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 Beekeeper Trailer is Classic Statham
2024 is starting off the right way, with what looks like a hard-hitting Jason Statham action movie, as today, MGM released a trailer for The Beekeeper.

If nothing else, “An Almost Religious Awe” assures us that Watchmen is completely off its rocker. This show is bugnuts crazy, and while I imagine Damon Lindelof and the rest of the people behind it think making everything about race is a shortcut to gravitas and intellectualism, the lunacy and slack-jawed idiocy can’t be ignored.
