The Accountant 2
I can't tell if this movie is just as good for different reasons or not as good because it isn't the same as The Accountant. There are some huge departures from the original, but it makes up for it in other ways. Howe

A Body in the Snow
To be honest, I am not sure how to write this/talk about this. The case is going to be retried, it isn't over. So the "Truth" isn't really out there. What I will say is that Karen isn't the type of person who makes sympathetic juries.
TV
Sins of Our Mother
These are the types of documentaries that I do not like. It is just an expanded story of what happened with the son providing some commentary. No answers, not additional story, nothing that I couldn't read in the news really.
Movies
The Jackal
As you can tell from the synopsis, this movie is a complete farce. Not that it was supposed to be anything else, but this just pushes it over the top. The FBI pulling someone from the IRA to help them find an assassin just because he has seen him is just crazy.
TV
The Tylenol Murders
I knew that it was this event that created the foil over the top of the pill bottle, but under the lid. Why do I know that? I have no idea I think my mom talked about it at some time when I was a kid. Probably when she was telling me to get a different pill package because it might be tampered with.
TV
Squid Game
This game story is only the beginning with player 456 really making strides. Showing people what being a human really means. Lee Jung-jae is outstanding in this. I believe bad writing and him learning english for the role is why he was weaker in The Acolyte, but I don't think it is his capability.
TV
Mayor of Kingstown
This is a very slow open show. It does take at least 2 episodes to really be interested and what keeps you involved is just the premise of the show and Renner. This feeling is the same for each season. The episodes are slow in general, but the first couple for each season as just REALLY slow.
Movies
Ocean's Eleven
I like the story on this. There is a lot of prep in the silliness and the duplicitous actions of Clooney make sense for the character and his real long term goal. I personally think he told Pitt the whole plan, but we just don’t see it.
Movies
The Town
These two though have some great scenes both together and on their own. They feel like brothers, they fight like brothers, and if I didn't know better, I'd say they grew up together in real life. This shows that while they might not have had banger after banger, they are outstanding actors.
Movies
Bad Boys for Life
Will and Martin are again outstanding in their comedy. I really like the return of Reggie as it is one of my favorite scenes from Bad Boys II where they make a scene when he picks up Martin's daughter.

Bad Boys II
A nice change from the first movie was by adding some additional interpersonal issues that add to the comedy. They never feel like a distraction which is good. Plus the bad guys in this have a nice life of their own. They are a little stereotypical 90s villains...
TV
Daredevil: Born Again
This show has felt like a drawn out drama at times, and others it has felt like a comic book action show with an over the top amount of gore. I am not saying the gore bothers me, I am just saying that amount that is flying off each person as they get hit is about 100x more than it should be.
