Well, hello there, kind folks. If you’re visiting this blog of mine, I presume that you have a certain interest in the cinema. As for me, even since my early childhood, I have had a deep love of everything related to movies and television. As far as I can remember, I have been more at ease in front of a screen than in the yard, outside, playing. It is a great way to travel, though other people’s stories, without having to foot any kind of steep bill. Over the years, I feel that movie-watching has even fuelled my own creativity.

All that being said, I welcome you in my Cinephile’s Nest. I hope you enjoy it here, feel free to come back at any time. Here you will find reviews of current movies and older ones. TV shows also. Some classics that have remained some of my favourites, some that have disappointed me. I will use a very basic star (*) system to grade them from 1 to 5 (5 being sliced bread level). Remember, these are just my tastes. I will try to explain in each review what I liked about these particular movies, without giving spoilers.

Il y aura aussi des critiques en français pour les films francophones, car j'aime également le cinéma dans ma langue maternelle. Avant d'apprendre l'anglais, plus jeune, je louais des tonnes de films traduits en français, surtout ceux de Bud Spencer et Terrence Hill. Ma mère a eu le choc de sa vie lorsqu'un jour, dans la boîte d'un de ces films, Deep Throat avait malencontreusement inséré. Une expérience formatrice pour le jeune cinéphile que je suis.

Bienvenue à tous, amusez-vous bien.

I welcome you all here, enjoy yourself.

Cocaine Bear (2023)

Genre: Horror / Comedy
Directed by: Elizabeth Banks
Cast: Keri Russell, O’Shea Jackson Jr., Christian Convery
Time: 95 minutes

 


A drug smuggler drops a shipment of cocaine from his plane before attempting to skydive with a coke-filled duffel bag, but he falls to his death in Knoxville, Tennessee. Some of the drugs are recovered with the body, but a good portion of it gets ingested by black bears in the area, who start behaving erratically and attacking people, causing havoc in the area.

This comedy-horror film is loosely inspired by some crazy true events. It is so over-the-top that it is hard to believe that it came from a piece of reality. All things considered; I was greatly entertained by this movie. The special effects were cool, the attack scenes were chilling and some of the dialogue made me laugh.
