THE BEEKEEPER 2 trailer: a flamethrower down a throat, weaponized bees, Metallica’s “For Whom the Bells Tolls,” and a 1969 Dodge Super Bee. We can’t do better than this.

‘The Raid’ director Gareth Evans is returning to theaters with a remake of ‘A COLT IS MY PASSPORT’. Starring Ṣọpẹ́ Dìrísù as a dual-wielding assassin & Jack Reynor in a neo-noir setting.

"YEAH, BUT HAVE YOU SEEN THE RAID??" getting the top spot for casuals whenever martial arts movies get brought up. Yes, we have seen a 15-year-old action film starring Iko Uwais, but have you seen Beyond Skyline, Headshot, Triple Threat, or The Night Comes For Us?

there’s no such thing as a movie being so bad that it’s good — if a movie makes you happy and feel something then it’s just good

Insomnia (2002) is the Nolan film people underrate because it doesn’t announce itself. The Alaskan daylight becomes a psychological pressure cooker, Pacino’s fatigue is the narrative engine, and the movie quietly studies guilt without puzzle box theatrics.

First poster for ‘MUTINY’, a new action thriller starring Jason Statham. The film follows a man who is framed for the murder of his billionaire industrialist boss and must go on the run. In theaters on August 21.

Don't know what to watch? Put on a heist film. Don't know what to do with your life? Put on a heist film. Confronting the eternal recurrence of all things? Put on a heist film.
