    Fast and Furious 11 Will Have Smaller Budget

    The Fast and Furious franchise is finally coming back down to Earth. In a post on his blog Insneider (which is behind a paywall, so this is via ComicBook.com), Jeff Sneider says that the next entry in the racing-turned-heist-turned-spy franchise will have a smaller budget and a lower-scale story more in line with the series’ humbler…

    REVIEW: The Beekeeper (2024)

    I’m not going to pretend The Beekeeper is a great movie, because it isn’t. It’s got less character work than your standard Allstate commercial, the acting – outside of a couple of performances – is just below mediocre, the narrative is thin as a shoestring, and the admittedly interesting themes aren’t explored nearly as much as…

The real question is whether it delivers on that promise, as the first…

    Expend4bles Red Band Trailer is For the Fans

    This time, Sylvester Stallone knows what he’s doing. A new red band trailer for Expend4bles, the fourth Expendables movie, has hit the web, and it leans heavily into the fact that, unlike the lame-o third entry in the throwback action franchise, this action extravaganza is rated R, and it earned that rating. Directed by Scott…

    REVIEW: Meg 2: The Trench (2023)

    Meg 2: The Trench is the kind of movie that knows its limitations but tries to cover them up rather than make the most of them. The sequel to 2018’s The Meg, which I didn’t like, is better than its predecessor, but not by much; a schlocky creature feature buried under bland characters with confused…
