‘Cocaine Bear’ is Exactly As Advertised (Review)

Let's get one thing clear: 'Cocaine Bear' is genuinely a fun concept and exactly the movie you think it is. Is it any good? Let's just say, your mileage may vary on that aspect. Director Elizabeth Banks is in on the joke. She takes a "what did they just say" concept and turns it into an inherently watchable movie. It's just an incredibly silly one. Hannah Hoekstra as Elsa in 'Cocaine Bear' (Universal Pictures) Pitched as an "inspired by a true story" tale, 'Cocaine Bear' is as loosely rooted in the truth as a certain bloated and very orange ex-President. Which is to say, virtually nothing that happens in this film actually occurred in real life except for the fact that a dead bear was found in Georgia in 1985. Officials believe it ate an entire duffel bag of cocaine that had been...

6 Rock Bangers From 2006 You Probably Forgot About

Ahhh, 2006... the year in which Twitter first launched, Western Union sent its last telegram, Beyoncé was at the top of the charts, colorful ketchup* was discontinued, and the world lost an icon (Steve Irwin) to a freak stingray accident. Not only that, but it was the year that box offices saw the release of Cars, Night at the Museum, The Da Vinci Code, and Happy Feet... Facebook opened its doors to anyone age 13+ with a valid email address, creating a whole new generation of social media users who weren't even able to drive yet. Amid all of this chaos, it's easy to forget that 2006 was also an incredible year for rock music-- In this article, we're here to remind you of some of the top rock songs from 2006 that you might've forgotten about.

Iconic Rockers Extreme Drop Two New Singles Simultaneously

Multi-platinum hard rock icons Extreme might be known for songs like "More Than Words" and "Hole Hearted" but they're still turning out the hits. The band has been making waves lately with their single, "Rise." Now they're back with two new singles ahead of the release of their new album SIX on June 9th. 'SIX' Album Artwork "Banshee" is a seductive classic hard rock tune with a chugging rhythm section and playful guitar wizardry. The track features electrifying vocals that testify to the power and inspiration of the female form and spirit. It's the kind of song that'll get your blood pumping and your head banging. And then there's "#REBEL," a scathing track that takes on so-called keyboard warriors with its head-nodding beat and searing lead guitar runs. It's a hard-hitting anthe...

Mia Hansen-Løve Returns With Understated ‘One Fine Morning’ (Review)

With an incredible run of films going back to her 2007 debut 'All is Forgiven,' Mia Hansen-Løve has become one of my favorite filmmakers. She's been met with acclaim and accolades from the start, with that first film earning nominations at the Cannes Film Festival and the César awards. As the years have rolled on, she has continued to consistently tell intensely personal stories with warmth. We covered her last film, 2021's 'Bergman Island,' here and it recently was released through the Criterion Collection. For her eighth feature film, she cast Léa Seydoux ('Blue is the Warmest Color') as Sandra. She is a young single mother who works as a translator. Her father Georg (Pascal Greggory) was a brilliant man who taught philosophy, but a neurodegenerative disease has wrecked havoc...

The Black Delta Movement Release New Album ‘Recovery Effects’

Psychedelic rockers The Black Delta Movement have released their second studio album Recovery Effects. They've also shared the lead single, "Fourth Pass Over The Graveyard" and it's worth a listen (or a few dozen). The album, released on Fuzz Club, is a follow-up to the band's highly praised debut album Preservation and features eight tracks of immersive, groove-heavy psychedelic rock. Recovery Effects was produced by Malcolm Catto of The Heliocentrics and features Little Barrie’s Barrie Cadogan. The album is a collaborative effort that showcases Matt Burr’s commitment to musical development and determination. Burr speaks of the adversity that led to its creating, stating the new material is a love letter to the band and all the emotions that come with it. New Album, New Single "...
