I'll be talking movies on "Radio From Hell" (@radiofromhell.bsky.social), Friday at 7 a.m. on X96.

Also this weekend: "Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair," a compilation of both parts of Quentin Tarantino's blood-drenched martial arts spectacle, starring Uma Thurman as a killer out for revenge.

"Five Nights at Freddy's 2" is a sequel only the die-hard fans of Steve Cawthon's jump-scare video game could love. The rest of us, enduring another tale of animatronic beasts turning evil, may succumb to boredom before the five nights are up.

"Merrily We Roll Along" is a filmed archive of the Tony-winning revival of Stephen Sondheim's musical about three friends — Jonathan Groff, Daniel Radcliffe and Lindsay Mendez, all amazing — going through ups and downs, on a reverse timeline.

I didn't get to see "Wake Up, Dead Man," the latest "Knives Out" mystery starring Daniel Craig. I hope to catch up with it soon.

"Eternity" centers on a recently dead woman (Elizabeth Olsen) who must choose to spend forever with her husband of 65 years (Miles Teller) or her first husband (Callum Turner) who died decades ago. Some good humor, but the characters are thinly drawn.

Next week: "Zootopia 2," the latest Disney animated movie.

"Rental Family" could have been one of the greats, if the director Hikari had told one story of an American actor (Brendan Fraser) in Tokyo, who finds a side gig playing roles in real people's lives. The movie has too many plot threads interweaving.
