Beekeeper out for revenge?! Sign me the fuck up.

This list is brilliant. No more Jared Leto, please God.

i found out about this movie the old fashioned way (walking into a movie theater and seeing a giant poster on the wall that said

JASON STATHAM

THE BEEKEEPER

and saying "JASON STATHAM IS THE BEEKEEPER?" out loud) and it instantly became my most anticipated movie of the year. down with leto!!!!!

The group chat is already planning our Beekeeper rendezvous. The rest of this list is impeccable, no notes.

Did we seriously watch three new movies while together over break... that’s so us.

One “part one” you’re missing is REBEL MOON: PART ONE - A CHILD OF FIRE, Zack Snyder’s blatant Star Wars rip-off for Netflix that just came out where Anthony Hopkins voices the C-3PO stand-in. Should not count as an actual movie

and we talked through all three!!!!!!! cute!

A CHILD OF FIRE... i never want to know what that means. i am a little embarrassed that i left it off the list but in my defense i also don't think it should exist, let alone in the same breath as a tom cruise joint

Men bonding without muscles and only friendship in 'The Eight Mountains' was one of my highlights of the year - https://youtu.be/ZypwY-hhI2c

‘Captain Volkonogov Escaped’ is a Russian movie that only got released in 2023. Lovely visuals, very macho, and with a message - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X0qakaKE-aM

For bombs, bullets, stabs and kicks, the best revenge movie last year was 'Sisu' - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2NnPzpuU5ao

'Passages' sucked. Giving movies higher ratings just because they're queer is anti-equal rights. However, in the same sentence you mentioned 'The Breaking Ice'. Classy enui drama that will probably only reach the art crowd in the West. Good as a triple-billing with 'Return to Seoul' and 'Next Sohee'.

'The Persian Version' was a great comedy - https://youtu.be/PDrlpcv4vXE

PS: I liked 'How to Blow Up a Pipeline'. Give it 7/10. Nice to sometimes watch a movie that never explodes.

ugh, iron claw was such a disappointment! one of those situations where the way people are talking about it feels completely disproportionate to what the movie actually manages to do. and as a MY-ASS-TRO enthusiast, i do 100% hear you but as a huge fan of bradley cooper's whole insane deal in general i was always doomed to stan!!!
