Last month’s Lifetime film, I am Your Biggest Fan, focused exclusively on an abduction. This month’s pick, The Boy Who Vanished, explores the same kind of crime, albeit with a focus on the aftermath.

Writer Ken Miyamoto tosses the audience in the deep end right from the start. The film opens at night as a teen boy walks up to a payphone and calls the police, identifying himself as kidnapping victim Jack Reese.

It’s not until we’ve gone through the morning routine of Haley (Tegan Moss) and Richard (Matthew Kevin Anderson) that the couple’s connection to Jack becomes evident. They seem mildly overprotective of their young, pre-teen son Tyler (Kingston Goodjohn) and for good reason: when Haley and Richard meet with Detective Doyle (Vincent Ross) at the police station, it is revealed that Jack is their son…and he’s been missing for twelve years.

Time is slipping away on the MGM+ series Nine Bodies in a Mexican Morgue. With just three episodes left to go, many viewers are likely rooting for Kevin Anderson to survive, since he's played by Eric McCormack. The actor is still beloved from his role on Will & Grace -- so did that help him perplex the audience when portraying a potential murder suspect?

Conversely, Lydia Wilson's character Sonja Blair was one of the first suspects, with her abrasive personality and guarded behavior. But what was that like for the actor to play? In an interview with Cbr, Blair and McCormack talked about working to keep the show's suspense going, and revealed the challenges they faced during filming.

MGM+’s Nine Bodies in A Mexican Morgue is a run-of-the-mill survival thriller centered around nine survivors who end up in the middle of nowhere. Eight passengers had boarded a flight at the Aurora International Airport in Guatemala headed to Houston, Texas, but before they could reach their destination, the pilot, Octavio Fuentes, lost his bearings due to a faulty Gps system. He tried to contact the authorities and sent numerous requests for immediate help, but no one responded. In the end, the plane ran out of fuel, and Octavio had to make an emergency landing in the Mexican tropical forest.

The Bodies Arrive At The Morgue

The first episode of Nine Bodies in a Mexican Morgue begins with nine bodies arriving at the Mexican military camp in Los Trios. Lopez, an officer, informed his senior, Captain Gabriel Vega, that they’d found these dead bodies in a pit all lined up together.

One of the hottest thrillers of the 1990s is about to make the move to a new streaming home.

Per Hulu, 1991's Sleeping with the Enemy will officially become a part of the streaming giant's catalog beginning on February 1. This will mark the third concurrent major streaming platform to make the film available to subscribers, which only speaks to its lasting popularity and its success as a tense psychological thriller.

With a world as expansive and richly layered as that of Frank Herbert's Dune, it's no wonder there are a multitude of major people, places, historical moments and overtures that could be committed to on-screen storytelling. One such major moment in time referenced but never seen in the Dune films is the war against thinking machines that nearly wiped out all of humanity. But thanks to the new prequel series, Dune: Prophecy, we'll finally get a glimpse into the war known as the Butlerian Jihad.

And Entertainment Weekly debuted new photos from the pivotal moment in their latest interview with series showrunner Alison Schapker, giving us keen insight into how humanity being subjugated nearly to extinction shaped the world we'll see in the new HBO series connected to the Denis Villeneuve films.

As Schapker put it simply: "There were casualties on planetary levels, and that does something to individual psyches.

Netflix's true crime genre attracts a hungry audience with stories like Matthew Hardy's cyberstalking spree. "Can I Tell You a Secret?" covers only a fraction of the cyberbullying issue, missing crucial details. Despite some flaws, the Netflix miniseries accurately depicts the events surrounding Hardy's arrest and conviction.

Netflix has certainly found a hungry audience in the true crime genre, with the platform releasing countless miniseries and documentaries touching on various aspects of cases from around the globe. The most recent one to break Netflix's top ten followed the case of Matthew Hardy, who in his native Britain stalked dozens of women using fake social profiles, images, and harassing friends and family.

Can I Tell You A Secret left out crucial details about cyberstalker Matthew Hardy and the impact he had on his victims and their families. Many of Hardy's victims, like activist Gina Martin, were not featured in the docuseries, despite reporting him over 100 times to the police. PC Kevin Anderson, who solved the case, received an award for his exceptional work in investigating the extreme online harassment incidents involving Hardy.

This article contains mention of online harassment and bullying.

Netflix's new docuseries Can I Tell You A Secret? left out a lot of major details about Matthew Hardy, his victims, and what happened afterward. Whether it was the true number of stalking incidents that Matthew was involved with or what happened to the police officer involved, there has been a lot of off-camera drama that has happened since the docuseries premiered on Netflix in February 2024. It has deeply affected...

Matthew Hardy stalked and harassed at least 62 women online over 11 years. The police had already received 100 complaints from different women about Matthew Hardy and arrested him 10 separate times before he was finally sent to prison for stalking. Matthew Hardy was sentenced to nine years in prison, the longest sentence for cyberstalking in UK history.

Netflix's newest crime documentary miniseries, Can I Tell You A Secret?, includes many shocking reveals about prolific UK cyberstalker Matthew Hardy. Based on the podcast of the same name by The Guardian reporter Sirin Kale, Can I Tell You A Secret? is a two-part true-crime show on Netflix about an online stalker who relentlessly harassed women with nonstop calls and messages under false identities for years. This included hacking their social media accounts and creating fake profiles pretending to be his victims and their friends, family, and colleagues, and spreading lies about them in order to ruin their relationships.

Cyberstalking is a heinous criminal offense that robs people of their mental peace forever and plunges them into the darkness of paranoia.

New York, Sep 12 (Ians) Spanish teenager Carlos Alcaraz displayed explosive power and demonstrated impressive touch around the net as he overcame a fighting Norwegian Casper Ruud 6-4, 2-6, 7-6(1), 6-3 to clinch his maiden Grand Slam trophy — the US Open crown — and secure the world No. 1 ranking on Monday (Ist).

The 19-year-old Alcaraz won 76 per cent of net points (34/45) to outlast his opponent inside the Arthur Ashe Stadium after a nearly three hours and 20 minute slugfest. This was Alcaraz’s 51st tour-level victory of the season

Drained of energy, Alcaraz dropped to the floor following the victory and then climbed up the stands to embrace his coach and former player Juan Carlos Ferrero.

Cohen Film Collection is gearing up for a number of newly restored releases, among them Simon Callow’s 1991 drama “The Ballad of the Sad Café” and a number of Buster Keaton works.

Part of New York-based Cohen Media Group, Cohen Film Collection restores classic films and re-releases them theatrically. It’s vast catalogue includes the Merchant Ivory collection, of which “The Ballad of the Sad Café” is a part.

Based on the 1951 novella by Carson McCullers, the film stars Vanessa Redgrave, Keith Carradine and Rod Steiger.

The George Eastman Museum in Rochester, New York, is currently finishing the restoration of the film, which Cohen Film Group plans to release next year.

“There’s still a number of features to go, so we’re working our way through those, including some of the films set in India, which I’m personally really interested in,” says Tim Lanza, Cohen Film Collection vice president and archivist.

November 5th is a historical day, but probably not for the reasons you’re thinking of. On this day in 1955, genius inventor Dr. Emmet Brown discovered the secret to time travel and changed the world forever. Or at least, he changed the world of sci-fi fans and 80s movie lovers forever. Yes, today is Back to the Future Day!

In the 1985 classic, Christopher Lloyd’s Doc Brown sets the date for his very first trip in his time-traveling DeLorean for November 5th, 1955, as it was such an important moment in his life. When Libyan terrorists storm his testing site, though, he’s apparently killed and Marty McFly (Michael J. Fox) takes off in his place. Arriving on November 5th 30 years (now 65 years) before, Marty has to convince the younger Doc to help him get the DeLorean up and running again.

Today is pretty much the most significant date in the Back to the Future universe,...

The goal of any new streaming service worth its salt is consolidation. We’ve got a lot of major entertainment conglomerates now and each one of them needs a streaming home to consolidate its content on. With that in mind, WarnerMedia’s HBO Max is undoubtedly the biggest streaming release since Disney+ last year.

When AT&T acquired Time Warner and all its holdings in 2016, the newly-branded WarnerMedia subsidiary needed a place to house thousands of Warner movies, and other series, films, and documentaries from Warner-branded studios like CNN, TNT, TBS, The CW, Adult Swim, and much more. Enter HBO Max. Though HBO Max is named after Warner’s original premier streaming and cable entity in HBO, this is much more than just an “upgraded” version of HBO. HBO Max is the juggernaut WarnerMedia streaming service AT&T promised.

WarnerMedia has finally revealed the name of their upcoming streaming service. It will be called HBO Max. The service is described as being “anchored” in HBO’s reputation for high quality TV and film while being “Maximized” by programming from other networks in the Warner Media empire.

The announcement of the name comes with some additional details.

WarnerMedia is diving full-bore into the streaming wars with HBO Max — a subscription service slated to bow next spring, stocked with HBO programming, original series, Warner Bros. movies and library content including the full 10-season run of “Friends.”

There’s no pricing info yet for HBO Max, nor is it fully clear how much content from HBO will be included in the subscription VOD package. The standalone HBO Now service currently costs $15 per month, so presumably HBO Max will cost more if it includes big chunks of what’s on HBO plus a slew of other content.

WarnerMedia says it expects HBO Max to have 10,000 hours of premium video content at launch. On Tuesday, it outlined some of the key shows that will be available.

The Minutes, a 2018 Pulitzer Prize finalist by Tracy Letts, will make its Broadway premiere next February, reuniting the playwright with his August: Osage County director Anna D. Shapiro, producers Jeffrey Richards and Steve Traxler announced today.

Shapiro, who won the 2008 Tony Award for her direction of Letts’ August, directed the premiere production of The Minutes at Chicago’s Steppenwolf Theatre in 2017. The 90-minute play features a cast of eleven actors. The Chicago cast included Kevin Anderson, William Petersen, Ian Barford, Francis Guinan and Sally Murphy.

The producers described the play as a “brisk, scathing new comedy about small-town politics and real-world power. Full of chicanery, back-stabbing, manipulation and perhaps some mistruths, the play refracts the current state of America and our politics through a town meeting in the very small fictional city of Big Cherry.”

Hollywood star Julia Roberts' classic movie Sleeping With The Enemy is set to be remade. The 1991 thriller stars the actress as a desperate woman who fakes her own death to escape her abusive husband. Now, 28 years later, studio officials at Fox Searchlight Pictures are working on a modern version of the same story, reports aceshowbiz.com.

Rising moviemaker Nia DaCosta has been tapped to write and direct the project, which will be developed by The Iron Lady producer Damian Jones, as part of his new Fox deal, according to Deadline.com.

Further details about the movie revamp are yet to be announced.

DaCosta made her feature film directorial debut with last year's Little Woods, a drama starring Tessa Thompson and Lily James as estranged sisters who are driven to extremes.

The original Sleeping With The Enemy release, which also featured actors Patrick Bergin and Kevin Anderson, was a hit for filmmaker Joseph Ruben.

Apparently there will always be movies to remake, even as we start to enter an era when everything has already been remade. Next up for a redo is the Julia Roberts 1991 thriller Sleeping with the Enemy, which was a modest hit and followed in the wake of Pretty Woman. It will be reimagined for modern audiences.

UK producer Damian Jones is behind this new iteration. The original followed an abused woman named Laura Burney. After faking her death in order to flee from her violent husband, Martin (Patrick Bergin), Laura (Julia Roberts) leaves Cape Cod and moves to Iowa, where she adopts a new identity and starts dating a local teacher, Ben Woodward (Kevin Anderson). Martin, meanwhile, unearths evidence suggesting that she isn't dead, and when her mother confirms this, he tracks her to Iowa. He finds Laura and Ben and confronts them, forcing her to fight for her life once again.

Wimbledon announced a new policy for its 2019 tournament to prevent marathon matches such as this year’s epic six-hour-plus semifinal duel between John Isner and Kevin Anderson.

There will now be a final-set tie-break that will only kick in when the score reaches 12-12, the All England Lawn Tennis Club said in a statement on its website Friday.

The decision comes in the wake of Isner and Anderson’s seemingly never-ending six-hour-36-minute match last June. Isner also holds the record for the longest professional tennis match in history when he defeated Nicolas Mahut in a total of 11 hours and 5 minutes of play over the course of three days at the 2010 Wimbledon.

Majority of tennis rackets are manufactured in Asia with Japan as the leading country in tennis racket production. The best types are those that have no strings because professional players prefer to have a choice on the strings to use it with. A tennis racket played by adults weigh 12.5 ounces while those children use weigh 6 ounces.

Wooden rackets weighed an average of 350 grams and were used from the 15th century until 1965. Professional players preferred them to steel frame rackets, not knowing that the latter was much more superior.

10. Dunlop Srixon Revo Cx

This is a tennis racket from Dunlop which is endorsed by Kevin Anderson. Kevin Anderson is a South African professional tennis player who is currently the world number 7. The racket fits perfectly into his gameplay with his need for control precision the Srixon delivers just that.

The Cx has a 95 square inches head size that does not provide much room for error.

It’s a weird quirk of the Marvel Cinematic Universe that a bunch of the stars of this all-American franchise are actually as British as they come.

For instance, two of the newest and most popular additions to the Avengers’ line-up, Spider-Man and Doctor Strange, are played by two Englishmen in Tom Holland and Benedict Cumberbatch, respectively. Meanwhile, one of the franchise’s longest mainstays, Loki, is portrayed by Tom Hiddleston.

So, naturally, when the Wimbledon Men’s Singles Final between Kevin Anderson and Novak Djokovic came around this weekend, the three acted like good Brits and went to see the game. Though they went separately, Holland couldn’t resist sharing the fact that he also spotted Hiddleston in the crowd.

Mom and dad's day out! Kate Middleton and Prince William enjoyed a date without their three adorable kids by attending the Wimbledon tennis tournament on Sunday, July 15.

Saturday’s Wimbledon Ladies’ Championship on ESPN was the network’s highest-rated match since 2015, earning a 2.1 overnight rating from Nielsen, up 27% from a 1.7 in 2017 (Garbine Muguruza vs. Venus Williams). The 2015 match garnered a 2.2 for Serena Williams vs. Muguruza.

In May of 2006, I sat down with actress Jessica Chastain, then an unknown and untested 29 year-old who was on the precipice of her first big break after being tapped by Al Pacino to co-star in his stage production of Oscar Wilde's "Salome" at the Wadsworth Theater. Then as now, Chastain's fresh-faced beauty made every passerby do a double-take as we spoke. Her ambition to succeed as a performer was palpable, and paid off in 2011 with Chastain appearing in six high-profile films: "Take Shelter," "The Tree of Life," "Coriolanus," "The Debt," "Texas Killing Fields," and "The Help," for which she received a Best Supporting Actress nomination. This year, Chastain received a nod in the Best Actress category for Katherine Bigelow's "Zero Dark Thirty" and is the undisputed front-runner to take a statuette home.

Father’S Day

Stars: Adam Brooks, Matthew Kennedy, Conor Sweeney, Amy Groening, Garrett Hnatiuk, Brent Neale, Kevin Anderson, Meredith Sweeney, Zsuzsi | Written and Directed by Astron-6 (aka Adam Brooks, Jeremy Gillespie, Matthew Kennedy, Steven Kostanski, Conor Sweeney)

For people who remember older Troma movies like The Toxic Avenger they will remember that they were pretty gory. Kids were run over then got their heads squashed under car wheels, hell the violence and gore was at a high level, but the most important thing was they had a sense of humour. A lot of horror films don’t go for that sense of humour now, some may say we have lost that element of horror that we just aim for the gore and forget what fun horror can be. In ways that is true, but then came Father’s Day.

Writers: Adam Brooks, Jeremy Gillespie, Matthew Kennedy and Steven Kostanski.

Cast: Astron-6: Adam Brooks, Matthew Kennedy, Conor Sweeney, Amy Groening, Garrett Hnatiuk, Brent Neale, Kevin Anderson, Meredith Sweeney, Zsuzsi, and Lloyd Kaufman.

Troma Entertainment is well known for its range of B movie craziness, and the schlock produced in Father's Day is different than their usual fare. It tries to be serious before slapping viewers with comedy. This film marks the debut of Astron-6, a new collective of filmmakers who quite enjoy stamping a grindhouse style onto their premiere product.

Although this tradition dates back to the days of early modern burlesque, the 30's and 70's vibe is replaced with more of the 80's style nostalgia. Here, Ahab (Adam Brooks) is out on a quest for revenge. He's after...

Sneak Peek a new poster and trailer supporting the upcoming documentary drama "Wilde Salome", written, directed by and starring Al Pacino.

Based on the 1891, one act play by author Oscar Wilde, "Wilde Salome, recounts the Biblical story of 'Salome', stepdaughter of 'Herod Antipas', who, to the delight of her mother 'Herodias', requests the head of 'John the Baptist' on a silver platter as a reward for dancing 'the dance of the seven veils'.

Cast also includes Jessica Chastain, Kevin Anderson, Estelle Parsons, Roxanne Hart, Barry Navidi and Joe Roseto :

Pippa Middleton covered up her trendy Summer eyelet dress with a denim jacket in London today. She headed out to watch Andy Roddick beat South Africa's Kevin Anderson in the Aegon Tennis Championships. Pippa seems to love sitting court side, as she was also in Paris last month for the French Open. Pippa's been in the spotlight since her sister's gorgeous wedding to Prince William in April, and she returned to the Goring Hotel, where she and Kate stayed before the big day, for a party with her parents Carole and Michael on Tuesday. Kate didn't join her family at the event, since she's been busy prepping for another public appearance with her husband. The annual Ark dinner is this evening, and Kate Middleton went to the Lock & Co. hat makers in a fuchsia dress this morning as she ran some last-minute errands. View Slideshow ›...
