Five Nights at Freddy’s 2 review – inept game-based horror is one of the year’s worst

-
The box office smash of Halloween 2023 gets a shoddily made follow-up written carelessly and devoid of an actual ending The ghost-possessed family-restaurant animatronics of the Five Nights at Freddy ’s movies lumber around with such heavy-footed gaucherie that it’s hard to figure out how they’re physically able to move from place to place as quickly as they’d need to for a proper killing spree. In what could be mistaken for a case of form following function, Five Nights at Freddy’s 2 moves the exact same way. It’s so ostentatiously awkward that it constantly draws attention to its inept imitations of actions that other movies, even bad ones, intuitively understand – like making transitions between scenes or locations. For example, when faced with the need to isolate a mean science teacher (Wayne Knight) so that he can be vengefully murdered by one of the aforementioned animatronics, Five Nights at Freddy’s 2 bafflingly cuts to him walking down a school hallway (during a science fair...

Johnny Depp plays a gig with Jeff Beck 2 weeks after Amber Heard wins in court

-
This Sunday, 59-year-old Johnny Depp performed on the same stage with his regular musical partner Jeff Beck. The concert took place as part of the Helsinki Blues Festival. Apparently, Johnny has moved on from lengthy litigation with his ex-wife and is ready to move on - to perform and take on new roles in the cinema. "The trial was necessary, but he's happy it's over," an insider said of the Pirates of the Caribbean actor. "While he is relieved by the jury's verdict, he does not gloat about it." On June 9, Depp and Beck announced the imminent release of a new album called 18. The release is scheduled for July 15. "I'm honored to play and write music with Jeff, one of the real greats and who I now have the honor to call my brother," said the actor. The duo also released the official music video for their first single from the new album titled This is a Song for Miss Hedy Lamarr.   "I haven't had another creative partner like him in ages," Beck said of Depp in a press release. "He was the main force on this album. I just hope people take him seriously as a musician because it's hard for some people to accept that Johnny Depp can play rock and roll. Recall that earlier this month, Depp won all three defamation suits in his case against Amber Heard because of her 2018 article alleging that she was a victim of domestic violence. The jury awarded Depp $15 million in damages, but Amber will only pay $10.35 million due to a Virginia law limiting punitive damages. In addition, a seven-member jury awarded Heard $2 million in damages for her counterclaims against Depp. "Now he doesn't even talk about the trial," the source adds. "He filled a lawsuit because he felt it was necessary. However, he moves on. Now Johnny can get back to doing what he likes to do. He enjoys performing and has a busy summer ahead of him. He also looks forward to continuing the work. He just wants his career back. He loves to act."

The Miracle Club review – Maggie Smith can’t save this rocky road trip to Lourdes

-
Laura Linney is upstaged by older co-stars Smith and Kathy Bates in this sentimental tale about a group of Dublin women who go on a spiritual journey together Who’s up for a golden-hued heartwarmer set in 60s Ireland starring Kathy Bates and Maggie Smith about women with secret fears and dreams going on a church trip to Lourdes and finally finding the real miracle is their new compassion for each other? The answer to this question could well have been … me. I have a liking for a gentle tale and there is nothing necessarily wrong with, just occasionally, showing Ireland and the church of this period with something other than outrage and horror. But The Miracle Club does not at any time, to use a discredited metaphor, throw away its crutches and walk. And it’s painful to note that this is largely because of the way film can’t convincingly use that estimable actor Laura Linney in a central role. She is upstaged by the older, fruitier performances and doesn’t hold her own with a more seri...
