Was flipping through the channels and landed on this movie. Entertaining movie!
Web log that provides periodic reviews of movies using a new rating system in 2024. Formerly, movies were rated as a "first-date" movie and/or "first-rate movie rental". In 2022 and 2023, we rated movies on a Beer basis. See details in the sidebar below. Beginning 2024, we now use a simpler rating system - Thumbs Up/Down!

The Accountant
Ben Affleck plays an accountant but with a twist. It looks like he can balance the books as well as fight bad guys in a blink of eye! Lasted just over two hours. Did not feel long... great movie! Would see it over the new Jack Reached movie.
Jack Reacher - Never Go Back
Tom Cruise's sequel to the first movie in the Jack Reacher franchise. This round Jack deals with a conspiracy that has a potential love interest's life in danger... add an illegitimate daughter and lots of fist fights, and the sequel is okay.
Something that the first movie captured is missing this round. Still enjoyed watching it, but would likely have waited for the DVD instead of seeing it at the Movie House.
