Movie Review: Affleck and Bernthal BOTH do the math in “The Accountant 2”
It’s too long and entirely too damned glib about the ultraviolent mayhem it unleashes on the just and the unjust. The plot is intentionally convoluted, with “hero” assassins and a disapproving Fed out to save a lady assassin from the … Continue reading

Movie Review: A Gay Fantasia about Honest Abe’s Same Sex Romance — “Lavender Men”
