Product Description The career of the A-list actress who's made it to the top with a rare combination of down-to-earth charm, unassuming beauty, and a disdain for living in Hollywood. The daughter of a vocal coach and an opera singer, Bullock soared to stardom in Speed, and after a few box office bombs scored again with Miss Congeniality. Bullock has moved to Texas to avoid the Hollywood media glare, but the savvy, family-oriented Bullock is still one of the most powerful players in filmmaking.

MISS CONGENIALITY: When a notorious criminal mastermind kno
... Read more
MISS CONGENIALITY: When a notorious criminal mastermind known only as the Citizen threatens to terrorize the Miss United States Pageant the FBI scours their ranks to find a female agent capable of winning the contest and capturing the killer before it's too late. Special Agent Gracie Hart Sandra Bullock may be the most physically beautiful woman in the Bureau but her tomboyish lack of feminine grace jeopardizes the plan and spells disaster. Forced to turn to the once-proud beauty pageant consultant Victor Melling Michael Caine Agent Eric Matthews Benjamin Bratt tries to accomplish the impossible goal of transforming Hart from an unrefined rogue to a model candidate of elegance poise and style with the irresistible power to win the pageant and simultaneously catch the killer. MISS CONGENIALITY combines the hilarious physical comedy and girl-next-door charm of Sandra Bullock with Michael Caine's trademark British wit and impotent outrage adding up to a devastating orgy of comedy glamour and catastrophe. MISS CONGENIALITY 2: Picking up three months after the events of the first film this inspired sequel opens with agent Gracie Hart Sandra Bullock back in action against a team of lady bank robbers only to have her cover blown by her newfound fame. In an effort to capitalize on the publicity--and as a result of being dumped by her boyfriend from the first film--Gracie lets herself be made into the feel-good ambassador of the FBI helped by the staggeringly hip Joel Dietrich Bader and his stylists. The change is not good for the brash Ms. Hart however who is soon appearing on morning television and dispensing fashion tips instead of girl-power platitudes. Of course this phase doesn't last long; some goons out in Las Vegas kidnap Mrs. Congeniality Heather Burns and host Stan Fields William Shatner prompting Hart with her intensely angry bodyguard Sam Fuller Regina King to strap on her guns and get back in the game. Her method of operation includes beating up Dolly Parton defying a sexist FBI bigwig Treat Williams and faking cramps. At one point she disguises herself as an old Jewish woman in a wheelchair and later she's a Las Vegas showgirl doing "Proud Mary" at a drag club. Bullock's good-natured performance recalls the old-school comedic talents of Bob Hope or Barbara Stanwyck; she effortlessly makes Gracie Hart a unique and complex woman who is capable sarcastic intuitive impressionable and a secretly lonely tomboy. Also a plus is the refreshing lack of a male romantic interest as Hart and Fuller don't need some handsome guy to ride to their rescue and they aren't going to let sexual discrimination stop them from getting the job done.

... Read more
The Net, the first of Hollywood's big cyberthrillers of the mid-1990s, was also the most successful, thanks in large part to the natural appeal of star Sandra Bullock. Still riding high from Speed and While You Were Sleeping, Bullock plays a computer expert victimized by sinister cyberforces who steal her identity for reasons unknown. It's a clever combination of high-tech paranoia and Hitchcockian references (including Jeremy Northam as a romantic stranger named Devlin, after Cary Grant in Notorious). Film historians may look back someday on films like this--Roger Ebert calls them "hacksploitation"--to see what they reveal about our society's reaction to the increasing role of technology in our lives, just as we now study the fears of Communism and the atom bomb reflected in films of the 1950s. Dennis Miller and Diane Baker costar. --Jim Emerson

Sandra Bullock, Dennis Miller and Jeremy Northam star in this hit thriller about a computer expert whose life is "erased" by a computer conspiracy. A freelance software analyst, Angela Bennett, is inadvertently drawn into a dangerous conspiracy when a client asks her to de-bug a CD-ROM game. Soon the client turns up dead and Angela is next on the hit-list. After the assassins obliterate her official identity, Angela realizes hers is not the only life being destroyed on the Net. Like the best Hitchcock, THE NET builds tension to unbearable heights until "this edge of your seat nail-biter explodes with suspense. Sandra Bullock is sensational."

John Grisham's bestseller A Time to Kill hits the screen with incendiary force, directed by Joel Schumacher (Batman Forever, The Client). Sandra Bullock, Samuel L. Jackson, Matthew McConaughey and Kevin Spacey portray the principals in a murder trial that brings a small Mississippi town's racial tensions to the flashpoint. Amid a frenzy of activist marches, Klan terror, media clamor and brutal riots, an unseasoned but idealistic young attorney mounts a stirring courtroom battle for justice. The superb ensemble also includes Brenda Fricker, Oliver Platt, Charles S. Dutton, Ashley Judd, Patrick McGoohan, Chris Cooper and both Donald and Keifer Sutherland. These and other talents make A Time to Kill "one ofthe year's most powerful films" (Jeffrey Lyons, SNEAK PREVIEW/ABC WORLD NEWS NOW).

... Read more
THE PROPOSAL could have been a strictly script-by-numbers affair but hilarious performances by Sandra Bullock and Ryan Reynolds improve this romantic comedy. Publishing powerhouse Margaret Tate Bullock TWO WEEKS NOTICE is used to getting her way. She bullies her ambitious assistant Andrew Paxton Reynolds DEFINITELY MAYBE earning the ire of all the underlings at Colden Books in New York City. But Margaret a native Canadian finds her career in jeopardy when she is denied a visa and learns she will be sent northward. She forces Andrew to become her fianc but she'll have to take a trip home to Alaska with him to prove to U.S. Immigration that their impending union is genuine. What ensues is a combination of GREEN CARD THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA and GREEN ACRES with the hell-in-heels boss trying to fake a romance with her assistant as she struggles to survive as a city girl in the country. However THE PROPOSAL proves to be more than the sum of its parts; Bullock has been one of Julia Roberts's successors to the America's-sweetheart crown since she starred in SPEED but this comedy has her challenging her image with hilarious ease. Reynolds--who could be just window-dressing with his good looks and easy charm--is an excellent foil who is just as adept with sarcasm as he is with a smile. The two stars are supported by an impressive cast including Betty White as Andrew's scheming 90-year-old grandmother Craig T. Nelson as his disappointed father and THE OFFICE's Oscar Nunez as an ubiquitous resident of his hometown. THE PROPOSAL may offer few surprises in the way of plot but the on-screen talent keeps the film feeling fresh.

Frank (Richard Harris) is an amatory ex-seaman. Walt (Robert Duvall) is a reserved haircutter leading an orderly quiet life. When the two lonely old men meet, they become reluctant friends and swap stories about their lifetimes. Together they combat loneliness, old age and their disparate dispositions. But after Frank harasses Walter's friend, Elaine (Sandra Bullock), their relationship is shattered and they are forced to reevaluate one another. A touching story from melodrama filmmaker, Randa Haines, WRESTLING ERNEST HEMINGWAY is clever minimal film.

Duvall and Harris brilliant as the quarreling old duo.

... Read more
You'd expect a cavalcade of cuteness from any pairing of Sandra Bullock and Hugh Grant, but Two Weeks Notice admirably avoids the obvious. You get plenty of Bullock's pratfalls and feisty sex appeal, and Grant's snappy comebacks are never in short supply, but first-time writer-director Marc Lawrence (who wrote Bullock's previous hit, Miss Congeniality) adds just enough antagonism to keep this romantic comedy from being a completely foregone conclusion. Neurotic lawyer, environmentalist, and landmark-preservation activist Lucy Kelson (Bullock) is determined to thwart the efforts of billionaire developer and jet-setting playboy George Wade (Grant); of course, fate brings them together and then rips them apart, just as they're beginning to feel the panicky pangs of love. A replacement attorney (Alicia Witt) defies formula by being genuinely sweet, and Lawrence steers clear of the most familiar clichés. It's formulaic anyway, but in Two Weeks Notice it's a comforting formula, delivered by stars who thrive within their limitations. --Jeff Shannon

... Read more
Sandra Bullock CRASH MISS CONGENIALITY stars as a housewife troubled by a tragic premonition in Mennan Yapo's thriller. Linda Hanson's life revolves around her beloved daughters Shyann McClure and Courtney Taylor Burness and her husband Jim Julian McMahon CHARMED. The familiar picture-perfect terrain of her existence is abruptly shattered when she is informed that Jim has died in a gruesome car accident and Linda spends the rest of the day in shock. When she awakes the next morning to find Jim calmly eating breakfast in the kitchen however she is even more disturbed. As the week progresses Linda wakes up to find Jim alive again or dead again in an increasingly complex pattern that she struggles to make sense of. Linda realizes she's in the midst of a premonition and decides she must try to save Jim but when she finds out he might have been cheating on her her resolve is seriously tested. PREMONITION should appeal to fans of Christopher Nolan's MEMENTO and M. Night Shyamalan's THE SIXTH SENSE as it too presents an intriguing puzzle for the audience to solve. Despite a few plot holes the film provides an interesting take on the mutability of time. The notion of a mysterious unknown beneath the mundanity of everyday life is attractive and the exploration of time as twistable--rather than linear--is fascinating. Nia Long ALFIE plays Linda's best friend and Amber Valetta HITCH plays the other woman in Jim's life.
