Jason Statham is back in the latest Jason Statham movie, where he plays Jason Statham doing Jason Statham things. The name of the game is Parker and it serves as the actor’s best film in years, but ultimately it feels like just another – sorry to sound repetitive – Jason Statham movie.

How is J-Lo so popular? She has rarely done a good movie, and her music isn’t very good, either. Yet here she is in yet another role, trying to prove that she can do gritty when she clearly cannot.

El Cantante is okay, except it’s not, because not only is it boring, uninformative and… boring… it is the exact same story we see in just about every singer’s story from the 1970′s (read: drugs, depression, AIDS or some combination of the three).
