Cocaine Bear!  That’s it.  That’s the title, that’s the review.  Those two words are enough that anyone who goes into this movie kind of knows exactly what they’re getting.  However, the most surprising thing about Cocaine Bear, is that it’s so much more than a “so dumb it’s fun” movie. “Based on True Events” Opening in 1985, we see a drug dealer drop several duffel … Continue reading “Cocaine Bear” – Equal Parts Gory, Hilarious, and Clever [Review]
