A big night in Hockeywood got even bigger as a pair of big movie names crashed the 2025 NHL Draft. Adam Sandler and Jerry Bruckheimer announced the respective first-round picks for the Boston Bruins and Seattle Kraken tonight at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles.

Sandler was sporting the familiar Bruins jersey that his title character wears in Happy Gilmore, whose long-awaited sequel hits Netflix next month. Bruckheimer was representing the league’s newest franchise, the Seattle Kraken, of which is a part owner.

NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman introduced Sandler, who appeared on the big screen behind him. “My name is Happy Gilmore, how are you?” he said to a big cheer from the crowd. After announcing the Bruins’ selection of James Hagens, a center who played at Boston College, with the No. 7 overall pick, “Gilmore” added, “Way to go, homie!” After Hagens took the stage, Sandler did his character’s...

One cannot exaggerate how popular Leonardo DiCaprio was in the late 1990s. Not only was the handsome young actor acclaimed for his performances in "This Boy's Life" and "What's Eating Gilbert Grape?," but he was also working with interesting directors like Agnieszka Holland (on "Total Eclipse") and Sam Raimi (on "The Quick and the Dead"). He had even became a legit American heartthrob after appearing in the MTV-ready "Romeo + Juliet," a reputation that seemed to become permanent when he starred in James Cameron's 1997 film "Titanic," the then highest-grossing movie of all time.

DiCaprio was deeply beloved by teenage girls everywhere, and one couldn't walk past a magazine rack without seeing Leo's mug. He was the subject of unauthorized video profiles, news stories, and salacious teen magazine spreads. DiCaprio knew about his reputation as a sex symbol and brazenly took advantage; in a 1998 profile in New York Magazine...

XYZ Films has dropped a new trailer for Krazy House, the action-horror comedy which our own Chris Bumbray absolutely hated when it premiered at the Sundance Film Festival earlier this year.

Part ’90s sitcom, part blood-soaked, gross-out mayhem, the Krazy House trailer proudly features its offensive subject matter as a badge of pride. The films stars Nick Frost as Bernie, a religious homemaker who discovers that the Russian workers in his house are, in fact, criminals searching for loot. In order to save his wife and the rest of his studio audience-approved sitcom family, Bernie has to man up and unleash his inner beast. The film was written and directed by Steffen Haars & Flip van der Kuil and stars Nick Frost, Alicia Silverstone, Kevin Connolly, Gaite Jansen, and Walt Klink.

Krazy House feels like it’s targeting a very niche audience who might appreciate its shock humour, but that didn’t include Bumbray.

Plot: A nineties TV family finds their home invaded by Russian gangsters. The family’s useless patriarch, Bernie (Nick Frost), a devout Christian with long-suppressed psychotic tendencies, must unleash those urges to save his family.

Review: It happens every year. There’s always at least one movie at Sundance every year that tests my commitment to sitting through pretty much everything I see. This, however, was a tough one. I haven’t had this much of a difficult time with a Sundance movie since The Greasy Strangler, with it being a grating, 85-minute joke that goes on at least 80 minutes too long. It’s a slog.

Directors Steffen Haars and Flip van der Kuil are trying to make a provocative midnight movie, with it opening on a nun being violently gunned down before transitioning to a videotaped nineties sitcom. It centers around the Christian family who – natch – are Christian, with...

Mark Wahlberg has confirmed plans are underway for an 'Entourage' movie. The 40-year-old actor has reassured fans who were disappointed when the TV series - which he executive produced - ended last year that the characters, including Vincent Chase (Adrien Grenier) his friend and manager Eric Murphy (Kevin Connelly) will return to the big screen as soon as a script is ready. He said: ''That's definitely something that we're actively trying to put together. We're just waiting for [series creator] Doug Ellin to write the script Mark thinks 'Entourage' will work better on the big screen as...
