Review: 'Haunted Mansion"
This re-make is perhaps only marginally better than the original by virtue of an all-star cast and updated special effects.

Review: 'Cocaine Bear'
A 'Snakes-on-a-Plane' kind of thriller movie. The title says it all. It is what it is—unabashedly preposterous, funny and entertaining.
