Movie review: Ghostface takes Manhattan in ‘Scream VI’

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 11:33:07 GMT

“Scream” movies are like pizza — when they’re good, they’re great, and even when they’re not as good, they’re still satisfying. Thankfully, “Scream VI” is a tasty slice. Even though with each new installment, the “Scream” franchise creeps closer and closer to the fictional in-movie “Stab” franchise that these films are ostensibly skewering, writers James Vanderbilt and Guy Busick keep the blade sharp, while directors Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett bring a brawny, bruising and bloody style to this “requel sequel.”This is the second “Scream” movie not directed by Wes Craven (“Ready or Not” directors Bettinelli-Olpin and Gillett took over with the previous “legasequel”), and the first without franchise star Neve Campbell as Sydney Prescott. While it’s a shame that Campbell didn’t return due to an inadequate salary offer, it was time to let Sydney ride off into the sunset, to release her from Ghostface-chasing duty. There’s a new “Scream” queen in town — Melissa Barrera — and s...

Michael Porter Jr. ejected, Nikola Jokic’s triple-double streak broken in loss to Spurs

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 11:33:07 GMT

After Michael Porter Jr. put Zach Collins on a poster, the Nuggets competed like the Spurs had already been knocked out.Instead, San Antonio stunned the visiting Nuggets on Friday night, dropping them 128-120, for the Spurs’ 17th victory of the season. For the first time all season, a Nikola Jokic triple-double didn’t equate to a win.Jokic finished with 37 points, 11 rebounds and 11 assists for his 26th triple-double of the season, but San Antonio’s bench obliterated Denver’s second unit, and the Spurs owned the Nuggets on the glass, 50-33.As usually happens, the more physical team won. Even though Porter’s emphatic finish over Collins (and the subsequent skirmish that led to both ejections) showed some fight, the Nuggets were underwhelming in their urgency. Now 46-21, they’ll head to Denver carrying a two-game losing streak and a date with Brooklyn on Sunday.Here’s what mattered vs. the Spurs.The record is his: Following Jamal Murray’s frustrating night against the Bulls on Wednesd...

Call it the Corbin Garver Game.With Air Academy on the ropes early in the first half of the Class 5A Final 4 against Frederick, Garver took over. He went on a scoring spree to give the Kadets the lead at half with 15 straight second-quarter points en route to a game-high 27.“I had a terrible game last game, and I had something to prove that I wasn’t the player I showed in the Great 8,” Garver said. “I was bad from the field (with a season-low eight points on 3-of-13 shooting), and I wasn’t mentally locked in. But this game, I knew it was going to be different. I brought it.”The Kadets had three other players score in double-digits to surge into Saturday’s title game at the Denver Coliseum. Air Academy is seeking its third state championship to add to a Class 4A title in 2015 and 3A crown in 1989.
