Bob Knight, College Basketball Coach and ESPN Analyst, Dies at 83

After 2023’s earlier surprise comedic family gem, You Are Not Invited To My Bat Mitzvah, Adam Sandler and his Happy Madison productions does it again for Netflix, this time in the delightful and remarkably wise CGI animated feature, Leo. It is a charmer for kids and their parents who get a few lessons here along the way as well.

Adam Sandler is known for his 1994 hit “The Chanukah Song,” so it comes as a surprise that he actually wasn’t offered to sing it first on “Saturday Night Live.”The comedian, 57, who debuted the tune on a “Weekend Update” sketch with late actor Norm Macdonald, now reveals that Roseanne Barr was initially asked to take center stage. At the time, Barr, 71, was hosting the NBC sketch comedy show that week.“They were talking about Roseanne singing it,” Sandler told Access Hollywood recently. He went on: “And she was nice enough to say ‘no, let Adam do that, that’s his, he wrote it, that’s his song.’”“I’m happy to be a part of Hanukkah.

Adam Sandler and his wife, Jackie Sandler, are no strangers to the red carpet, but lately, they’ve been joined by their daughters Sadie, 17, and Sunny, 15. The happy family has been making movie magic together, releasing their second film this year, “Leo.” On Sunday, the Sandler family was all smiles at the premiere at the Regency Village Theater in Westwood, California.Each member of the family showed off their unique style.

After the release of “Uncut Gems,” the idea of Adam Sandler reteaming with the Safdie Brothers was something people became very, very excited about. And then, it seemed as if our prayers were answered, as it was reported that Sandler and the Safdies, particularly Josh Safdie, were going to work together on a brand-new film.

Netflix is known for adding a ton of original content every month on the streaming service.

Adam Sandler worked with his entire family for his new Netflix animated film Leo and they all walked the red carpet together at the premiere!

Caroline Brew editor Joss Ackland, the veteran British stage and screen actor who was known for starring in “White Mischief” and “Lethal Weapon 2,” died on Sunday. He was 95. “Joss was a long term client and great friend who remained lucid, erudite and mischievous to the very end, he died peacefully with his family this morning,” said his rep, Paul Pearson.

It’s not a career revival until you star in an A24 film helmed by a buzzy director decades your junior. That seems to be the new rule in Hollywood these days.Just ask Adam Sandler, who revitalized his career with a sweaty, unforgettable performance in the Safdie brothers’ Uncut Gems, or Nathan Lane, who’s become a self-described “poster boy for A24” following recent roles in Dicks: The Musical and Beau Is Afraid.Enter Nicolas Cage, whose once-flailing career has enjoyed a rebirth ever since his muted, mournful performance in the 2021 indie sleeper hit Pig.

Peter Debruge Chief Film Critic “Perhaps if people talked less, animals would talk more,” observes one of the human characters in “Charlotte’s Web,” a kiddie classic that serves as both the butt of several jokes and an inspiration for Adam Sandler’s animated “Leo,” an endearing Netflix original that strikes just the right balance between heart and fart jokes. Basing the way Leo sounds on his squeaky-scratchy, slightly guttural impression of the late Hollywood agent Bernie Brillstein, Sandler voices a crusty old iguana who’s spent three-quarters of a century — practically his entire life — trapped in an elementary school classroom.

a dismal 23% critic score on Rotten Tomatoes after 40 reviews.That’s a lower rating than some far worse, borderline unwatchable Netflix comedies such as the Jennifer Aniston/Adam Sandler torture instrument “Murder Mystery 2” (45%) and the corked bottle of pinot that was Amy Poehler’s “Wine Country” (66%). Why must the movie mafia so mercilessly pick on this one? Could it be that “Old Dads” is nothing more than a mischievous bit of fun whose naughty jokes butt heads with the increasingly scolding, schoolmarmish cultural gatekeepers? The film’s polar-opposite 88% audience score, a real flip of the bird to my colleagues on the aisle, would suggest so.
