The Beekeeper

Jason Statham is a Beekeeper. Literally and as a codename. Beekeepers are an extra-government organization charged with keeping the world save from corruption and evil. But he is retired now and an actual beekeeper. When his landlord, friendly old lady, neighbor is conned out of everything, his protect the hive, beekeeper training kicks in and he goes to burn down the call center and entire organization of fraud that is stealing money from the frail. Basically, another name for the same plot to do action/save the world stuff. Love it.

Land of Bad

A tier-one team is sent into a jungle island bad guy lair to rescue a captured "JSOC Asset". Their normal tech guy is out so they get an air force guy sub. He is connected to the drone operators. Supposed to be a quite extraction, but everything goes wrong, everything blows up, everyone gets killed. And I do mean everything, everything and everyone. The air force tech earns the respect of his team and gets his honorary "tier one status". Oh, and they get the asset.

Madame Web

Back story first I guess. This is the development of how a group of "spider women" get their powers from a spider cult clan deep in the amazon jungle and how they overcome the wierdness of their situation to save the world from a bad guy. A new character for me (and most I would guess), so Marvel was right to make this a backstory movie.

Atlas

J Lo as a badass action hero nerd robot scientist. Her mom created general artificial intelligence, which led to a global battle between humans and machines. The chief machine (first created being) left the planet to regroup. Now the battle resumes. Kind of a cross between terminator and pacific rim.

Tig Notaro: Hello Again

I like Tig. This 1-hour comedy special is exactly what you expect, with humorous stories and slice-of-life happenings that make you laugh. Nothing that I will actually remember a month later, but enjoyable in the. moment.

The Bad Batch (serial)

Season 3

This is one of the best Star Wars series, IMO. Omega got captured at the end of last season, and opens in prison on a secret planet. The season goal is to rescue Omega and learn more about why she is so important. We get a little bit of info about project necromancer, but really I feel like I am only a part time fan and that a true fan already knows the whole story, with dialogue droppings functioning as easter eggs. Regardless, great story, pacing and characters.
