“Cocaine Bear” is one wild name with an equally wild premise to back it up. After all, it’s literally about a bear that manages to consume a ton of illegally-imported cocaine and goes on a wild rampage. If you thought the title was metaphorical, then you’d be gravely mistaken. However, a title and premise like […]

Martial arts legend Bruce Lee is getting the biopic treatment. Oscar-winner Ang Lee (“Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon”) is set to direct a film about the late actor, simply titled “Bruce Lee,” for Sony’s 3000 Pictures. What’s more, the filmmaker has actually tapped his own son, Mason Lee (“The Hangover Part II”) to star as the […]

28 years ago, it was hard to get a handle on exactly what Quentin Tarantino was up to with his first two movies. I was a freshman in college when “Reservoir Dogs” wended its way through art houses and campus theaters across the United States, and, in the mostly pre-internet era of the early ’90s, […]

This post contains spoilers for “The Fabelmans.” When I first learned that David Lynch was going to appear in Steven Spielberg‘s heavily autobiographical picture “The Fabelmans,” my mind was racing.

When the knives come out, the people head to theaters. Rian Johnson proved as much in 2019 by introducing the world to the wonderful gentleman sleuth, Benoit Blanc (Daniel Craig with a Kentucky fried southern drawl). A twisty whodunit with a star-studded cast? “Knives Out” was destined for success, but nothing like what it ultimately […]

This post contains spoilers for a scene from the upcoming film “Cocaine Bear.” Like a drug-addled black bear, the first preview of Elizabeth Banks’ “Cocaine Bear” has just been unleashed on the unsuspecting public, and the movie frankly looks like a wild ride. The red-band trailer for the Lord and Miller-produced film emphasizes the comedy […]

It’s impossible to think of a bigger cinematic madman than James Cameron. For over 13 long years, the visionary behind some of the most endurable blockbusters ever made (“Terminator 2: Judgment Day”) has been working long and hard to bring his four “Avatar” sequels to the screen. Ever since “The Way of Water” was initially […]

Rebellions are delicate things. They’re built on little more than hope and are as easily snuffed out as a spark. So, on occasion, it simply makes sense to spice things up with some shockingly course language to underline the seriousness of the moment. In other words, this ain’t your father’s “Star Wars,” folks.
