George Clooney gives co-star Adam Sandler props for his acting skills in ‘Jay Kelly'
People in entertainment Adam Sandler George Clooney MoviesFacebookTweetLink Follow George Clooney wants everyone to know Adam Sandler is much more than a funnyman. The pair star in the forthcoming Netflix film 'Jay Kelly' which centers around 'famous movie actor Jay Kelly (Clooney) and his devoted manager Ron (Sandler) as they embark on a whirlwind and unexpectedly profound journey through Europe.' The pair talked to Vanity Fair about the project and Clooney shared his admiration for Sandler's work on the film. 'This film — more than any film Adam has done — shows what a beautiful, heartfelt, soulful actor he is,' Clooney told the publication. 'I kept telling the cast, 'Don't call him Sand Man. Don't talk to him like he's just some goofy comedian. He's actually a really beautiful, wonderful actor.'' Sandler – who has previously earned critical acclaim for his dramatic roles, including 2002's 'Punch-Drunk Love,' 2019's 'Uncut Gems,' and 'Hustle' in 2022 – echoed the feelings of appreciation. 'My character loves George's character so much, and I thought that would be fun to do and easy to do with George,' Sandler said. The actors bond grew even more during filming according to Sandler. 'He invited my family everywhere, every place in Italy and England. Our trailers were next to each other,' he said of Clooney. 'His friends and my friends all hung out, shot hoops, threw the baseball around, talked about other movies we like, other comedians that have made us laugh, his upbringing, my upbringing.' 'Jay Kelly' is in select theaters November 14 and on Netflix on December 5. The trailer was released on Tuesday.

15 Movies to Watch With Your Family to Celebrate 'Summerween'
Fact checked by Sarah Scott If Christmas in July exists, who says we have to wait until October to celebrate Halloween? While you might not be able to go trick-or-treating dressed in adorable matching costumes, you can buy your favorite candy, order an iced pumpkin spiced latte, and have a "Summerween" movie marathon for you and your kids. While we recommend saving the big thrills for October, there are tons of age-appropriate "Summerween" movies that are fun and not too scary. So, light your favorite fall-scented candle, blast the AC so it sorta feels like autumn, and enjoy our picks for family-friendly "Summerween" movies you can watch right now. Pre-K 'Summerween' Movies 'It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown' (1966) A Halloween classic, this animated film follows Charlie Brown and friends as they prepare to go trick-or-treating. Meanwhile, Linus has chosen to skip the festivities and wait in a pumpkin patch for the mythical Great Pumpkin. Snoopy also has a cute side-story in this film where he acts as a World War I flying ace. 'Pooh's Heffalump Halloween Movie' (2005) Winnie the Pooh and the rest of the crew in the 100 Acre Woods want to make Lumpy's first Halloween extra special. From adorable trick-or-treating adventures to not-so-spooky ghost stories, this pre-school friendly film is super wholesome (and has tons of good costume ideas for October!). 'Hotel Transylvania' (2012) Although not technically a Halloween film, Hotel Transylvania features tons of our favorite supernatural myths (Dracula, Frankenstein, etc;) in a way that's fun and approachable for kids to enjoy. In this animated film, Dracula's daughter falls in love with a human, despite his best attempts to scare him away from the monsters-only hotel. If your kid loves this movie, there are three other films they can watch on repeat until Real Halloween rolls around. Elementary Summerween Movies 'Nightmare Before Christmas' (1993) A classic film to watch during Halloween and Christmas (or Summerween and Christmas in July), this Tim Burton animated film follows Jack Skellington as he tries to bring the magic of Christmas to Halloween Town. Naturally, things go a bit awry for the Pumpkin King. 'Scooby-Doo! And the Witch's Ghost' (1999) Centered around Autumn Fest in a small town, Scooby and the gang come across an unexpected haunting and must solve the mystery before it ruins the celebration for everyone. While the movie doesn't focus on Halloween specifically (although there are plenty of Scooby-Doo! movies that do), it perfectly captures the fall atmosphere and includes some of our favorite Scooby-Doo! characters, The Hex Girls. 'Double Double Toil And Trouble' (1993) Ask any '90s kid, and they're sure to tell you that this Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen film is a must-watch during Halloween. The story follows the Farmer twins who realize their family might lose their house and decide to use their aunt's supernatural powers to try and solve their parents' money problems, only to have to defeat the forces of evil instead. 'The Little Vampire' (2000) Part comedy, part child-appropriate horror, this early aughts film documents the friendship of human child Tony and vampire kid Rudolph. Together, the duo must save Rudolph's family from a vampire hunter who is trying to track them down. 'Casper' (1995) When an afterlife therapist and his daughter, Kat, move into a haunted house in Maine, Casper the friendly ghost forms a friendship with Kat. Together, the two must navigate the differences in their relationship while warding off not-so-friendly spirits that also share the house. 'Monster House' (2006) In this animated horror, three friends decide to enter a haunted house to defeat the evil lurking inside. The house, which does not like children, especially not trick-or-treaters, does everything in its power to deter the kids before Halloween night. 'Spooky Buddies' (2011) One of the many spin-offs of the Air Bud and Air Buddies franchises, this Halloween film follows five puppies on a Halloween adventure to stop the evil warlock and save the town from inevitable doom. The plot sounds a lot scarier than it actually is. Tweens and Teens 'Summerween' Movies 'Halloweentown' (1998) When the three kids learn they're from a family of witches, the siblings decide to leave the human world and enter Halloweentown, where supernatural beings can live a 'normal' life. The first of several films, the story primarily focuses on Marnie, the eldest daughter, who must help her grandmother fight evil threatening to destroy Halloweentown once and for all. 'I Know What You Did Last Summer' (1997) While we're certain the 2025 version of this movie is just as good, nothing will beat the classic horror film starring Sarah Michelle Gellar, Freddie Prinze Jr., Jennifer Love Hewitt, and more '90s stars. The slasher flick follows a group of teens as they try to survive a hook-wielding killer with a grudge against them. 'Hubie Halloween' (2020) Noah Schnapp, Peyton List, and Adam Sandler star in this Halloween comedy set in Salem, Massachusetts. The plot follows Halloween Helper, Hubie, who is often bullied for his eccentricities. Despite it all, he discovers a true crime and must try to solve it to save the town from any more future horrors. 'The Addams Family' (1991) While there are many renditions of The Addams Family, including several that are age-appropriate for younger kids, "Summerween" wouldn't be the same without a rewatch of the 1991 version starring Anjelica Huston, Christina Ricci, Raul Julia, and more. The film follows the story of the creepy, kooky family as an imposter infiltrates their home in an effort to swindle the Addams fortune. 'Haunted Mansion' (2023) A new take on the famed Disney World ride, this live-action film follows a woman and her son who hire a team of ghost experts to help rid her new house of the evil that resides within it. The film stars Danny DeVito, Jared Leto, Owen Wilson, Rosario Dawson, and more A-list actors. Read the original article on Parents Solve the daily Crossword

The 25 Best Movies of 2025 (So Far)
"Hearst Magazines and Yahoo may earn commission or revenue on some items through these links." It's the middle of summer, and New York is following brutal, smelly heat wave with brutal, smelly heat wave. And the news—well, you know the news. But on the bright side… laughter! Yes, laughter. At the movies! I know, I know. It's the middle of summer, movies aren't funny in the middle of summer. Well this year… they kind of are?!? I've been out here in the dark, chortling, chuckling, giggling, guffawing, and, yes, even doing a bit of tittering and tee-hee-ing. And I've got to tell you, whether it's the simple belly laughs at the wonderfully ridiculous puns in The Naked Gun or the harder-edged cackles brought on by Eddington's too-real satire, it feels great. And this month, the laughs will keep coming thanks to what may be my favorite movie of the year, the utterly bananas Splittsville, as well as the slyly funny Lurker. There have also been some great recent flicks that are not so comical. Reid Davenport's excellent new documentary, Life After, is a good reminder of what a cruel society we live in—as is Eva Victor's Sorry, Baby (which, granted, does have a bit of humor). And 28 Years Later might've made a zombie movie fan out of me. Anyway, here are all my other favorite films of 2025 so far. I'll admit it: I did not expect the best studio comedy in years to star Liam Neeson in a reboot of the Naked Gun franchise. But here we are! And what a joy! Co-writer and director Akiva Schaffer brings the playful absurdity of Lonely Island sketches to a rather relentless send-up of policing, rich tech guys, and Hollywood clichés. The film hits all the right targets, and does so with perfect timing, but it's its silliness that made me cackle—whether it was a bit involving chili dogs or an evil Aster's latest has been a massive commercial flop and it has deeply polarized critics. It's easy to understand why: Who wants to relive the relentless, crazed din of 2020? Eddington is a tough film to sit down for, but I found it to be a surprisingly fun watch—a genre exercise that cycles through comedy, conspiracy thriller, and action. Aster captures the toxic energy of the pandemic, poking fun at the excesses and hysteria of both Left and Right. But this isn't an exercise in both-sidesism. Aster has a bigger target in mind, and that is the internet. Aster likes to say that Eddington is a movie about a data center getting built, and he's not just being flip. This is a film about how the internet broke—and continues to break—all of our brains. I've found myself thinking about it a lot since seeing it, and I imagine it will only become more powerful with time and greater distance.I'm typically not big on zombies, but it's hard to deny the power, thrill, and bite of 28 Years Later. In reteaming 23 years after 28 Days Later, Alex Garland, who wrote the script, and Danny Boyle, who directed, are each operating at peak form. From its thorough world-building, to its visceral performances, to its tense and gruesome action sequences, 28 Years is a dynamic genre film. Remarkably, it's also an incisive Brexit can probably guess the horrible thing that happened to Agnes, who is played with easy humor, awkward charm, and flashes of raw pain by the film's writer-director, Eva Victor. The film has a hard time naming the thing, but it's always there in the back of your mind — anticipating it before it happens and casting a large shadow afterwards. In this way, Sorry, Baby gets at how difficult it is to ever fully escape the cloud of trauma. But Victor's film—which is easily one of the best directorial debuts of the year—is gentle and compassionate, too, and a testament to the beauty and power of you'd asked me if disabled people—or any person—should have the right to die before I watched Life After, I would've said yes. Reid Davenport's powerful new documentary, though, forcefully challenges that belief. Davenport focuses much of the documentary's attention on the person who kickstarted the debate, Elizabeth Bouvia. In 1983, at 26 years old, Bouvia, who had cerebral palsy, sought 'the right to die.' But Davenport probes much deeper than the legal and media circus did at the time, questioning whether Bouvia actually wanted to die or wanted to die as an alternative to the inhumane care she was facing. Now, 40-plus years after Bouvia's case, care for people like Bouvia has barely improved, and Davenport makes a strong case that the right to die is being used to encourage society's most expensive citizens to end Simpson's debut feature is about a small coastal Florida town that's expecting a hurricane. But this isn't your average disaster movie. Like other films that have come out of the Omnes Collective (most recently Eephus and Christmas Eve at Miller's Point), this is a slow, atmospheric ensemble film. Simpson casts a spell in capturing the sounds and images of the calm before the storm—at once tinged with nostalgia and a sense of loneliness. If you were wondering if Tim Robinson's antics could sustain a feature-length movie, the answer is a resounding—if profoundly uncomfortable—yes. Director Andrew Deyoung's feature debut brilliantly subverts the bro-ish buddy comedies of the early aughts (even casting Paul Rudd in the new-friend role), foregrounding the fractures in modern masculinity. Beyond its incisiveness, Friendship is simply one of the funniest comedies in years. Shop NowDavid Cronenberg wrote The Shrouds after his longtime wife died of cancer in 2017, and he has acknowledged that the film was inspired by his own experience of grief. But the film dwells less on the pain of losing a loved one and more on how people channel that pain. Karsh (a Cronenberg-styled Vincent Cassel), a wealthy 'producer of industrial videos,' opens a cemetery that pioneers a technology called GraveTech. It allows loved ones to view the deceased composing in their graves through an app on their phone. Karsh claims it's comforting to watch his wife decompose. But when the cemetery is vandalized, Karsh becomes consumed by conspiracies. If all of this sounds rather macabre, it is—but it's also slyly funny and one of the truest portrayals of how grief tends to mutate. Shop NowThere's a small, slowly growing genre of Loser Men Hiking in the Woods movies. And with all due respect to Kelly Reichardt's Old Joy and India Donaldson's Good One, the men in those films don't hold a candle to Derek (Joel Potrykus) and his best friend Marty (Joshua Burge), the leads of Potrykus's raw, acidic Vulcanizadora. Here, past misdeeds beget horrific new ones. Though the film can be darkly funny, Potrykus largely treats these characters with objectivity and empathy. Shop NowYou've got to admire Ryan Coogler for absolutely going for it. His latest blockbuster follows a pair of gangster twins, Smoke and Stack (both played by Michael B. Jordan) as they prepare to host a party for the non-white community in Jim Crow Mississippi. Their young cousin Sammie (a terrific Miles Catton), a gifted singer and son of a preacher, joins to play the blues. But midway through the film—and the party—things take a dramatic turn. Coogler uses genre as racial metaphor, deploying it in a way that's both highly entertaining and smart. Shop NowOften, music documentaries emulate the style of the artist they seek to capture. Alex Ross Perry takes a different tack with his inventive portrait of the '90s indie rock band Pavement: He gives maximal effort to these slacker icons. Perry's take on the band, which he clearly loves dearly, is that it contains multitudes. He captures the various sides of Pavement by channeling a core part of the band's spirit: irony. Within the documentary, Perry stages a real musical, a fake biopic, and a pop-up museum installation. He weaves the various pieces together with a structure he says he borrowed from Dunkirk. It's an attempt to poke fun at the ways beloved artists—from Queen to Bob Dylan to Bruce Springsteen—cash in on hagiographic IP. But it also provides a funny, thoughtful study of the to The Shrouds, grief opens the door to conspiratorial searching in Courtney Stephens's micro-budget narrative debut. The film was born out of a collaboration with actor and writer Callie Hernandez, who plays Carrie, the daughter of a conspiracy-minded alternative-health advocate. When Carrie's father dies, she inherits a patent for an experimental healing device. In her search for answers about the device—and, really, about her father—she meets with various acquaintances of his (a who's who of indie filmmakers) in his small northeastern town. The film, which includes footage of Hernandez's actual late father, captures the slow, mundane pace of life following the death of a loved one, as well as the way grief begets magical Friedland's first feature, Familiar Touch, has a familiar premise: Ruth (Kathleen Chalfant), a retired cook, has dementia, and she and her family must cope as she adjusts to a new way of life. The film hits many of the beats you'd expect it to—with Ruth forgetting her son, staging minor revolts at her new senior-living facility, and also bonding with some of her caregivers. And yet Friedland's film is so gentle and well observed, with superlative performances from Chalfant and H. Jon Benjamin (playing her son), that it feels new and fresh Anderson is nothing if not consistent. His latest stars Benicio del Toro as a wealthy 1950s industrialist, Zsa-zsa Korda, whose close brush with death leads him to reconnect with his novitiate daughter and enlist her in his latest scheme. The film delivers everything you've come to expect out of Wes: impeccable compositions, clever jokes, a convoluted plot, superlative performances from an all-star cast, and a fractured family coming together. It's also, though, the most violent and religious film in Anderon's extensive oeuvre. Shop NowMany months after catching April, from director Dea Kulumbegashvili, at last year's New York Film Festival, I can still feel its weight. The film centers on Nina (Ia Sukhitashvili), an obstetrician at a hospital in rural Georgia (the country, not the state) who performs underground abortions in her off-hours. The film, which verges on the surreal at times, captures the emotional toll of such work—dark, lonely, at times this movie a bit of a mess for its first two and a half hours? Yes. Do the last 30 minutes involve Tom Cruise doing some of the most bananas amazing stunts ever captured on screen? Also yes! Eephus, the debut feature from director Carson Lund, is set on a crisp October afternoon in a small 1990s Massachusetts town. Two rec-league baseball teams are facing off for the final game at Soldier Field. A more conventional film might take one team's side or pit the players against an evil developer. But here the field is giving way to a public school, and these two teams are united against a different, more universal foe: time. As the hours slowly pass, the umpires clock out and the sun goes down. To finish the game, the players have to get resourceful. Though one team does come away victorious, I couldn't tell you which. Eephus is a movie about the little moments that make baseball—and, really, life—beautiful. Shop NowI don't think I've ever seen a character in a movie as unrelentingly angry as Marianne Jean-Baptiste's Pansy in Hard Truths. The actor, who last worked with director Mike Leigh in 1996's Secrets and Lies, snarls, seethes, and sulks throughout this brilliantly funny and affecting familial drama. Though the film alludes to Pansy having had a complicated relationship with her deceased mother, Leigh treads lightly on character backstory. We never fully find out what's going on with Pansy or how she became the person she is. But the film is so well observed that, ironically, despite how dead inside Pansy is, she is one of the most thrillingly alive humans in recent cinema. Shop NowBong Joon-ho's long-awaited follow-up to Parasite has more in common with his previous film Okja. It's an absurdist comedy about stupid, powerful people and their disregard for the natural world—and, really, everything and everyone other than themselves. Robert Pattinson stars as Mickey, a nasally, down-on-his-luck man who flees his earthly problems by becoming an Expendable on a mission to colonize a faraway planet. As an Expendable, his role entails dying and being reprinted. Complications arise, though, when he survives a near-death experience and a new Mickey is still printed. The two Mickeys vie for survival until they become united against a greater enemy. Will Mickey 17 win an Oscar? Probably not, but it's a highly enjoyable, frequently funny romp nonetheless. Shop NowProbably the horniest, most unexpected, and, yes, most French movie that will come out this year. Alain Guiraudie's Misericordia flirts with various genres—murder mystery, film noir, sex comedy, existential drama—but ultimately is too original and weird to easily categorize. It's a film that requires abandoning preconceived notions of how people should act and how movies should operate. And if you can do that? Well, you might just dig the wild ride. Shop NowRungano Nyoni's On Becoming a Guinea Fowl begins with its protagonist, Shula (Susan Chardy), driving down a quiet road in Zambia wearing a flamboyant party costume—when she comes across a dead body splayed out in the road. The body turns out to be her uncle Fred, who we soon learn abused Shula when she was a child. Shula's costume is one of the few showy things in this film. Nyoni unravels new wrinkles in the story gradually and with little satisfaction, showing how cultural norms can stand in the way of catharsis and family secrets enable generational trauma. Shop NowThis often exhilarating new documentary from Kevin Macdonald and Sam Rice-Edwards follows John Lennon and Yoko Ono through their early New York days, culminating in a benefit concert they played at Madison Square Garden in 1972. The concert was in support of the children of Willowbrook State School, which had recently been the subject of a damning television report that exposed the grim conditions to which children with disabilities were subjected. The film is light on new information about Lennon and Ono, but it's full of powerful, magnetic moments, both onstage and off. Macdonald and Rice-Edwards foreground the couple's activism and the ways it intersected with their art. Lennon, in particular, burns bright. His passion and righteousness are captivating and contagious. More than 50 years later, Lennon and Ono's political battles are still being fought—and Lennon's enthusiasm still feels capable of igniting a revolution. Shop NowA dozen years after announcing a short-lived retirement, Stephen Soderbergh has emerged as America's most prolific filmmaker. His first of two films this year is a ghost story predicated on a formal conceit: The camera takes the perspective of the ghost. The specter dwells in a beautiful suburban home that a family of four has just moved into. And though there is some suspense around the ghost's identity and aims, the draw of the movie is the family drama. Lucy Liu and Chris Sullivan play the parents of two frequently bickering high-school-aged teenagers, Chloe (Callina Liang) and Tyler (Eddy Maday). And the family dynamics—the alliances, sources of conflict, and secrets—are vivid and intriguing. Each actor is smartly cast and gives a strong performance. I'm still not sure I liked the dramatic ending and climactic reveal, but the film's clever conceit and rich characters make Presence a worthwhile watch. Shop NowOne of several intertwined plots in director Matthew Rankin's Universal Language involves a Winnipeg tour guide (Pirouz Nemati) who takes a rare group of visitors to some of the city's cultural landmarks. This Winnipeg is an invention of Rankin and his cowriters (Nemati and Ila Firouzabadi), and it is one that is full of brown and beige brutalist buildings, roaming turkeys, and a Persian-speaking populace. It's also one where the city's landmarks are amusingly mundane. My favorite was the UNESCO-designated site where someone left a briefcase at a bus stop and no one touched it. It's 'a monument to absolute inter-human solidarity, even at its most basic and banal,' the tour guide explains. You could say the same for the film. Throughout Universal Language, Rankin and his collaborators are imaginative, playful, and quite witty, but the overarching goal of their project is to testify to humanity's potential for care and exuberance, even in a bleak, beige world. Shop NowBefore seeing Warfare, I was warned that it is loud. Still, I wasn't prepared for just how loud—body shaking—this thing would be. Fresh off his speculative American war film, Civil War, Alex Garland teamed up with Ray Mendoza (an Iraq-war vet and advisor on Civil War) to re-create a brutal battle that Mendoza's platoon experienced in Ramadi in 2006. The film is drawn exclusively from the memories of Mendoza and his platoon, and it plays out over the course of a day. Ultimately, the film expresses the trauma of war as much as a film is capable of doing—thanks to the sound, yes, but also the subtly pathos-filled performances. It's an incredibly intense watch and one that foregrounds the true horror of war. Shop Now This year, we will have a new president, a new total lunar eclipse, and a new viral phrase that supplants 'brat.' I won't pretend I'm capable of predicting much else—well, except for this: We're about to have an incredible year in cinema. After a spotty year for noteworthy releases, the 2025 slate is jam-packed. There are steamy, star-studded romances; there are franchise finales (goodbye, Mission Impossible!); and there will even be one talking hippo. Most excitingly, there are an inordinate number of movies coming from the world's greatest filmmakers. And not just that: Many of said films sound as though they'll be high points even within storied careers. Guillermo Del Toro, for instance, is finally taking a swing at a story he's been dreaming about for decades; Kelly Reichardt is making a heist movie with Josh O'Connor; Paul Thomas Anderson is making his biggest film yet. I could go on. Instead, though, why not just read through this list of 51 films we're excited for in 2025.
