1 Hour 35 minutes, Rated R for Bear Cubs eating Ray Liotta’s intestines. I am wasted on Cocaine Bear, and Cocaine Bear is wasted on me. It’s like asking a Michelin chef to prepare you a Whopper with cheese. There’s only one criteria for watching this film: Do you want to see a CGI bear…

“Creed III” – Wobbly, but still standing at the end. I was fully expecting Creed III to be another forgettable movie, especially when I learned Creed III is Michael B. Jordan’s directing debut. To this point in Jordan’s career, I do not understand the praise that he gets. His performances range from angry to why-is-he-still-angry.…

Snakes on a train. Didn’t they do this, already? Oh, no, wait, that was on a plain. Snakes ON A PLAIN. This one is on a train. Yes, okay. Well, Brad Pitt is in it. That’s good, isn’t it? If you like him. You know, as an actor. I must admit that I don’t know…

Yes, I willingly devoted two hours of my life to a film starring Jennifer Lopez and that guy that plays that one soldier in the Transformers movies (Josh Duhamel). Yes, I knowingly watched a movie that Lionsgate…

Faye (Dale Dickey) lives alone in a trailer currently parked at a campsite overlooking a view so gorgeous it’s hard to believe it is real and not a matte painting of the type employed as background in old Hollywood westerns. She lives simply, always finding the perfect song for the moment on her old transistor…

When I was growing up in the UK, Lionel Richie’s Hello hit number one for six weeks. In its accompanying video our mustachioed singer perves on a pretty blind girl, if not stalks her. Oh, and to make things just that bit iffier, he’s her drama teacher. “I’ve been alone with you inside my mind,”…
