The Rest - March 12, 2023

This bear loves two things: Cocaine and Felicity.

A quick wrap-up of everything else I watched this week. (It wasn't all Oscar marathoning!)

65 (2023) - Adam Driver fights dinosaurs. What could go wrong? Well, everything, apparently. This movie has no heart, no stakes, and doesn't even seem particularly interested in the dinos. It's a tedious video game mission, set to easy and played on an old, dimming monitor.

Cocaine Bear (2023) - Another movie that coasts a little too much on its premise, but at least there are some laughs here. Ray Liotta is in fine form in one of his last performances, and there's a little blond kid who basically carries the film. Honestly, it might have been better without the bear.

Poker Face, season finale (2023) - There were a couple episodes in the middle that made me question whether this show had legs or not, but I stuck around for Natasha Lyonne's Charlie Cale (one of the most compelling lead characters around). And the last couple eps were also absolute bangers. They wrapped up some loose ends without diverting the show from its mystery-of-the-week path. I'll come back for season two.
