The Beekeeper
Today we watched The Beekeeper and honestly when I first saw the trailer for this movie I knew it was going to be just another stupid action movie. But we had to go for it anyway. Jason Statham is the action movie front man. Now we know that action is not normally my genre, I find the films to be very shallow with no real plot. And there have been only 2 films that combated that idea. The Beekeeper is not one of them. That said, as the bar is so low for action movies, did this movie at least deliver a good time? Well, let's get into it.

As with many child stars spending so long in the spotlight led to a decline of mental health and she was really struggling for a while. Well as someone who thrived on Lindsay Lohan movies when I was younger I was someone who was super excited to see her be healthy and happy again. So I was excited to finally sit down and watch Irish Wish.
