    Cocaine Bear

    Ladies and gentlemen, I’ve got a special review for you today in the name of — Cocaine Bear, by director Elizabeth Banks.   Inspired by a 1985 true story of a 500-pound black bear that consumed a significant amount of cocaine and embarks on a drug-fueled rampage, an eccentric gathering of cops, criminals, tourists, and teenagers assemble in a Georgia forest.   Right off the bat, I’m going, to be frank with you. Cocaine Bear is a bloody mess, I mean, this film is so convoluted with unnecessary storylines and characters but I figured because of the time that the film is taking place in that there’s no reason to…

    Dave Bautista delivers his most captivating rendition yet, in the thrilling horror – Knock at the Cabin by legendary director M. Night Shyamalan. Who adapted Knock At The Cabin from a 2018 horror novel The Cabin at the End of the World by Paul Tremblay. For those that don’t know who M. Night Shyamalan is, he is the man responsible for films that make not only the hair on your arms raise out of fear but also give you insight into the psychological aspect of a character and their thought process. Some of my favorite movies made by M. Night Shyamalan would be Split made in 2016 featuring James McAvoy…

Released on the 18th of November 2022 by distributor Searchlight Pictures, the film features a small yet equally talented cast in the likes of Ralph Fiennes, Anya Taylor-Joy, and Nicolas Hoult for starters. We follow the events of a young couple traveling…

    Director Jordan Peele strikes again with another phenomenal movie, challenging the very way we think and feel about the film industry, animal cruelty, and diversity in – NOPE.   Jordan Peele has quickly become one of my favorite movie directors since he released “Get Out” and “US” which both took the film industry by storm, first in 2017 and 2019.   And in this masterpiece, nothing less but greatness should be expected from this young director.   We follow the events of siblings running a horse ranch after the sudden passing of their father Otis Haywood played by Keith David.   One night whilst looking up at the skies of…

    Jujutsu Kaisen 0

    After waiting for what felt like a year, I finally got the chance to watch the highly rated movie – Jujutsu Kaisen 0, by director Sunghoo Park.   As the title of the movie explains, Jujutsu Kaisen 0 begins probably a year or so before the animation was released, so our favorite pink-haired protagonist, Itadori Yuji is nowhere to be found in this film.   However, we are instead given a new protagonist in Yuta Okkotsu. A young boy who is cursed with the spirit of Rika Orimoto, who follows him everywhere and if provoked, will gladly annihilate anyone and anything that dares to harm Yuta. But since Yuta Okkotsu…
