Cocaine Bear (2023)
Cocaine Bear-ly Watchable
Worst film I've seen this year. Not funny, not scary. Just stupid. The cast is good, the bear is great, the photography is excellent. But the script and directing are terrible. It was made for $35 million it would have been better if it was made for $350,000. I'm spending more energy writing this review then they spent making the movie. It was completely one note. I bet "Cocaine Shark" blows it out of the water. They want me to write a longer review. I feel like I am already committed so I guess I keep writing. Every beat attack was the same as the next attack. The bear was excellent but it has no personality.
La monja (2005)
Watered down horror
Wow are you guys tough on this film. Granted it was "I know What You Did Last Summer" with a Nun. But the Nun was pretty scary and the film maintained a disturbingly eerie feel. There is something about the European sensibility that gives this kind of film a moody realism. It was a little odd that everyone had Spanish accents I thought the acting was pretty natural. The special water effects were pure trailer material. However, I felt let down by the end of the movie. It seemed rushed. And I'm sure it wasn't. This was also the work of a first time director. I thought he did a great job.
That said, I have seen far worse films.
I'm also dieing to see Yuzna's "What Lies Beneath". I enjoyed to book and was sorry to see his film isn't available on DVD.
