in the U.K. Her career trajectory, however, wasn’t always assured.

After her initial breakout success on both sides of the Atlantic, with a cover of Little Eva’s “The Loco-Motion,” Minogue struggled to maintain interest among U.S. audiences. By the mid-1990s, she was eager to shake off her bubblegum-pop image, collaborating with the likes of Nick Cave and Towa Tei, and taking more creative control with the experimental Impossible Princess. The album flopped, but a turn-of-the-century renaissance found the singer embracing her dance-pop roots and cementing her status as a gay icon.

After a brief foray into country-pop with 2018’s Golden and classic disco on 2020’s Disco, Minogue made...

Following the release of It Ends with Us, domestic violence has been one of the hottest topics raging in the industry as of late. What further served as fuel for this fire was Blake Lively, whose way of promoting the movie and addressing the serious issues raised in it has made her the epitome of some real controversy and backlash, especially for her alleged “toxic behavior.”

Julia Roberts, on the other hand, further seems to be making matters look worse for Ryan Reynolds’ wife. This comes after an old interview of Roberts for her 1991 movie Sleeping with the Enemy was recently brought back to light. In this, she was seen having the most empathetic response to a question on domestic violence—something that is landing Lively further in trouble.

After Blumhouse and Atomic Monster’s M3GAN took audiences (and TikTok) by storm, plans to expand the artificial intelligence-centric horror property are in full swing with the M3GAN spin-off, SOULM8TE, on the way. According to Deadline, Evil Dead Rise actress Lily Sullivan will play the lead in SOULM8TE, a beautiful companion bot trying to help a grieving man cope with the loss of his wife.

In SOULM8TE, Sullivan’s artificial intelligence love bot becomes more when a man inadvertently turns the harmless droid into a deadly soulmate. While SOULM8TE is considered a part of the M3GAN universe, sources close to the project clarify that SOULM8TE is a more mature and risqué horror thriller. The project resembles ’90s domestic thrillers, such as Sleeping with the Enemy, The Hand That Rocks the Cradle, and Dangerous Intentions. SOULM8TE revolves around characters different from those in M3GAN, so don’t expect to see the...

The Prime Video film follows the story of Ava, a young woman as he leaves her abusive husband and goes back to her parents. When she meets the one true love of her life again, her ex-husband begins stalking her and now she has to do everything legal and illegal to get away from him. Divorce in the Black stars Meagan Good in the lead role with Cory Hardrict, Richard Lawson, Debbi Morgan, Shannon Wallace, Taylor Polidore, and Rakeem Laws starring in supporting roles. So, if you loved the thrilling story and intense characters in Divorce in the Black, here are some similar movies you could watch next.

Sometimes, when watching a movie like Tyler Perry’s Divorce in the Black, you grade them on a curve. This depends on the aspirations of the filmmaker(s) and the intended audience. After all, can you grade pornography in the same way you would evaluate Citizen Kane? Before you mock my point, remember that Roger Ebert used to review them, ensuring Russ Meyer received his due.

This brings us to another entry from the uber-successful filmmaker Tyler Perry. To put it politely, his latest film, Tyler Perry’s Divorce in the Black, has something for everyone. The truth, however, is that the movie is wildly uneven. Perry’s script morphs from a thoughtful story about a woman dealing with divorce into Sleeping with the Enemy territory.

Lee Sun-kyun appears posthumously in one of his best performances as an actor struggling to control his night-time excursions in this elegant and intimate horror

The sleep of reason is what’s supposed to produce monsters … but not as many as sleep deprivation. That is the awful paradox driving this elegant, intimate, gleefully brash Korean chiller from feature first-timer Jason Yu, a former assistant to the Oscar-winning director Bong Joon-ho. It’s a horror movie about sleepwalking and the unquiet sleep of a fraught marriage, with hints of The Exorcist, Sleeping With the Enemy and Steven Soderbergh’s neglected Hitchcockian thriller Side Effects.

Korean leading man Lee Sun-kyun appears posthumously in this movie – having heartbreakingly taken his own life last December following a tabloid media scandal. Poignantly, he gives one of his best performances as Hyun-su, an up-and-coming actor who has already won some kind of indie award and landed...

Thelma & Louise, a landmark feminist film, balances progressive elements with lively adventure. Geena Davis believes the movie should never be remade due to its cultural impact and unique place in cinematic history. The film's portrayal of female empowerment and defiance of traditional gender roles inspired cinema as a whole.

Geena Davis explains why Thelma & Louise should not ever get a remake. Directed by Ridley Scott with a script written by Callie Khouri, the 1991 crime drama follows the two titular friends, a homemaker and a waitress, who embark on a road trip that takes an unexpected turn when they commit a crime and are pursued by police. Besides Davis, the cast includes Oscar winner Susan Sarandon, Oscar nominee Harvey Keitel, Kill Bill: Volume 2's Michael Madsen, Happy Gilmore's Christopher McDonald, Groundhog Day's Stephen Tobolowsky, and two-time Oscar winner Brad Pitt in one of his first major roles.

Julia Roberts shines in a variety of film genres, demonstrating strong comedic chops and emotional depth in her performances. Roberts has maintained her star power and continues to play well-written, fully developed characters. From psychological thrillers to romantic comedies, Roberts delivers standout performances that make her films memorable.

Though Julia Roberts might be best known for her work in the romantic comedy genre, she has been a part of many other amazing films throughout her career. She shines as the romantic lead in many of these movies, but this is not only because of her charm and intrigue. Roberts has proved time and again that she has strong comedic chops as well as the ability to handle weighty emotional subjects with characters that have undergone intense trauma.

Making the transition from ingénue to adult woman working in the film industry is no easy task considering the discrimination that women face in Hollywood as they age.

For all its many, many faults, 2023 was a banner year for international films. The awards season buzz for global gems like Justine Triet’s French courtroom thriller Anatomy of a Fall (released by Neon stateside), Jonathan Glazer’s German-language Holocaust drama Zone of Interest (A24), Hayao Miyazaki’s Japanese anime The Boy and the Heron (GKids), and J.A. Bayona’s Spanish-language real-life survival tale Society of the Snow (Netflix) only scratches the surface.

Among the many many other foreign highlights from last year are Mubi’s Fallen Leaves and How to Have Sex — the first a laconic triumph by Finnish film master Aki Kaurismäki, the latter a stunning debut by Brit first-timer Molly Manning Walker — Sony Pictures Classics’ The Teachers’ Lounge, a German school drama from director Ilker Çatak and Iranian drama Shayda from director Noora Niasari; Agnieszka Holland’s harrowing The Green Border, about Poland’s treatment of would-be...

The movie Totally Killer is at the center of controversy due to its inaccurate recommendation by the AI bot Pix for users seeking non-slasher movies. The efficacy of the AI bot is being questioned as it fails to accurately recommend movies based on user requests, as evidenced by its recommendation of gory films when the prompt specifically asked for none. Users are criticizing both the marketing and the functionality of the Pix app.

Totally Killer has found itself at the center of an unusual controversy. The movie is a slasher throwback starring Kiernan Shipka as a modern-day teenager who is accidentally sent back in time and must save her teenage mother and her friends from a rampaging masked serial killer. The movie has also been featured prominently - and incorrectly - in material used to promote a new AI bot called Pix designed to recommend movie and television titles to users.

The episode of Best Horror Movie You Never Saw covering The Good Son was Written and Narrated by Kier Gomes, Edited by Paul Bookstaber, Produced by John Fallon and Tyler Nichols, and Executive Produced by Berge Garabedian.

There is nothing like a proverbial bond between one’s own offspring. The joys are finding your inner self within them. The feeling of self-fulfillment, reproducing your very own mini-me. The realization that you have much more purpose in this world than just being a cog in corporate America riding that 9-5 grind. Ah yes, the moments you share with your own child far outweigh the trials and tribulations of dealing with the everyday stress of adulthood. But what if that child has an embedded evil inside of them? What if their own volition comes with malice and harm? Would you cope with still accepting them as they were? Would you sleep with one eye open,...

Warning: Major spoilers for The Continental episode 1 "Brothers In Arms - Night 1" below!

The first episode of the John Wick prequel series, The Continental, is filled with easter eggs and references for fans of the movies. The episode introduces new characters and explores the use of the gold coin currency within the assassin world. The action-packed episode features intense fight scenes, guns, and martial arts, staying true to the signature John Wick style.

John Wick prequel The Continental has plenty of easter eggs and nods to the movies for viewers to spot during episode 1. The supposed death of John Wick in the finale of Chapter 4 has ended - for now, at least - the main series, so it's a good time to see if the franchise has legs beyond Keanu Reeves' titular assassin. In addition to the upcoming movie spinoff Ballerina starring Ana de Armas, the first real test of...

The cast of Patriot Games features a mix of massive stars, understated performers, and up-and-coming talents, delivering an action-packed platform for its ensemble. Harrison Ford's performance as Jack Ryan in Patriot Games was well-received and helped anchor the exhilarating story, despite skepticism about his age. The cast also includes notable actors such as Anne Archer, Patrick Bergin, Sean Bean, Thora Birch, and James Earl Jones, who all contribute to the film's success.

The cast of Patriot Games is an impressive roster of massive stars, as well as a fair mix of understated performers and up-and-coming talents. Premiering in 1992, the film is the second in the Jack Ryan series based on the novels by bestselling author Tom Clancy. In the film, Harrison Ford plays former CIA Agent Jack Ryan as he is targeted by a rogue faction of Ira terrorists after he previously foiled one of their plots. Like its predecessor,...

Psychological thrillers of the 1990s delve into the darkest aspects of human psychology, tackling topics that may be offensive to some viewers. These films aim to create a lingering sense of horror by exploring real-world themes and relatable relationships, rather than relying on supernatural elements. The best psychological thrillers of the 1990s deliver deeply disturbing surprises, with movies like "Hideaway," "The Bone Collector," and "Sleeping With The Enemy" standing out as some of the most interesting and disturbing examples.

Many of the best psychological thriller movies of the 1990s examine the darkest inner thoughts and impulses of humanity. Not for the faint of heart, this genre and era are known for tackling topics and investigating cases that could be highly offensive to contemporary viewers. While many 1990s thrillers should definitely come with a trigger warning, this is also precisely why certain audiences are drawn to these disturbing films.

On the face of it, Grégoire is the kind of husband that makes many a woman wish hers would shape up a bit. He’s tall, strong and stylish, with a job in banking that comfortably pays the bills, and the sculpted good looks of, well, the actor Melvil Poupaud — who plays him with enough upfront charm to cover a slight chill at the edges. All that, and he dotes on his wife Blanche (Virginie Efira), insisting on a degree of togetherness that makes clear his fidelity. Those observing more closely, however, may have other concerns: Why is he constantly calling her at work? Why does she never go out with friends? That he’s a psychotic abuser isn’t played as a surprise twist in Valérie Donzelli’s nervy, finely acted domestic thriller “Just the Two of Us” — even as it dabbles in genre tropes, the film presents an all-too-unremarkable reality for many women.

Los Angeles native Karina Longworth has long ridden the swells of writing about Hollywood, whether as a cofounder of film blog Cinematical and contributor to Spout, critic and film editor at LA Weekly, author, or creator of the popular nine-year-old “You Must Remember This” podcast. Over the years, Longworth’s memorable series include in-depth explorations of Charles Manson; Joan Crawford; Jane Fonda and Jean Seberg; Dean Martin and Sammy Davis, Jr.; gossip columnists Hedda Hopper and Louella Parsons; and Polly Platt and Peter Bogdanovich (which is being developed as a TV series).

It may seem like fans of the Patreon podcast have to wait long stretches between seasons. But Longworth and an assistant invest months of research and writing into podcast series such as the “Erotic 80s” (ten episodes) and the just-released “Erotic 90s” (Part One is 14 episodes; Part Two debuts in the fall), which indulge in a depth no...

Last year, Karina Longworth’s hit Hollywood podcast You Must Remember This looked at the Erotic ‘80s. Longworth is now delving into the same topic of sex in film and TV across the 1990s for the next season.

The show, which is presented in partnership with Audacy’s Cadence13, returns on March 28 with its 21-episode season.

In the 1980s and 1990s, Hollywood movies explored the sexual lives, mores and fantasies of adults with degrees of candor, realism and imagination not seen before or since. While Erotic 80s episodes covered the theme one year at a time, the super-sized Erotic 90s breaks down themes from Lolitas and sex symbols to gender politics and more.

The first episode covers the disastrous rollout of Nc-17 and the evolving state of both porn and feminism at the dawn of the ’90s, with topics including David Lynch, Harvey Weinstein, “pro-porn” feminism, “the new morality,” video stores,...

The location to the 1989 tearjerker Steel Magnolias helps create a sense of community and family as the movie shows the effect Shelby Eatenton-Latcherie (Julia Roberts)'s death had on the small town. Steel Magnolias is adapted from the 1987 play by Robert Harling about his sister, who passed away from diabetes (via The Atlantic). Set in Chinquapin Parish, Louisiana, the film features a beauty salon, a large house, and church where Shelby marries Jackson Latcherie (Dylan McDermott). The film starred Sally Field as Shelby's mother, M'Lynn, and Olympia Dukakis, Daryl Hannah, and Dolly Parton as her friends, Clairee Belcher, Annelle Dupuy Desoto, and Truvy Jones.

Before Julia Roberts guest-starred on Friends, she appeared in several notable '80s and '90s movies, including Mystic Pizza, Sleeping With The Enemy, and Pretty Women. Steel Magnolias was one of her more serious roles and showed her acting talent. The characters cherish the fact...

Ammu(Telugu, Amazon Prime)

Written and Directed by Charukesh Sekar

Debutant director Charukesh Sekar’s film is not to be taken lightly. It deep-dives into the disease of domestic violence, and comes up with disturbing images of a dark unspoken tragedy which is sadly the truth behind many seemingly peaceful marriages.

Ammu rips open the happy-home façade, to expose the ugly truth within. A reviewer writing on the film grumbles about the husband Ravi(brilliantly played by Naveen Chandra) taking too long to expose his true colours. Let us disabuse the misconceptions on abuse. Domestic violence emerges with time only. The film with cohesive acumen, lays bare Ravi’s fangs as Ammu settles into domesticity.

Amazon Prime Video’s epic The Lord of the Rings series won’t arrive until 2022. Thankfully, with its list of new releases for November 2021, Amazon has a pretty major fantasy adaptation to hold us over.

The Wheel of Time is set to premiere on Nov. 19 and will bring Robert Jordan’s massive fantasy universe to life. Rosamund Pike stars as Moiraine, a powerful magic-user who guides five young people on a perilous journey around the world. One of them just might be the reincarnation of the Dragon, a powerful entity who could save the world…or destroy it.

Sleeping with the Enemy was released in 1991 to poor reviews but an enthusiastic audience response. That positive reaction from the audience stayed in place, as the television could not be turned on throughout the '90s without a cable screening of the film. It was a major star vehicle for Julia Roberts, who was fresh off the smash hit, Pretty Woman.

Her performance as Laura Burney/"Sara Waters" isn't quite iconic as her Vivian Ward role, but it's certainly up there. With that taken into consideration, it's not hard to imagine the film being remade today to capitalize on this popularity. Furthermore, the 1991 movie has a feminist slant, and this is something that could be expanded on and reworked, perhaps by further fleshing out the Burneys as a couple and as individuals.

Michael Flatley, the Irish dance phenomenon best known for “Lord of the Dance,” will open the Monaco Streaming Film Festival with his directorial debut, “Blackbird.”

Flatley, who wrote and financed the project, also stars in it as retired MI6 operative-turned-Barbados hotelier Victor Blackley. After a familiar agent — and romantic interest — turns up at his establishment, Blackley finds himself subsumed back into his old life, with potentially devastating consequences for millions of people if his mission fails.

It’s summer, everyone! And with its relatively sparse list of new releases for July 2021, Hulu seems to be subtlety imploring its subscribers to go outside.

Don’t get us wrong: Hulu’s library offerings get a big upgrade this month. July 1 sees the arrival of great films like Galaxy Quest, Fargo, and Caddyshack. Bill and Ted Face the Music premieres on July 2 and its followed by Barb and Star Go to Vista Del Mar on July 9. Not bad stuff! It’s just that, outside of the library titles, there isn’t much to go off of.

Hulu’s only major original release this month is the FX on Hulu production American Horror Stories on July 15. As its name implies, the show is a spinoff of American Horror Story and will feature self-contained horror episodes rather than a season-long arc. If you’ll allow this geriatric millennial to deploy one truly ancient meme: “Yo dawg,...

What do Greek mythology, a secret society, and two brutal murders all have in common? They set the scene of The Silent Patient author Alex Michaelides's brand-new thriller (out today!), The Maidens ($17). Enticingly dark and compulsively pageturning, this chilling novel takes readers on a suspenseful journey that's both terrifying and twisted.

The Maidens revolves around a group therapist named Mariana whose past has consisted of more death than life. After reeling from a rough childhood in Greece, Mariana goes to Cambridge University to complete her education as well as leave her past behind. Despite being lonely, quiet, and always on the outskirts, Mariana meets and falls in love with her future husband, Sebastian. Their happiness is unparalleled, until one day, during a trip Mariana suggested on the island of Naxos, Sebastian winds up dead. After months of suffering this heartbreak, things only get worse when Mariana's only lasting family member,...

And just like that – here comes spring. Amazon Prime‘s list of new releases for April 2021 isn’t as cheery as one would expect from the sunny season. But perhaps that’s by design – you should be outside anyway!

Amazon’s most prominent original series for April 2021 is undoubtedly Them from multi-hyphenate Lena Waithe. This horror anthology’s first season, subtitled “Covenant”, will center on a Black family in the 1950s who move from North Carolina to a white neighborhood in Los Angeles. It premieres on April 9. Given its name and premise, Them is drawing some (largely joke-y) comparisons to Jordan Peele’s Us on social media. But hey, the world could always use some more Us.

While the first day of spring technically belongs to March, everyone knows that it kicks into high gear in April. To celebrate the changing of the seasons, Hulu is finally bringing back its signature original series for April 2021.

Season 4 of the multiple Emmy award-winning The Handmaid’s Tale premieres on April 28. It’s been awhile since we’ve seen June and her dystopian world. In fact, it’s been so long that our own world decided to endure its own dystopian pandemic in the meantime. Hopefully this series’ return will mean we can keep our political and social collapses on television where they belong.

Aside from The Handmaid’s Tale, Hulu isn’t brining much else to the table in terms of originals this month. Thankfully, the one other original that Hulu has in store for April sounds completely righteous. Sasquatch, the latest docuseries from the Duplass brothers producing team, will cover exactly what the title promises.

It was thirty years ago, on Valentine’s Day. A love affair with Oscar was about to begin. The psychological thriller “The Silence of the Lambs” opened in movie theaters to widespread critical acclaim. Based on the novel by Thomas Harris and starring 1988’s Best Actress Jodie Foster (“The Accused”) and Anthony Hopkins, the film knocked another spine-chiller (the Julia Roberts headlined “Sleeping with the Enemy”) off the top of the American box office chart. “Silence” would remain there for an impressive five weeks, grossing more than $130 million domestically and just over $270 million worldwide.

While the film pulled off the rare feat of pleasing both movie reviewers and regulars, it was initially seen as a wild card as an Oscar contender. After all, it was released before the 63rd Academy Awards (celebrating the best work of 1990) were even presented. Would “Silence” still resonate a year later? And then there was...

Obsession is the marrow of erotic thrillers, from the sublime (“Fatal Attraction”) to the ridiculous (“Obsessed”), the hey-not-so-bad (“Sleeping with the Enemy”) to the very-bad-indeed (“The Boy Next Door”), to the auteur-crafted (Tyler Perry’s “Temptation: Confessions of a Marriage Counselor”) to the Netflix-knockoff (“Fatal Affair”). This sub-genre is so abundant that in “Fatale,” its latest victim (an appropriately jittery Michael Ealy) once played the unhinged baddie in another film about physical intimacy gone very much awry (“The Perfect Guy”).

That said, despite the ample availability of films that are built on the concept of “guilty pleasures” and delight in unspooling wacky-crazy, sex-mad, unhinged freakfests, the telling of their stories can contain all the freshness of data entry. We have someone attractive who’s blessed with an equally attractive spouse, a good job, a lovely home, maybe some cute kids, and then they to decide to bone someone they...

As the year winds down, streaming services appear to be taking a step back, licking their wounds from this strange pandemic production season, and looking to a hopefully brighter future. This is all to say that Hulu‘s list of new releases for December 2020 isn’t quite its most inspiring batch yet…and that’s Ok.

Hulu’s biggest original title this month is undoubtedly The Hardy Boys. This adaptation of the classic boy detective novels is aimed at younger audiences and will premiere on Dec. 4. Then, near the end of the month, Hulu is bringing a new season of a show that is decidedly not for younger audiences. Season 9 of the very funny and very Canadian Letterkenny arrives on Dec. 26.

Hulu also has some recent movies of note coming in December including Amy Seimetz’s diabolical She Dies Tomorrow on Dec. 4 and children’s movie The Secret Garden on Dec.

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas, as the various streaming services are stocking their libraries with some great new titles this December to keep us going through the festive period. When it comes to Hulu, the Disney-owned platform is adding a few holiday-related movies and TV shows, but is mostly taking the track of stuffing itself full of classic films that the whole family can enjoy.

This includes a bunch of the best James Bond pics ever made, like GoldenEye, The Spy Who Loved Me, Goldfinger and, the one that kicked it all off, Dr. No. That would be a perfect watch to honor Sean Connery, who sadly passed away earlier this year.

Other action movies you might want to check out this December, meanwhile, include The Hurt Locker, The Fifth Element, 2003’s Hulk and the two “Tom Hanks as Robert Langdon” flicks, The Da Vinci Code and Angels & Demons.

Mumbai, Oct 21 (Ians) Actress Madhuri Dixit Nene on Wednesday walked down memory lane and recalled working with the late co-actor Rishi Kapoor and late choreographer Saroj Khan in the 1995 release, Yaarana.

The David Dhawan directorial was inspired by the Julia Roberts-starrer "Sleeping With The Enemy" and is still remembered for Madhuri's hit dance number, "Mera piya ghar aaya". The number was choreographed by Saroj Khan.

"Working alongside Rishi ji and learning the steps to #MeraPiyaGharAaaya from Saroj ji are some of my fondest memories... Today as we mark #25YearsOfYaraana, remembering both of them. This is dedicated to them and the whole team."

The film released on October 20 in 1995. Incidentally, "Yaarana" clashed at the box office with the Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol starrer "Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge", which also opened on the same day on the occasion of Diwali that year.

Madhuri shared her post along with a few throwback pictures,...

Following on from a July where they added a large number of horror titles to their catalogue, Hulu have now made available even more great outings from the genre. As with all the major streaming players, keeping subscribers happy with new content during this Covid-19 year has been crucial, especially given the new competitors that have sprung up in recent months, further splintering film rights. Hulu are usually pretty reliable in terms of diversity, though, and have added some particularly strong horror titles for August.

Among the highlights for new movies is the original 1988 Child’s Play, which introduced the murderous Chucky to the world in a film that arguably remains the high-point of the franchise. A reasonably realistic setting, a convincing child performance and some excellent effects work make Child’s Play a classic of the period and more than worth a rewatch. And with the Chucky series on the way,...

Hulu is out with its list of everything new arriving in August and everything leaving at the end of the month.

Highlights include “Ordinary Love,” a 2019 movie about how a couple endures a breast cancer diagnosis, and “Peanut Butter Falcon,” Shia Labeouf’s 2019 movie about a young man with Down syndrome who runs away from a nursing home to attend the wrestling school of his idol, the Salt Water Redneck.

Hulu Originals to look out for next month include Season 3 of “Find Me in Paris” and the Hulu Original premiere of “The Binge.”

Leaving at the end of the month are 2007’s “3:10 to Yuma,” 1973’s “Charlotte’s Web,” 1988’s “Rain Man,” and “The X-Files.”

The Supporting Actress Smackdown of 1991 is just a week away so get your votes in! Before we get there it's time for more context of that year in showbiz history. Ready? 

Great Big Box Office Hits:

The year's biggest hit by an enormous margin was James Cameron's Terminator 2 Judgment Day (which has aged spectacularly well). The other major blockbusters were Kevin Costner's hit Robin Hood Prince of Thieves, Disney's Beauty and the Beast, and Steven Spielberg's Hook. The big sleeper hit of the year was The Silence of the Lambs. Other hits that year included City Slickers, Backdraft, Sleeping With the Enemy, The Addams Family and the remakes of Father of the Bride and Cape Fear.

Oscar's Best Picture Nominees: 

Most people remember 1991 as the year of Silence of the Lambs (7 noms / 5 wins) but many Oscar fanatics remember it just as clearly for another milestone...

We’re only just over halfway through July, but let’s hop ahead a couple of weeks into the future and take a look at what’s coming to Hulu in August. Next month will see the streaming service add an enormous list of movies and TV shows, with numerous classics amongst them, and everyone from horror to action to romance fans and even family audiences should be pleased with what’s coming.

The first day of the month, for example, brings the opening installments in two major horror franchises that kicked off in the late 80s – 1987’s Hellraiser and 1988’s Child’s Play. Sticking with the 80s, August 1st likewise sees 1986’s Top Gun added to the library, too. Not to mention 1981’s My Bloody Valentine.

For you romance lovers out there, meanwhile, Australia and Four Weddings and A Funeral drop the same day, and family audiences can enjoy Cats & Dogs,...

If you were concerned about there being a content drought in August due to the coronavirus pandemic shutting down Hollywood, you were…absolutely right in those concerns.

For its new releases in August 2020, Hulu is following Apple, Disney, and even Peacock’s lead in taking things nice and slowly. The vast majority of the notable offerings here are of the library variety. Hulu adds classic movies like Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, Rain Man, and Top Gun on August 1. Those go along with the very much still-holds-up Casino Royale on August 31.

Hulu also has room for some interesting recent indie movies like Ordinary Love (Aug. 3) and Peanut Butter Falcon (Aug. 6). But when it comes to Hulu original content there’s not much going on. The unheralded Find Me in Paris debuts its third season on August 21. That is followed by original comedy The Binge on August 28. And that’s about it!

As we’re now at the halfway point of July, it’s time to begin looking ahead to what all the various streaming services will be bringing us in August. And while some of the big guns, like Netflix and Amazon Prime, have yet to announce their slate, Hulu has emerged first out of the gate today, dropping a massive line-up for next month.

Seen down below, there’s truly something for everyone here. As usual, the platform has every genre covered, pulling films and TV shows from all over to put together a meaty list of content for their subscribers to get stuck into next month. And you can see the entire line-up of what’s heading to Hulu down below.
