Heidi Klum and Tim Gunn made their mark together as the hosts of the reality competition TV series “Project Runway.” The Emmy-winning pair left that show to preside over another hunt for the next hot designer, “Making the Cut.” This globe-trotting series, which debuts in March on Amazon Prime Video, takes contestants to the design capitals of the world as they compete to stay in the competition.
Amazon Prime Video has also cornered the market on the remakes of Agatha Christie‘s classic mystery novels. The adaptation of her one-off novel, “The Pale Horse,” starts to stream on Amazon Prime mid month after debuting on the BBC at Christmas.
Below is the full schedule of everything that is coming to Amazon Prime Video in March 2020. Unlike Netflix, Amazon does not disclose the shows and movies leaving the service in any given month.

Here's everything coming to Amazon Prime instant video in March 2020!
For its new releases in March 2020, Amazon Prime is enlisting help from some horror friends.
Yes, horror is the name of the game this month with Night of the Living Dead (albeit the 2007 version), The Crazies, and The Descent all arriving on March 1. And if that weren't enough, Pet Sematary comes a little later on on May 19. Look at Church the cat in that thumbnail image. How could you not want to watch his spooky adventures?
The Amazon original offerings are typically sparse for March 2020 but still pack some punch. Italian import ZeroZeroZero stars Gabriel Byrne and arrives on May 6. Then British import Agatha Christie's The Pale Horse comes a little later on March 13.
For what it's worth, Jay and Silent Bob Reboot debuts on March 13 so it's not all horror and all European TV all the time.

We’ve already touched base on the Netflix titles heading our way next month, but what about Amazon Prime?
Though the former is widely considered to be the undisputed heavyweight of the online streaming world, it didn’t take long for Prime to become a tantalizing prospect, no thanks to kick-ass original series like The Expanse, The Boys and The Man in the High Castle.
The real issue for the end consumer is juggling all those subscriptions, particularly now that Disney+ is live across North America (March 24th for those in the UK). Be that as it may, as February nears its end, Amazon has detailed all of the content bound for Prime in March 2020.
Among the new additions are a host of big-name horror films, including Neil Marshall’s The Descent and its creepy sequel. Best of all? Pet Sematary, the reimagining of Stephen King’s literary developed by Kevin Kolsch and Dennis Widmyer.

It’s hard to believe that after more than 20 years in Hollywood, Taraji P. Henson (“Hidden Figures”) is only just now headlining her first big-screen comedy, but here we are. Director Adam Shankman’s “What Men Want” is the latest in a long line of gender- and race-swapping remakes (“Ocean’s 8” and “Ghostbusters” are a few others) that Hollywood has determined to make its new cash cow.
So on the one hand, it’s great that Henson has this major vehicle that will hopefully catapult her to the status she deserves. But on the other hand, an actress of her caliber should also be entitled to an original franchise of her own.
All that aside, “What Men Want” is a classic example of a film that is amplified by the climate in which it’s born. Contrary to the original 2000 film starring Mel Gibson — which sees him as a sexist...

Michael C. Hall (l.) and Sam Shepard get down to business in Cold in July.
Michael C. Hall (TV’s Dexter), Sam Shepard (Mud) and Don Johnson (A Good Old Fashioned Orgy), arguably the manliest celluloid trio of the year, star in the Southern film noir thriller Cold in July.
While investigating noises in his house one balmy Texas night in 1989, Richard Dane (Hall) puts a bullet in the brain of lowlife burglar Freddy. Although he’s hailed as a small-town hero, Richard soon finds himself fearing for his family’s safety when Freddy’s ex-con father, Ben (Shepard), rolls into town, hell-bent on revenge. But not all is as it seems in this seemingly peaceful community, and soon Richard’s life begins to unravel into a dark underworld of corruption and violence that will pit him against the most unlikely of foes.

Will Forte will attend the 22nd Annual Whitaker St. Louis International Film Festival to participate in a Q&A following the fest’s opening-weekend screening of Nebraska at 7 p.m. Friday.
In Nebraska, a road comedy from acclaimed director Alexander Payne (“The Descendants,” “Sideways”), a father and son travel through the Midwest on the trail of a dubious fortune. The stubborn, taciturn Woody (Bruce Dern) is well past his prime, but he believes he’s got one last shot at mattering: a notice that he’s the lucky winner of a $1 million sweepstakes prize. To claim his fortune, Woody insists he must quickly get to the sweepstakes company’s office in Lincoln, Neb. – a 750-mile journey that he seems unlikely to finish. Worried for his father’s state of mind, it falls to Woody’s reluctant, baffled son (played by Forte) to accompany him on the trip.

Rob Lowe is leaving Parks and Recreation halfway through this season, and now we know where he's going once he leaves Pawnee: Another NBC sitcom. According to Deadline, NBC has given a production commitment to The Pro, a single-camera comedy from Pete Huyck and Alex Gregory (A Good Old Fashioned Orgy) in which Lowe would play a washed-up tennis star stuck working as a pro at a local tennis club. Sure, some of us were hoping Lowe's next role would be something more on the Sam Seaborn side of the spectrum, but okay.

-- "We're the Millers" is an identity comedy with identity issues.
Jason Sudeikis plays a pot dealer who, as a disguise for smuggling a huge shipment of weed, forms a fake family to drive an Rv across the Mexico border. He gathers local stripper Rose (Jennifer Aniston), surly homeless teenager Casey (Emma Roberts) and his young, naive neighbor Kenny (Will Poulter).
The whole concept has two motives: to lampoon the idea of the traditional all-American family, and as an excuse to get Aniston to take off her clothes. Both are worthy endeavors, but everything in "We're the Millers" feels forced – a hodgepodge of comedic rhythms made to lurch from one crude gag to another.
Despite obvious comedic talents, Sudeikis and Aniston have each had difficulty finding their place in the movies, and neither really fit their parts: small-time Denver pot dealer (dispatched for the pick-up by Ed Helms' polite...

Then, Marlon Wayans' slim budgeted Haunted House earned sixteen times its production costs, and now has a sequel on the way. Finally, the celeb-parodying apocalypse comedy This is The End has already banked $60 million in just two weeks, spurring sequel talk there too. Coming soon into this fray is Hell Baby, an irreverent horror-comedy that boasts an insanely impressive ensemble of comedy stars and had its world debut at the Sundance Film Festival. Check out this freaky flick's first trailer above, or in HD over on Apple. Hell Baby marks the co-directing debut of Robert Ben Garant and Thomas Lennon, who memorably created Reno 911! .

Disney has announced that Jon Hamm's new film, Million Dollar Arm, has started shooting. The movie is being directed by Craig Gillespie (Fright Night), and also stars Bill Paxton, Lake Bell, and Alan Arkin. Here's what the film is about:
Based on a true story, Disney’s “Million Dollar Arm” follows Jb Bernstein, a once-successful sports agent who now finds himself edged out by bigger, slicker competitors. He and his partner Aash (Aasif Mandvi) will have to close their business down for good if Jb doesn’t come up with something fast. Late one night, while watching cricket being played in India on TV, Jb comes up with an idea so radical it just might work. Why not go to there and find the next baseball pitching sensation? Setting off for Mumbai with nothing but a gifted but cantankerous scout (Alan Arkin) in tow, Jb stages a televised, nationwide...

In "Piranha 3Dd," which hits theaters this Friday, the community of Lake Victoria is besieged by another swarm of prehistoric, man-eating fish. In the first film, it was drunken spring breakers who fell victim to the gory attacks. This time around, it's the partygoers at the Lake's "Adults Only" water park Big Wet (which happens to be watched over by stripper lifeguards and celebrity spokesman David Hasselhoff). The piranha invade thanks to an illegal river pump Ok'd by the park's dirtbag owner, Chet, played by none other than "that guy!" comedic scene-stealer David Koechner. (You might remember him as the sleazy Todd Packer on "The Office" or the sleazy boss from "Waiting..." or the sleazy boss from "Final Destination 5.") Koechner spoke with Moviefone and explained how to convincingly portray a slimeball that unwittingly unleashes a stomach-churning monster massacre -- and how to do it while not being distracted by the constant on-set nudity.

New York — How can "Saturday Night Live" possibly replace (fill in the blank)?
How many times have we asked that question across nearly four decades?
"Impossible!" said some in 2006 when Tina Fey, Chris Parnell, Horatio Sanz and Rachel Dratch headed for the door, only to be followed two years later by her friend and "Weekend Update" co-host Amy Poehler.
But in their wake grew one of the most versatile, multi-threat casts in "SNL" history, one that firmly established its own "SNL" era. Kristen Wiig, Andy Samberg, Bill Hader and Jason Sudeikis all became cast members in the 2005-2006 season, joining a group that already included Seth Meyers, Fred Armisen and Kenan Thompson.
At the time, "SNL" creator and executive producer Lorne Michaels pronounced them "the wave of the future" and Fey likened herself to a senior seeing "exciting freshmen" arrive. But as this latest season of the sketch institution comes...

Who are the funniest cast members in the current season of “Saturday Night Live”? If you said Kristen Wiig, Jason Sudeikis and Andy Samberg, you would be correct, which is exactly why we are so concerned over rumors that the trio will be bowing out of the show at the end of this season.
Us Weekly is reporting the three will be moving on to bigger and better things once this season is over. It's not the most shocking news considering their rising star power. Wiig ruled the box office and scored an Oscar nomination with her comedy “Bridesmaids,” Sudeikis charmed us in “Horrible Bosses” and “Hall Pass” and goofball Samberg is starting to get more film parts (including the upcoming Sundance favorite "Celeste and Jesse Forever," which was written by and stars Rashida Jones) in addition to his comedy work with The Lonely Island guys.

Danger! Olivia Wilde and Jason Sudeikis are going to test their off screen relationship, by working together. Will their relationship survive? These are the tough questions gossip sites will be asking as the new movie "Relanxious" (terrible title) gears up.
The duo will be joined by the charming Brie Larson ("The United States Of Tara," "Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World") and the awesome Fred Armisen ("Portlandia," "Saturday Night Live," "Trenchmouth"; still waiting for our Nicholas Fehn movie, btw) in the upcoming comedy. Christopher Storer will make his directorial debut on the project that centers on the anxiety ridden Barrett (Wilde) and the agoraphobic George (Sudeikis) who talk to each other about the kind of dates and romance they would go on if they could just find the ability to leave the house. Larson and Armisen will play Barrett's sister and Geroge's best friend respectively and we're guessing the beautiful and...

At the ceremony, the organization will also present a seventy-six-page report objectively proving that patriotic movies, which uphold bedrock, conservative principles and don't denigrate Christianity, rake in more at the box office than more liberal movies with their "looser" morals. The Movieguide report proudly endorses such 2011 releases as We Bought a Zoo, Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close, Battle: Los Angeles, Moneyball, and Hugo, while giving the stink eye to films like Red State, Super 8, A Good Old Fashioned Orgy (shocker!), We Need to Talk About Kevin, Bad Teacher, [...]...

Films promoting values such as capitalism and Christianity more profitable than 'liberal' competition, says Movieguide
Films that embody "conservative" values such as capitalism and Christian belief are more likely to prove profitable than those which take a more "liberal" standpoint, according to a Us group called Movieguide, which promotes the former.
Movies from the past year that meet Movieguide's threshold for adhering to "traditional" values include Oscars frontrunners such as Hugo and The Artist, as well as less celebrated fare such as comic book film Thor and Tom Cruise comeback vehicle Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol. The organisation will honour the year's top conservative films at a special awards show on Friday to mark 20 years of highlighting the merits of movies with morals. It has produced a special 76-page report on the good, the bad and the ugly of the film universe's past 12 months, which is on sale for $1,000 a...

A Good Old Fashioned Orgy star Lindsay Sloane is now a good old-fashioned mommy. The actress and her hubby, Dar Rollins, welcomed a baby girl last Thursday. The little bundle of joy is their first child together, and the actress has happily flaunted her baby bump on the red carpet in the months leading up to the delivery. So what did they name her? Say hello to Maxwell Lue. (We're so loving the name!) But don't expect the cutie to be all dolled up in pink. At an afterparty for Orgy last year, Us pressed the actress about dressing her baby up in the girly hue, to which Sloane replied, "Eh, I don't think so." An alternate color perhaps? "She'll embrace blue if...

Possessing crack comedic timing, beauty and yet still a sympathetic visage and demeanor, Lindsay Sloane exudes girl-next-door goodness, a quality which has kept her steadily employed in a variety of mostly sunny roles in both movies and television. It’s exactly these traits which writer-directors Peter Hyuck and Alex Gregory wished to deploy in subversive manner by casting Sloane in their bawdy comedy “A Good Old Fashioned Orgy,” just out on DVD last week. ShockYa had a chance to sit down and chat with Sloane about the uniquely titled ensemble movie, as well as her off-screen thoughts on its subject matter and what exactly the “orgy cut-off number” is that makes her uncomfortable.

[1] A year ago, we thought we'd see John Hillcoat's The Wettest County by the end of 2011. By the end of last year, we had a new release date: April 20 [2]. Now it seems we'll have to wait even longer, as The Weinstein Co. has pushed the opening back again, this time to August 31. It's disappointing news, not only because we're eager [3] to see the film but also because it's a date that suggests the studio isn't giving it much of a chance. Labor Day weekend is generally one of the slowest of any given year, and it's usually a bad sign for a movie when the studio dumps it into that slot. Based on "mostly true" events, Hillcoat's historical drama centers around a group of brothers (Tom Hardy, Shia Labeouf, and Jason Clarke) who get into the bootlegging business in Prohibition-era Virginia. Jessica Chastain, Mia Wasikowska, Guy Pearce, and Gary Oldman also star.

The Five-Year Engagement
Directed by: Nicholas Stoller

Thoughts by Tsr:
I enjoyed the last Stoller/Segel production, Forgetting Sarah Marshall, and it looks like they spent some time on this one. It’s another romantic comedy, this time about a happy couple who end up prolonging their engagement due to career and family matters. Blunt looks adorable and fun, maybe because she’s free to talk in her real voice and not use an accent. On the other hand, Alison Brie looks like she may have fun putting on a British accent. It’ll be nice to see how she fares outside Community and Mad Men. I think she has the capacity to be an awesome comedian. Jacki Weaver plays Blunt’s mother. I don’t know if she’s supposed to be Australian...

The Film Comedy films come in waves usually lasting up to five years. Recent trends over the past decade have ranged from the light-hearted Apatows to the raunchy frat-pack films. A Good Old Fashioned Orgy, however, calls back much further: to the late 90’s American Pie-inspired sexploitation flicks. This wild sex romp is about a group of longtime friends who are in their 30’s and on the verge of losing their old summer house. So, naturally, they decide to give it one last send-off… by having an orgy in it. The premise is bizarre, to say the least; and as it turns out, it’s a little difficult to sincerely root for group sex. The real problem is that it’s hard to empathize with the characters at all. They’re in their thirties, yet they still act as though life is a big frat party in...

Heh heh, we had almost forgotten about that scene in "Office Space." With "A Good Old Fashioned Orgy...

There aren't a ton of noteworthy releases to spend your leftover Christmas money and gift cards on this week, but if you're a horror fan there just might be a few titles of interest to you. The biggest release of the week is Final Destination 5, which seems to have appeased fans more than the previous installment in the franchise, along with the found footage lunar landing horror flick Apollo 18. Direct-to-dvd sequel Hostel: Part III also hits stores today, as does the crowd-funded Australian horror film The Tunnel and Uwe Boll's Dungeon Siege sequel In The Name of the King 2: Two Worlds starring Dolph Lundgren. Other options include the Jason Sudeikis comedy A Good Old Fashioned Orgy and Rowan Joffe's crime thriller Brighton Rock, but your best bet probably lies with this week's TV releases: Shameless: The Complete First Season, Archer: Season 2 and The Increasingly Poor Decisions of Todd Margaret...

Welcome to the last DVD column of 2011! There’s been quite a bit of chatter about how dismal of a year it was for film, but while there’s no doubt the box office haul is lower than the year before the same can’t be said for film quality. This week’s releases include the dirty fun of A Good Old Fashioned Orgy, the cool deaths (but little else) of Final Destination 5, two found footage films of varying quality (The Tunnel, Apollo 18) and two future cult classics (Kill List, The Skin I Live In) possibly worth an import for folks who don’t want to wait several more months for Us releases. As always, if you see something you like, click on the image to buy it. Fish Story A comet heads toward Earth, but as the planet awaits destruction a few strangers sit in a record shop discussing how a mysterious song from...

Today is the last day for those fresh, new DVDs to hit store shelves before the end of a pretty good year. Certainly, the following list of DVDs should pique your interests as, like always, there is something for everyone. I am most excited for Shameless. Shameless, if you don't know, is quite good and I'm desperately looking forward to season 2, which, coincidently falls on my birthday. Here are this weeks quick picks.

Ah, December. The time of year when we reflect on what the last twelve months of cinema have meant, with dignity, thoughtfulness, and respect. Oh, and also the time of the year where we take the names of movies and make them really, really filthy by imagining how the porn industry would turn them into parody titles, a la "Edward Penishands," "The Sexorcist," "Intercourse with a Vampire," "On Golden Blonde," and other immortal classics.
Someday soon, those legends may be joined by the titles you see below (all I ask for is a special thank you in the credits. And a walk-on role. Kidding. (Maybe.)) And now, please welcome the 2011 class of porn parody titles! They are:
"War Whores"
"Meek in Cutoffs"
"Mars Needs MILFs"
"The Cum Diary"
"Moneyballs"
"Project Nympho"
"The Foreskin I Live In"
"Another Earth-Shaking Orgasm"
"The Pornography of Nicolae Ceausescu"
"Elite Squat: The Enemy Within (My Butt)"
