Cocaine Bear (2023)::rating::3
A t every raging party, there's always That One Guy.  You know him.  He's a little bit jittery.  A little bit sweaty.  There's a big, powdery glob coming out of his nose and Jäegermeister coming out of every pore.  He just met you five minutes ago, but goddammit...he loves you, man.  At the end of…

Smile (2022)::rating::3.5
M uch like Taken, the 90s horror flick with Denzel Washington, Smile presents the most terrifying killer imaginable:  A virulent, incorporeal monster, traveling invisibly on the breeze.  It randomly lights on a victim, cursing them until they either end their life or murder someone else.  In their final moments, the afflicted wears the wide, unconvincing smile of…
