New in Theaters: “Five Nights at Freddy’s 2” and “Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair”

1.  “Five Nights at Freddy’s 2”  (PG-13)  Trailer

This movie takes place a year after the first film, where we learned that the animatronic mascots were all possessed by the souls of murdered children.  In this one, we’re introduced to a major antagonist from the video games called The Marionette after Josh Hutherson’s little sister answers a call for help and attempts to reunite with her animatronic friends.

 

 

2.  “Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair”  (R)  Trailer

Quentin Tarantino’s extended cut merges Volumes 1 and 2, and adds another 25 minutes of material for a total runtime of nearly five hours.  (281 minutes) The movie originally came out over 20 years ago, in 2003 and 2004.

It stars Uma Thurman as “The Bride”, a woman seeking revenge for being attacked on her wedding day and losing her unborn child. Keith Carradine is Bill, Michael Madsen is his brother, and Bill’s team of femme fatale assassins include Lucy Liu, Vivica A. Fox, and Daryl Hannah.
