    Chuck Norris is a testimony to the power of the internet

    Chuck Norris doesn't need the internet. He created the WWW using only a typewriter.

    Saw this as a teenager. Terrifying then and it's held up really well.

    @MN5 Seen everyone of those movies and it's funny how I instantly recall Every Which Way but Loose which I watched as a kid with my father.

    Cocaine Bear

    It’s bloody hard work sitting with a 13 and 15 year old and finding something we all want to watch but we nailed it first time with this !

    Leave your brain and any semblance of logic at the door ( although apparently this is based on a true story ? ) and strap yourselves in for a ridiculous, gory, funny ride. Without giving anything away it’s literally about a Bear. On Cocaine.

    Ray Liotta, Ice Cubes son and the black dude from the wire who swears a lot are terrific in this. The chick from Felicity has improved with age too.

    A good solid 3.5 drug fuelled bears chasing ambulances out of 5 dismembered park visitors.

    Watched it with CF Jr and L'il Miss CF, 13 and 9, they thought it was pretty funny, although the younger didn't totally enjoy the jump scares

    My boys realised what utter bullshit it was when the bear CAUGHT UP TO THE AMBULANCE while it was driving away at full speed.

    When they crashed into the tree the oldest made a really tasteless but hilarious joke about Asian drivers too haha.

    The CGI was pretty poor too. About as average as that shark movie with LL Cool J and the hot redhead

    Yes, some close ups of the bear were horrifically shit looking.

    The Creator is worth a look, original story instead of a sequel or comic movie. Special effects are outstanding, apparently on only 80 million budget.

    Director from Rogue One.

    Child actors are usually shit, but the girl in this stole the show. First acting role and is a natural. Plot is not the most original but still manages to be surprising, and has something to say.

    My daughter got dragged to see it and ended up really enjoying it.

    I enjoyed this much more than I thought I would. Favourite part had to be the ambulance. Score is about right 👍

    Battlefield Earth

    This copped a pounding from critics when it was released. According to Wikipedia 'Released to a critical and commercial failure, it is frequently described as one of the worst films of all time'. 23 years later it's worse than they said.

    So the 2.5 rating on IMDb is generous?

    I do remember seeing it nearer to release, and it had the Scientology label attached to it, which didn't help.

    Was probably going to give this a miss, but from what's been posted, i'll give it a try.

    Equaliser 3.

    OK-ish, but a bit stale and Denzil looks a bit tired of the franchise. Good that they are stopping after this one.

    Cocaine Bear certainly has its moments, was a fun watch. 80s throwback.
