I was a little kid when Jaws came out, but you know how people were thinking twice before getting into the water after seeing Jaws. Well NOPE will have you thinking twice before looking up at the sky. It is definitely a horror film and a good one at that.

Teen idols Frankie Avalon and Annette Funicello returned to the big screen for a new surf-and-sand adventure with the hip, hilarious 80s updateBACK TO THE BEACH, which was originally released on August 7, 1987. To celebrate the film’s 35th anniversary, the delightful romp will arrive on Blu-ray for the first time as part of the Paramount Presents line on August 9, 2022 from Paramount Home Entertainment.
Newly remastered from a new 4K scan of the original film elements, BACK TO THE BEACH is a fan-favorite cult classic that lovingly parodies the quintessential 60s “beach party” films. Frankie and Annette, having grown up and put aside their beach-partying lifestyle, visit their daughter in Southern California and discover there's still some wild times left in them. Along for the fun in the California sun are a host of familiar faces: Connie Stevens, Dick Dale, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Don Adams, Bob Denver, Jerry Mathers, Barbara Billingsley, Edd “Kookie” Byrnes, and Pee-Wee Herman.
The Paramount Presents Blu-ray of BACK TO THE BEACH includes a brand-new Filmmaker Focus with director Lyndall Hobbs featuring never-before-seen home movies from the set, as well as access to a digital copy of the film. The Blu-ray is presented in collectible packaging featuring a foldout image of the film’s theatrical poster and an interior spread with key movie moments.
On August 13, 1997, Comedy Central debuted Trey Parker and Matt Stone’s “South Park” to massive acclaim and outrage. 25 years later, the bitingly satirical and brilliantly funny show continues to delight and offend viewers around the world.

In the latest must-own season, Randy comes to terms with his role in the COVID-19 outbreak as the on-going pandemic presents continued challenges to the citizens of South Park. The kids happily head back to school, but nothing resembles the normal that they once knew; not their teachers, not their homeroom, not even Eric Cartman.
The saga continues as award-winning filmmaker Denis Villeneuve embarks on the next chapter of Frank Herbert’s celebrated novel DUNE with an expanded all-star international ensemble cast.
Burbank, CA – July 18, 2022 – Coming off the heels of the critical and box-office success of the six-time Academy Award® winning first film, Warner Bros. Pictures and Legendary Entertainment have begun production on the highly-anticipated follow-up, “Dune: Part Two,” once again directed by Oscar nominee Denis Villeneuve (“Dune: Part One,” “Arrival,” “Blade Runner 2049”).
The big-screen epic continues the adaptation of Frank Herbert’s acclaimed bestseller DUNE with returning stars including Oscar nominee Timothée Chalamet (“Wonka,” “Call Me by Your Name”), Zendaya (“Spider-Man: No Way Home,” “Malcolm & Marie,” “Euphoria”), Rebecca Ferguson (“Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning”), Oscar winner Javier Bardem (“No Country for Old Men,” “Being the Ricardos”), Oscar nominee Josh Brolin (“Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery,” “Army of the Dead”), Stellan Skarsgård (the “Mamma Mia!” films, “Avengers: Age of Ultron”), Dave Bautista (the “Guardians of the Galaxy” films, “Thor: Love and Thunder”), Oscar nominee Charlotte Rampling (“45 Years,” “Assassin’s Creed”), and Stephen McKinley Henderson (“Fences,” “Lady Bird”).

Gains, Brian Herbert, Byron Merritt, Kim Herbert, Thomas Tull, Jon Spaihts, Richard P. Rubinstein and John Harrison, with Kevin J. Anderson serving as creative consultant.
