Gary Dauberman tries to frighten you with things that pop up on screen

Published

I am not a fan of the Conjuring movies. They’re the horror movies produced — and often written and directed — by James Wan. The series is loosely based on the real-life exploits of Ed and Lorraine Warren. The couple continually do battle against evil from the “other side.”By the way, the key word in the last paragraph is “loosely.”In the movies Ed and Lorraine use all kinds of psychic paraphernalia to eventually rescue families, individuals and the rest of us from fates worse than death by those that are dead.Not as dead as these movies but close.Or to put it another way, if you’ve seen one, you’ve pretty much seen them all. What changes are the locations, victims and source of evil but not much else. Annabelle Comes Home — is based on the two previous Annabelle movies. In this one the Warrens have imprisoned the demonic doll in a glass cage in their home’s haunted stuff room.While Ed and Lorraine are on a trip, the babysitter’s best friend — against dire warnings from the babysitter — gets into the locked room, opens the glass door and lets the doll loose. Annabelle then activates the assorted bad things also locked in the room. It leads to a terrifying night for the daughter, the babysitter, the friend and the babysitter’s boyfriend. ??To them it’s terrifying. For the rest of us it is snooze-inducing.When the doll’s creator, and writer of the two previous movies, and the writer and director of this one, Gary Dauberman tries to frighten you with things that pop up on screen, or with a loud sound effect or musical note, it doesn’t come close to working. As Annabelle, other horror story characters and artifacts skitter around and torment the three main characters you never worry about the kid, the babysitter, the friend or the boyfriend.Well, maybe the best friend but no one else.This is formula movie-making. Period. I’m still mind-blown that people actually pay to see these films. Fortunately, most of you won’t see it because this is a classic example of why I see movies so you don’t have to.Director: Gary Dauberman Stars: Vera Farmiga, Patrick Wilson, Mckenna Grace, Madison Iseman, Katie Sarife, Michael Cimino A classic example of why I see movies so you don’t have to. Give this one a non-frightening 1/2 on the Friday Flicks 0 to 5 scale.Gary Wolcott has been reviewing movies on radio, television and newspaper since 1990. He believes — and this is an estimate only — that he’s seen something close to 10,000 movies in his lifetime. Gary is a lifelong fan of films and catches a couple of hundred movies a year. He believes movies ought to be seen on the big screen and not on the small screen in your living room or family room. While he loves movies, he also says reviewing film can be a real sacrifice and that he sees many movies so you don’t have to.

Infantino respalda a Vinicius y exige medidas tras incidente en Lisboa

Published

El presidente de la FIFA, Gianni Infantino, expresó su respaldo a Vinícius Júnior tras el presunto incidente de racismo ocurrido durante el partido entre SL Benfica y Real Madrid CF, disputado en el Estádio da Luz.

El encuentro, correspondiente a la ida del playoff de la UEFA Champions League, fue detenido momentáneamente luego de que el árbitro François Letexier activara el protocolo antirracismo tras la denuncia del delantero brasileño, quien señaló haber recibido un supuesto insulto racista por parte de Gianluca Prestianni.

A través de un mensaje difundido en redes sociales, Infantino manifestó que le “conmocionó y entristeció” el presunto incidente y afirmó que no hay lugar para el racismo en el futbol ni en la sociedad. Señaló que es necesario que las partes correspondientes tomen medidas y que se investiguen los hechos para exigir responsabilidades.

El dirigente también reconoció la actuación del árbitro Letexier por activar el protocolo mediante el gesto oficial para detener el partido y abordar la situación en el terreno de juego. Subrayó que la FIFA, a través de su Posición Global Contra el Racismo y el Panel de Jugadores, mantiene el compromiso de proteger a futbolistas, árbitros y aficionados ante cualquier forma de discriminación.

El episodio se produjo después de que Vinícius marcara al minuto 50 y celebrara frente a la grada local. Tras ello se generó un intercambio con jugadores del Benfica y el brasileño acudió al árbitro para denunciar el presunto insulto. La transmisión captó a Prestianni cubriéndose la boca con la camiseta en ese momento, lo que incrementó la tensión. El juego se reanudó minutos después.

Por su parte, el Benfica y Prestianni negaron que se hayan producido insultos racistas. El caso ha generado reacciones en distintos sectores del entorno futbolístico, mientras se espera el resultado de las investigaciones correspondientes.
