Adam Sandler floats in space and loses his mind in Spaceman’s trailer

After the teaser unveiled last month, here we get a better look at Adam Sandler in his new film soon to be available on Netflix. Sandler takes a radical departure from his comedic roles to play a heartbroken, soul-distressed astronaut in the film Spaceman.

The images of Spaceman, from director Johan Renck (Chernobyl), generate a lot of interest in this trailer, and there’s every reason to believe that Sandler will do it again, i.e. surprise us in a genre further from his comfort zone.

New murder charge for suspected Long Island serial killer

Rex Heuermann, 59, the suspected Long Island serial killer, was indicted on January 16 on a fourth murder charge for murders in Gilgo Beach, Long Island.

Rex Heuermann is now officially charged with the murder of Maureen Brainard Barnes, a 25-year-old mother of two who disappeared in 2007 and whose remains were found along an abandoned stretch of highway on Long Island, three years after her disappearance.

This is a new chapter in the sad story of the discovery of human remains near Gilgo Beach, in an investigation that has been going on for several years, when 4 victims, nicknamed the Gilgo Four, had been associated with the same killer profile, and the latter who had still not been arrested until Heuermann’s surprise arrest last July.

Getty Images

Investigative work by the police, aided by the latest technological advances, helped solve this case, but it was Heuermann’s DNA found on a pizza that established his involvement, since the DNA matched hair found on the victims.

Other murder victims in the area over the years could also be linked to the suspect.

Heuermann is still being held in jail without bail.

The judge has set a new hearing date of February 6 in the case as the Gilgo Beach community and the victims’ families await justice…

A sweeping victory in Iowa reignites Trump’s fanbase passions

Donald Trump’s resounding victory in the Iowa caucuses has solidified his position as favorite for the Republican Party nomination and sets the stage for a tough showdown between Biden and Trump over who will secure his place in the White House.

Iowa Republicans voted, and the former president’s loyal supporters were undeterred by the frigid weather or the controversies surrounding the former president, as he won a landslide victory.

Donald Trump was helped by a fragmented opposition, which lacked the unity and strength to mount a serious challenge. Former UN ambassador Nikki Haley and Florida governor Ron DeSantis were both vying to become Trump’s main challenger, but neither came out on top, with the disappointing result that DeSantis narrowly edged out Nikki Haley to take second place.

Getty images

Donald Trump’s supporters in the Republican Party don’t seem at all swayed by the many criminal charges against him; instead, they’re consumed by their worries about the economy, immigration and signal their extreme distrust of Democrats.

Getty Images

The primary is still far from over and it remains to be seen whether his opponents will be able to regain control, but the current momentum within the Republican Party should push Trump, once again, towards the Republican nomination.
