Movie Review: Shazam! Fury of the Gods (2023)

3/5 Reviewed March 23, 2023 The sequel to the surprisingly decent Shazam film from a few years ago falls a bit flatter as DC, The Rock, and covid caused production issues and script changes that didn’t always make for a cohesive film.

Movie Review: Cocaine Bear (2023)

3.75/5 Reviewed March 3, 2023 Simple premise: horror/comedy featuring a bear ingesting cocaine and going on a murderous rampage in a mountainous national park, during the 80s. They deliver.
