'Blended' doesn't add anything new to Adam Sandler-Drew Barrymore recipe
"Blended," the new movie starring Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore, might have been more aptly named "Recycled."
This story about two single parents who fall in love hearkens back to "With Six You Get Eggroll," "Yours, Mine and Ours" and "The Brady Bunch."
In this case, Sandler and Barrymore meet on a blind date and discover it's hate at first sight.
But as luck would have it, they meet again when each separately books a family vacation at a luxurious African resort.
The rest of the film employs the usual Sandler formula of raunchy gags, childish humor and a few genuinely sweet moments — moments that usually are nullified in short order by a crass joke.
There's another obvious pattern: It's the third time Sandler and Barrymore have been co-stars.
Their first film together, 1998's "The Wedding Singer," was a hilarious tale of love gone wrong set in the '80s.
The second, "50 First Dates," was forgettable — fittingly so, as Barrymore played a woman with recurring amnesia.
Barrymore is the best part of Sandler's formula. She lends humanity and warmth to the most outlandish script, yet she's not afraid to act silly.
Giving in to a bit of goofiness proves to be part of her charm.
And the unlikely pair also have genuine chemistry that doesn't feel rehashed.
In a script that casts males as sex fiends, clueless or unfaithful, the most valuable players in "Blended" prove to be the women.
Barrymore's sarcastic pal (Wendi McLendon-Covey) is a saucy counterpoint to the engaging actresses playing Sandler's daughters (Bella Thorne, Alyvia Alyn Lind and Emma Fuhrmann).
The girls are particularly poignant as kids struggling to recover from their mother's death and their father's inability to understand their needs.
"Blended's" feel-good ending (no spoiler alert needed) is filled with cheese, but like the rest of the movie, that's not much of a surprise.

In a game with 14 lead changes in the first 20 minutes, it would be the final one in the final 12 minutes which would give Southern Crescent Tech the tough road win over Georgia Northwestern, 76-64, Saturday.
Up just a single point at the intermission - 32-31 - Georgia Northwestern could not find their rhythm against the visiting Tigers in the second stanza. Southern Crescent guard Demarrius Tyler would clean the road nets for 22 points and rack up five steals in their win.
The first game of region play in the 2012-13 season would see the long-awaited return of freshman guard Fernando Lemus, Jr. (Model). After a year-long rehab to treat torn ligaments in both knees, Lemus, Jr. would play lights out to start the game going three-for-three from long-range, dropping 11 points in just 12 minutes of first-half action.
The tell-tale sign for Georgia Northwestern Men's Head Basketball Coach David Stephenson was found at the backboards. The visiting Tigers would clean the road glass for 50 rebounds to Georgia Northwestern's 32 boards in the loss.
Another category of focus for the Cats (5-9, 0-1) came at the foul line. Georgia Northwestern shot an uncharacteristic eighty-percent from the free-throw line in their last game before Christmas break. However, the scoreboard went cold when the Cats hit the charity stripe in the region opener as they would connect on a dismal 41-percent (13-of-31) from the foul line in the loss.
The Bobcats will play a non-region game versus visiting NCAA Division II newcomer Lee University Tuesday night at the Rossville Athletic Complex. NJCAA Region XVII play will continue next Saturday night on the road as the Cats and Lady Cats head to Warner-Robins, Ga., to take on Middle Georgia Tech.
Men's Box Score
Georgia Northwestern (76) - Cotton 3, Jackson, Ivester 6, Fernando Lemus, Jr., 11, Todd 8, Alex Miller 10, Robinson, Tavish Reynolds 11, Olsen 5, Johnson, Dempsey 2.
Southern Crescent (64) - Noel, Critten 8, Demarrius Tyler 22, Stock, James Dewitt 15, Tarver 2, Gilbert 4, Daniels 2, Ignacio Hood 13, Cason 2, Miller 6.
Halftime Score: 32-31, Georgia Northwestern.
The NJCAA Region XVII defending champion Lady Cats attacked early and often in Georgia Northwestern's region opener Saturday versus Southern Crescent (GA). Up by as many as 25 in the first half, the Lady Cats would roar in their first region game of the title defense cruising past the Lady Tigers, 77-52.
Freshman Lady Cat Sierra Smith (Armuchee) would lead the way with 14 points, including four three-pointers in the region opener. Freshman forward Odessa Person (Lineville, AL) scored only eight points, but cleaned the home glass for 17 rebounds.
Southern Crescent sharpshooter LaKaisha Anderson led all Lady Tiger scorers with 22 points in their road loss.
Lady Cats Alyssa Nichelson (Creekview) and Kiarra Parks (Pepperell) dropped in 13 and 12 points, respectively. Georgia Northwestern jumped out to the early lead in the first half with 83-percent shooting from the charity stripe and connected from three-point land at a 44-percent click.
The Lady Cats (7-7, 1-0) will play a non-region game at Cleveland State (TN) Tuesday night. N JCAA Region XVII play will continue next Saturday night on the road as the Cats and Lady Cats head to Warner-Robins, Georgia to take on Middle Georgia Tech.
Georgia Northwestern is a member of the NJCAA Region XVII and a unit of the Technical College System of Georgia.
Women's Box Score
Georgia Northwestern (77) - Kiarra Parks 12, Jones 8, Cole 5, Alyssa Nichelson 13, Flaherty, Sierra Smith 14, Price 9, Mostella 8, Person 8.

Gastrological Forecast
By Gwyneth Doland
It's a texture thing. Sometimes yogurt makes me gag—not enough texture. And certain mangoes have that furry quality that makes my tongue feel rubbed the wrong way. I love the rough, graininess of jicama, but not the stringy thing about celery. The sliminess of okra chunks in gumbo: good. The slippery sticky film of meat that's been in the fridge too long: bad. Papaya and avocado are both silky smooth, but just firm enough to be sexy, not icky. The chewy crust of Sage Bakehouse's paisano loaf makes me want every sandwich to be on that bread. And I could eat a heap of deep fried chicken skins; there's something so decadent about the combination of crispy, crunchy top and soft, pale skin underneath. The lacy edges of an egg cooked in bacon grease are always divine, especially when swabbed with a little runny yolk. The crisp/creamy thing is a killer, too, like cottage fries dipped in queso, Lay's Classic chips in green chile dip, chicken-fried steak smothered in gravy. Oooh! Serve me flaccid pasta, crunchy risotto, too-fried refried beans or pasty potatoes and you're fired. Make my bacon just right—crispy but not so stiff it shatters, still tender but not soggy—and I'll love you forever. It's a texture thing.

A PROPOSAL to build a touring caravan site on open fields close to a South Lakeland town has been scuppered by a Government-appointed planning inspector.
He upheld a decision by South Lakeland District Council to refuse permission to create a park for 20 touring caravans on open land adjacent to the A65, opposite Kendal Road, at Kirkby Lonsdale.
Inspector Jim Metcalfe ruled that, because of its location, and the visual impact of the site, the caravans and 'related paraphernalia - timber clad toilet block, recycling compound, awnings and cars - would have a significant detrimental effect on the character and appearance of the landscape on the approach to the town.
- Acoustic club organises folk weekend
- Second award for Cumbrian building society
- Fundraiser to scale all of Lake District's mountains and hills for Cancer Research
- Fundraiser to scale all of Lake District's mountains and hills for Cancer Research
"The built-up area of Kirkby Lonsdale has well- defined limits and the caravan site would be in a visually-sensitive location, in the open countryside that provides an attractive rural setting for an attractive market town," says Mr Metcalfe's report.
"The caravan park would be an isolated development that would be seen as forming a spread of peripheral activity where, at present, there is a sharp edge to the town."

Comic Sans Gets A Makeover; Its Creator Is Not Impressed
Photo: Courtesy of ComicNeue.com.
Poor Comic Sans. The font of choice for every lemonade stand and school PowerPoint presentation, it has the dubious honor of being one of the world's most famous typefaces and its most despised.
There is an online community committed to its abolishment. Filmmaker Errol Morris did an informal study that suggested that people are less likely to believe information when it's presented in Comic Sans. And, reviled as it is, the font's been appropriated by 'net geeks and humorists for its decided un-hipness. It's the normcore of typeface.
Now, designer Craig Rozynski has given the childlike 'face a little bit of an upgrade with a font called Comic Neue. Its ascenders and descenders are a little more rigid, a little less crude than its predecessor. It's slimmer overall, with a lightness that iPhone users will recognize from the Helvetica Neue of iOS 7.
It is not, however, officially related to the original Comic Sans MS, which was designed by Vincent Connare and released in 1994. On Twitter yesterday, Connare succinctly expressed his opinion of Comic Neue: "It's shite."
Be that as it may, it's available for a free download here. (Hyperallergic)

Jennifer Lopez Reportedly Earns Millions Performing for 'World's Worst Thugs'
Human Rights Foundation claimed that Jennifer Lopez had made at least $10 million by performing for "some of the world's worst thugs". The report came a month after Lopez serenaded "Happy Birthday" to controversial president of Turkmenistan, Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedow.
Lopez later apologized for participating at the lavish party, saying that she was unaware of the country's oppressive rulings. "Had there been knowledge of human rights issues any kind, Jennifer would not have attended," Lopez's rep said in a statement.
HRF President Thor Halvorssen has another opinion about Lopez's lack-of-knowledge explanation. "What those covering this story have missed is that J.Lo and her management have misled her fans and the public," he said in a statement posted on the organization's website.
"J.Lo has repeatedly mingled with and entertained some of the world's worst thugs and their cronies. The 'Jenny-from-the-block-who-doesn't-Google' clarification may be credible in one instance, but it beggars belief in light of a pattern of repeated behavior," Halvorsen continued. "This is not about ignorance, it's about greed."
HRF then listed several events that involved Lopez and some "crooks and dictators from Eastern Europe and Russia." In 2011, for example, Lopez reportedly earned $1 million from corrupt Uzbek industrialist Azam Aslanov for performing at his son's wedding. In November 2012, Lopez was paid $2 million for singing "Happy Birthday" to Alexander Yolkin, a Russian bureaucrat who has been accused of corruption.
"The collective outrage that now follows Lopez's behavior is a categorical signal that it is not right to enjoy a free society, and then seek to profit from those who have acquired their riches from cronyism and the wholesale negation of human rights," Halvorssen said again.
"Performers are frequently blinded by greed and they willfully sidestep reality and become part of the public relations machinery of the world's worst people. They should be disqualified from having any moral standing to opine about matters involving human rights or business ethics," he added.

Sony: PS4 to focus on new playing options rather than beefed-up specPocket-lint
An unnamed Sony Computer Entertainment executive has revealed that the forthcoming next-generation PlayStation - most often dubbed PS4 - won't be focused around high-end specifications and maxed-out hardware, rather new playing options.
The new console is expected to be unveiled during the manufacturer's 20 February New York City press event and that has led to many a speculative stab in the dark as to what it will contain. We've previously heard rumours that it will sport an eight-core AMD processor, and touchscreen controller to replace the traditional DualShocks, but SCE would rather we talk about how it will be the entertainment hub of the home - as Pocket-lint predicts in the latest podcast.
Reported by Japanese business news publisher Nikkei, the new console will open up "new styles of play". There is also talk of its connecting and sharing with mobile devices more than the current PlayStation 3.
It will also - based on another rumour that emerged yesterday - feature Gaikai cloud gaming, the service Sony acquired last summer for $380 million.
Pocket-lint will be at the launch of the "future of PlayStation" on 20 February, so will report live on the exciting news that SCE will have to share.
Will the PlayStation 4 be the console you're looking for? Or will you hang on for something else? Let us know in the comments below...

february 11-20, 2017 | mccormick place
The Midwest Automotive Media Association's annual Fall Rally took place earlier this week at the impressive Autobahn Country Club just outside Joliet, Illinois. Attending were more than 50 Midwest-based automotive scribes and more than 70 brand-new vehicles supported by public relations and engineering personnel.
I have attended MAMA rallys and track events since the early 1990s and, even though I drive more than 75 new vehicles a year, I always come away with a few surprises. This year was no exception. Of course, the new Corvette Stingray was amazing, the SRT Viper unabashedly brazen, the Nissan GT-R mind warping. But that was expected. What wasn't expected were coil springs on the Ram 2500 HD pickup, the locomotive-like power of the Audi A6 TDI and technological wizardly of the new Infiniti Q50.
Still, a few vehicles really stood out as exceptions to the rule, "the more cars change the more they are the same."
2014 Cadillac CTS - After just a few minutes behind the wheel it's clear Caddy's new standard bearer is a no-excuses competitor to the BMW 5-Series and Mercedes-Benz E-Class. It still packs the "take no prisoners" attitude of the previous CTS, but adds in considerable dollops of luxury, refinement and technology.
The '14 model that is on sale at Cadillac dealerships right now is five inches longer, one inch lower and 250 pounds lighter than the car it replaces. It comes with one of three engines. Standard is a turbocharged 2.0-liter four that makes 272 horsepower. Those wanting a little more pep can opt for the 321-horsepower 3.6-liter V6. Topping the line is an asphalt-tearing twin turbo V6 that makes a whopping 420 horsepower and a stump-pulling 430 pound-feet of torque. While the 2.0 and normally-aspirated V6 are available with rear- or all-wheel drive, the rockin' twin turbo engine comes only with rear drive.
Exterior and interior styling is all-new. Still channeling Cadillac's art-and-science mantra, the exterior features extensive use of LED lighting and sharp creases and curves. Inside, the sculpted interior coddles passengers with soft-touch surfaces, leather and brushed aluminum. Technology was wasn't overlooked either. Safety features include lane-departure warning, front-and-rear park assist, adaptive cruise control, auto braking, brake warning and parallel-park assist. Cadillac's Cue infotainment system comes along for the ride as well.
Styling aside, the new CTS shines most on the road. The suspension is so refined, the steering so natural and direct and the braking so very true that you'd have trouble finding something to complain about. And that power, oh, the power, the twin turbo V6 is outright bad when you mash your right foot to the floor.
If it sounds like I am gushing, I am - and you'll have to excuse me. The new CTS is truly a world-class automobile that deserves a place on any midsize luxury shopping list. Anyone who tells you different isn't being honest.
2014 Fiat 500L - And now for something completely different, the Fiat 500L. Despite sharing name, similar styling and powertrain, the 500L does not ride the same chassis as the diminutive 500. If you thought the L was simply a four-door 500 (as did I) you'd be completely surprised by the size and stature of the 500L (as was I).
The L is two feet longer, six inches taller, four inches wider and 700 pounds heavier than the 500. Power comes from the same 160-horsepower 1.4-liter turbo that is offered 500 Turbo. It mates to either a six-speed manual or six-speed automatic and drives the front wheels. Four models are offered: Pop, Easy, Trekking and Lounge with prices starting at $19,100 and ranging to $24,195.
Behind the wheel, you're immediately impressed with the commanding view of the road from the elevated driving position and airy greenhouse. The chair-like front seats offer good comfort and support. More importantly there is more leg room and plenty of head room. The rear seat could almost be called roomy. There's ample leg room for large adults and width allows three-abreast seating.
On the road, the 500L drives much like a compact crossover. There's some bumping and bouncing from the suspension, but overall the ride is composed and secure. The engine provides adequate power and the transmission does a decent job of smoothing shift shock.
The 500L compares favorably to the MINI Countryman and Nissan Versa Note while still maintaining its Italian flair. If you were tempted by the 500, but felt it was just too small, the 500L might be just right.
2014 Volkswagen Beetle GSR - Volkswagen took the wraps off of the yellow-and-black Beetle GRS this past February at the 2014 Chicago Auto Show. It paid homage to a special edition Beetle called Gelb-Schwarzer Renner (yellow and black racer) that was introduced back in 1972. Today's GSR is on sale right now and is the most powerful and expensive model in the Beetle lineup.
Aping the original, the latest Beetle GSR dons a yellow and black paint scheme that carries over into the interior. Buyers find black leather trim on the seats and handbrake lever, which is contrasted by yellow stitching. Price starts at $29,900.
Power comes from a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine that cranks out 210 horsepower and 207 pound-feet of torque. Transmission choices include a six-speed manual or six-speed dual-clutch automatic. All power goes through the front wheels. Volkswagen claims a 0-60 mph time of 6.6 seconds and electronically limited top speed of 130 mph.
Other features include 19-inch aluminum wheels, special gauges providing readouts for the clock, stopwatch and turbo boost pressure, sunroof, Fender audio system, xenon headlights, Bluetooth and push-button start. A steering-wheel-mounted badge is marked with the special-edition number. The car will also wear the Beetle's sporty R-Line bumper package and gets a unique rear spoiler.
Though the Beetle GRS's attention-grabbing exterior might attract buyers, the car's on-road performance hooks them. The engine has plenty of punch, but more importantly is refined and willing to rev. The DSG automatic offers the best of both worlds - smooth automatic operation and slick-shifting steering-wheel-mounted gear paddles that snick off gear changes with track-like precision. The suspension does a decent job of masking front-drive torque steer, but still provides a touch of that trademark VW inside-tire lift that makes it so much fun to drive. And that's the key, the GSR is a car that you can have fun in without putting your life in jeopardy. Think of it as a grown-up go kart with leather and a killer sound system.
