The Beekeeper movie is a great action film but is also a mixed bag of values making it a bad movie. Ends up being not a good vigilante movie, not a good anti-hero movie, zero suspense, wasted conspiracy potential, unapologetic copying and badly done trope of the 'John Wick as the boogyman for bad guys'.
I understand movies that just try (and many times succeed) to be mindless action movies where the plot is not the priority. But the Beekeeper movie does try to have a moral mes…

Since then, I've seen many more of his- I just counted, I've seen 13 of his 23 films, and I've loved all of them. I'm a huge fan. My favorite was Shivers for a while. I'm not sure what it is now.

Cinema Freak on Instagram: "😂 Fackham Hall is a satirical British comedy film released in December 2025. Written by comedian Jimmy Carr in his screenwriting debut, it is a parody of period dramas like Downton Abbey and Gosford Park, blending high-society drama with the slapstick style of movies like Airplane! and The Naked Gun. Plot & Cast The story is set in 1930s England and follows Eric Noone (played by Ben Radcliffe), a lovable pickpocket who blags his way into a job at the grand Fackham Hall estate. The Romance: Eric begins a forbidden romance with Rose Davenport (Thomasin McKenzie), the rebellious daughter of the house. The Conflict: The Davenport family, led by Lord Davenport (Damian Lewis) and Lady Davenport (Katherine Waterston), is facing financial ruin and needs Rose to marry her cousin Archibald (Tom Felton) to secure their inheritance. The Twist: A murder occurs at the manor, and Eric is framed, leading to a chaotic "whodunit" investigation. #reels #movie #funny #instagood #viral"

Because @…’s Flipboard site won’t scroll for me (?!?), here’s the paragraph with the punch:
❝It’s worth noting that over the decades, Pixar has explored topics such as, but [not*] limited to: becoming a widower, suddenly becoming a single or adoptive parent, environmental collapse, existential dread, motherhood, and job burnout. The first Incredibles has a subplot where Elastigirl thinks Mr. Incredible is having an affair, Toy Story 3 has the toys accept death by furnace, and Elemental is about interracial relationships. The last two movies Docter directed were Soul, which is about a Black man finding joy in his life again, and Inside Out—maybe the most therapy-ass movie (and series) in the studio’s entire 40-year tenure—is about messy preteen emotions that lead to its main character running away from home.❞
