Share: A massive American black bear accidentally takes an overdosing wash in a cocaine shower, eating kilos upon kilos of the powdery white substance, and goes on the best coke-fueled rampage you’ve ever seen. And the best part is, this actually happened. Elizabeth Banks’ ridiculous comedy “Cocaine Bear” is a comically retro film that follows the 1985 story of a group of people in Georgia trying to kill, and most of the time escape, a 500-pound American female black bear who unintentionally ate a significant …

‘Knock at the Cabin’ almost knocks it out of the park
Share: “Knock at the Cabin” is a rare sight for filmmaker M. Night Shyamalan, where the movie manages to impress and disappoint. At best, he reaches the early highs of his career marked by blockbusters such as “The Sixth Sense” and “Signs.” At worst, his failure to stick the landing harkens back to the disaster of “The Last Airbender.” “Knock at the Cabin” falls under this narrow margin, but not without striving for brilliance. Wen and her two dads, Eric and Andrew, drive to a …
And the award for most boring television broadcast goes to…
Share: For an industry whose main priority is making entertainment that attracts the largest audience, Hollywood excels in creating comatose-inducing award shows commemorating the quintessential “best” movies and TV shows.

To their credit, ratings only fell by about 9% compared to …
‘M3GAN’ is killer, with minimal buffering

Built to be the last toy any kid will ever need, M3GAN becomes just that and more when tragedy …

Ditching the New England estate and familial setting, “Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery” moves detective Benoit Blanc to a Grecian island owned by tech billionaire Miles Bron.

‘Don’t Worry Darling’ fails to serve suspense to its viewers
Share: While watching ‘Don’t Worry Darling’ there were a lot of questions. In fact, there are only questions. The unnecessarily long movie takes place in an experimental neighborhood designed to impersonate a perfect and safe community. Main characters Alice and Jack Chamber, played by Florence Pugh and Harry Styles respectively, live an ongoing honeymoon life with no kids and friends who act similarly. What seemed like a tired version of the Disney Plus series, Wanda Vision, takes a turn into becoming a semi-thriller when Alice …
