Most #JasonStatham movies are not worth it. I've mentioned #Homefront and Crank: High Voltage.

The only reason that I stuck with #TheBeekeeper (2024), despite Statham once again strutting around muttering expressionlessly, fighting people, and stealing other people's cars, was the cast of British actors (from #MinnieDriver through #JemmaRedgrave to #DonGilet) all putting on their best General American accents and pretending to be the upper echelons of the U.S.A. intelligence services and government.

I was also intrigued by the #bees, but that part was rubbish.

There are holes in the plot that one could drive a truck through. Indeed, Statham does drive a truck through one, and ride underneath a truck over another. The whole premise of the movie is stupid, and it is nothing more than a bunch of fight scenes strung together, but not with anything like the panache of Kill Bill.

Of course they've already made a sequel. I can make a good guess what Statham will be doing.

Home Front / Bootlicker (NDY #947)

East End United Church, Saturday, May 16 at 07:00 PM EDT

HOME FRONT, Canada’s band, return to Toronto May 16th!

Has there been a band that more perfectly captures that post-pandemic ennui than HOME FRONT? We’ve never been shy to show our love for our fellow Canucks. And their second full length, “Watch it Die,” once again highlights their uncanny ability to craft meaningful music that is incredibly catchy. Songs indebted to their deep love for punk’s past, that so beautifully captures how we’re feeling today. You’re born alone. You die alone. You don’t have to live alone.

They’re joined by fellow Western Canadian maniacs BOOTLICKER. A band whose speed is only matched by their ability to write a sick riff.

And you’ll find us, back at the East End United Church for an all ages affair.
