Why Candace Cameron Bure doesn't let adult children watch 'demonic' scary movies
Candace Cameron Bure recently shared that she believes that playing scary movies on TVs is a "portal" for "demonic stuff."
The former co-host of "The View" and a devout Christian shared her views on the matter during a conversation with her youngest son, Lev, 25, and Waco, Texas-based pastor Jonathan Pokluda during a recent episode of her self-titled podcast.
The Great American Family star, 49, added that "I don't even want someone watching a scary movie in our house on the TV because to me, that's just a portal," telling her son and "JP" that "I'm in the film industry. I understand how it all works."

The younger sister to actor Kirk Cameron continued: "I know that movie has a crew of 200 people, and they're lighting it, and they're adding the sound effects, and it's makeup, and the camera, people, and actors; however, there's still something that can be incredibly demonic while they've made it."

Cameron Bure's comment came after she suggested that her kids laugh at her about her strict guidelines surrounding her faith.
"In our house as a mom, I feel like you guys make fun of me when I talk about — they make fun of me all the time — but particularly when I'm serious about a spiritual thing happening, and then they're rolling their eyes at me," Cameron Bure said, in reference to her eldest son and her two other adult children Natasha, 26, and Maksim, 23, with Valeri Bure.
"They laugh at me because 'the portal,'" the "Full House" said. "I'm like, you're opening up a portal. Like if you're watching this or playing this video game, or whatever, that's a portal that could let stuff inside our home."
Then, the fan favorite "Dancing with the Stars" contestant addressed Pokluda and said that she understood his past comments comparing popular canned water company Liquid Death to something "cursed."
"That just reminded me like you posted something a while back about Liquid Death," she said. "You're like, 'Do you want to buy a product that is literally being cursed as it's going out into distribution?'"

Bryce Dallas Howard never tried alcohol. Here's how she played drunk in 'Deep Cover'
Bryce Dallas Howard never tried alcohol. Here's how she played drunk in 'Deep Cover' Show Caption Hide Caption 'Superman,' Mission: Impossible,' 'F1' and summer's must-see films USA TODAY film critic Brian Truitt releases his list of summer's must-see films. The highlights include "Superman" and "Mission: Impossible." NEW YORK − Bryce Dallas Howard never sipped alcohol in her life. But that didn't stop her from acting like an alcoholic who needs an intervention in her new crime comedy "Deep Cover" (streaming now on Amazon Prime Video). "I put ice cubes in my mouth because it kind of numbs your mouth," Howard, 44, reveals to USA TODAY of her trick to play drunk. "I also really enunciate a lot, so (the ice) helps to get the slurring going." Howard's other trick? She spins in circles to get dizzy. "That made me sick," Howard's co-star, Nick Mohammed, 44, interjects. "I'd rather get drunk." Join our Watch Party! Sign up to receive USA TODAY's movie and TV recommendations right in your inbox In "Deep Cover," Howard plays Kat, an improv-comedy teacher who is recruited along with two of her students (Mohammed and Orlando Bloom) to infiltrate a criminal gang in London. The actors note that there wasn't much improv in the movie, with the exception of the aforementioned intervention scene. After seeing her out on the town gallivanting with a few shady characters, Kat's friends intervene, unaware that the teacher is actually on a secret mission at the direction of law enforcement. There was one part of Howard's character that hit closer to home: teaching. The filmmaker holds a degree from New York University and taught classes there about the entertainment industry. Howard says she recently moved back to the New York area and is in talks with the university about returning to the classroom. "I could relate to the excitement around seeing other people (learn) and seeing people kind of come alive," Howard says. "But I also had even more empathy for my character because the thing that I teach in, I also do for my living. Whereas with Kat, she was teaching something that she wanted to be doing for her living, but she wasn't really getting a shot at it." Howard wasn't the only actor to partake in debauchery: Mohammed's character Hugh has to snort cocaine during the trio's initial meeting with the gangster Fly (Paddy Considine) to prove that the trio aren't posers. As for any real-life parallels, Mohammed says he has never taken drugs. Something bizarre but unrelated to the movie did happen to him four months ago, though: He almost lost a finger. The actor, best known as Nate Shelley from "Ted Lasso," says he sliced it while trying to remove an avocado pit. Fans of "Ted Lasso" may recall that in Season 3, Mohammed played violin during a scene. The actor learned the instrument when he was a child and performed in his college orchestra. He doesn't break out the violin for "Deep Cover" and says his injury has prevented him from playing. Mohammed explained to his mother, who was a doctor, that he doesn't really have any feeling in the finger. "My mom said, 'That might come back in a year,' " Mohammed recalls of the conversation. "I was like, 'And if it doesn't?' She's like, 'If it doesn't come back in a year, it's not coming back.'" At least in this situation, it doesn't seem as if ice is going to help.

Kate Beckinsale says 'Canary Black' producers made her perform 'dangerous' action stunts
Kate Beckinsale is suing the producers of her 2024 film "Canary Black," claiming she was exposed to "unsafe" working conditions and forced to perform stunts resulting in "debilitating" injuries. In a lawsuit first filed anonymously in December, amended May 21 and obtained by USA TODAY June 12, Beckinsale alleged that the "extremely challenging and physically demanding" action role, in which she plays a former CIA agent, caused "significant trauma to her left knee." Media site Puck was first to report the lawsuit. Beckinsale is suing producer John Zois, Anton Entertainment Media Services and Canary Black LTD for negligence, intentional infliction of emotional distress and battery. Beckinsale, 51, is requesting a jury trial, as well as economic, non-economic and punitive damages. USA TODAY has reached out to Beckinsale and Zois' reps for comment. Kate Beckinsale details assault on set at 18, more abuse after Blake Lively complaint Beckinsale, who filmed the movie from late 2022 to early 2023, said despite prior agreements and the actress and her team raising the alarm on what they call "unsafe" conditions – including 15-hour shooting days, surprise stunts and lack of adequate equipment and medical personnel on set – the production "recklessly and intentionally" forged ahead, according to the lawsuit. Before filming began in Croatia in September 2022, Beckinsale and the movie's producers had agreed to have physical health resources – including gym equipment, a physical trainer or a qualified massage therapist – but none were provided, the lawsuit stated. She was also contracted to be on set for no more than 12 hours, which filming routinely pushed past. She said the producers would often deviate from the filming schedule and inform her of stunts "spur of the moment," therefore "recklessly increasing the risk of injury." And she recalled being told on the same day that scenes previously set to be filmed via green screen were suddenly "practical." At one point, Beckinsale's stuntwoman broke an ankle after a "dangerous" scene. As a replacement, the producers provided an "unqualified" stunt performer who was "simply the girlfriend of the stunt coordinator." According to Beckinsale, Zois at another point told her "that the production company had failed" to do "any significant training period" for things like harness work. In November 2022, Beckinsale and her team brought concerns to Zois, per the filing, which he purportedly acknowledged. "I don't know what else to say other than you're right," he said, according to the suit. And "bottom line, we need to shorten these days…The days are too packed for the pace we are moving and it's CLEARLY not sustainable." However, conditions did not change, the lawsuit states. And in a December 2022 incident, Beckinsale was directed to perform a "dangerous" stunt with a male actor that involved throwing and slamming her into a wall, per the filing. The actor was fully padded, while Beckinsale only received mini pads, providing no protection. Despite her complaints, many takes were shot, resulting in her suffering a complex meniscus tear in her left knee, the suit said. The lawsuit stated that Beckinsale was immediately pressured to return to finish the film, with the actress asserting her return was contingent upon her doctor approving the shot list and the team sticking to strict physical limitations. Despite the medical orders, when the actress returned in February 2023, the film's producers failed to adhere to orders, continuing to inform her of unsafe action shots last minute, which caused further injury.
