Movie Breakdown: Cocaine Bear

Pre-Screening Stance: I’m really not sure I have a whole lot of faith in Cocaine Bear being anything more than a meme movie that’ll come and go without much of an impact, but 2023 has...

Movie Breakdown: Magic Mike’s Last Dance

Pre-Screening Stance: Where Magic Mike is a mostly solid film, Magic Mike XXL is a total delight. I’d really like Magic Mike’s Last Dance to be more like the latter, but with it being back...

Pre-Screening Stance: While I’m certainly a bit baffled as to why there’s need to be yet another take on Pinocchio, I’m also excited for the film because it’s from Guillermo del Toro. If we’re lucky,...

Movie Breakdown: Violent Night

Pre-Screening Stance: David Harbour as the actual Santa Claus in a Die Hard-like situation? How weird but also fitting. Anyhow, yes, sign me up right away. Post-Screening Ramble: Violent Night is one of those films...
