Review: ‘5 Nights at Freddy’s’ is scary — if you like good movies

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 21:29:45 GMT

Just in time for Halloween comes “Five Nights at Freddy’s,” a video game adaptation with the potential treat of demented Chuck E. Cheese-like animatronic creatures running amok. But the trick turns out to be on us.The movie — built from developer Scott Cawthon’s video game about anthropomorphic robots killing people — poorly fits into this vehicle and the problems start with the creatures themselves.Yes, they have unsettling bright eyes and teeth. But, c’mon, one wears a bow tie, like a guest on PBS. They’re more threadbare than eerie. Yes, they stomp around like The Terminator but one is a chubby chicken with the slogan “Let’s Eat.” They look about as scary as overgrown Care Bears with a drinking problem. One is, we’re not kidding, a cupcake.Caught between PG and R, as well as lost at the crossroads of inadvertent comedy and horror, the PG-13 “Five Nights at Freddy’s” has to go down as one of the poorest ...

Warriors vs. Kings preview: Draymond Green will miss out on Domantas Sabonis rematch

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 21:29:45 GMT

SAN FRANCISCO — Draymond Green will sit out for the Warriors’ game against the Sacramento Kings on Friday night, missing the first game of a budding rivalry between the two Northern California teams. His absence denies fans a chance to see Green and Kings big Domantas Sabonis face off for the first time since Green told the world why he “lost respect” for Sabonis during last year’s playoff matchup.Green, recovering from a left ankle sprain, also missed Opening Night as he works back into game shape. Head coach Steve Kerr was hopeful Green could be back for the Warriors’ upcoming back-to-back against the Houston Rockets or New Orleans Pelicans. But they will be without Green as they navigate the first part of a tricky portion of the schedule in which they play seven of their next eight games on the road.Green’s absence weakens the Warriors’ defensively against dribble-handoff maestro Domantas Sabonis and leaves them without a voice to h...

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 21:29:45 GMT
