The Accountant- 2016-is a very good action movie starring Ben Affleck, Anna Kendrick, J.K. Simmons, Jon Bernthal (from Walking Dead), Cynthia Addai-Robinson, John Lithgow, etc.
It is on Amazon Prime Video... ENJOY.

It was memorable though. I saw that movie ONCE in a theater 22 years ago and still remember the look on Orlando Jones face when he said it.

"If you say so, Mr. Bond,"


Ugly humor may be memorable but it still does enchant the movie to me.

Where the Crawdads Sing - finally got around to watching it. It was pretty good. Uneven and a bit difficult to follow in spots. Wanted to read the book first but got lazy. Still, I liked it and would give it a 7.5-8, especially for the scenery and the acting was good too.

"Goodbye, Columbus"
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0064381/?ref_=nmbio_mbio

For as much as this flick has been regarded in history, I was rather expecting more, an impact like The Graduate, perhaps. About it's only impact, though, was that it seemed to be the entry of a lot of noticeable stars of today.

No, to be fair, perhaps it did have something, for its time, between sexual freedom but the thoughts of the older generation and racial injustices presented in minor and background ways.

But the movie builds up speed to that of a charging locomotive and you realize, "WAIT! You only have minutes left! What are you going to do!". The ending leaves one with, "HEY! We are out of rope, we need to end this, now!" and rather drops one off into the abyss. There is an ending but not what one anticipated, had a hope for. A 5.0 for a love move, 6.6 for a lesson about society.

Miniseries, really... but I just watched "Lonesome Dove" for probably the 10th time (on YouTube). Only book I've ever read more than once, also.

I agree. This is a cool movie. Lots of good action with a pretty good story and a twist.

I'm trying to find the time to watch Avatar 2 but honestly, I watched about 10 minutes of it and I had to stop. I don't even want to go back to it. I love the first one, but this one I think is going to disappoint me so I'm putting it off.
