Sometimes when you watch a movie and you really like it (as I did with The Accountant), you are so excited to hear about a sequel. But then the sequel comes out and it leaves you with that “maybe you should have just stopped while you were ahead” feeling….
This could not be further from the truth with The Accountant 2.
I LOVED THIS MOVIE SO MUCH!
In fact, the world NEEDS The Accountant 3. Someone please tell me another sequel is in the works. The brother duo of Christian Wolff (played by Ben Affleck) and Braxton (played by Jon Bernthal) may go down as one of my favorite on-screen duos of all time. I love them together.
Without giving anything away, my two favorite scenes in The Accountant 2 to watch for (and you’ll know exactly the scenes I’m referring to if you’ve seen it because I bet you loved them, too):
1. The Line Dancing Scene
2. Braxton’s Pet Adoption
It’s just gold.
At the time of me writing this, both The Accountant and The Accountant 2 are streaming on Amazon Prime Video. Go back and rewatch the first one and go right into the second for a double feature. You won’t regret it.

Movie Review: The Exorcism of Emily Rose
The fact that I waited 20 years to watch this movie is a crying shame! The Exorcism of Emily Rose (2005) combines two of my favorite kinds of movies: Courtroom Dramas and Scary Movies (especially the demonic possession kind). For fans of the show Ozark, you’ll recognize Laura Linney. She plays the defense attorney that […]

Movie Review: Trap
It pains me to say this about an M. Night Shyamalan movie, but I found one I didn’t like. We’ve joked on the show that I should be the captain of the “Give M. Night Movies A Try” fan club because the critics are usually so harsh and while I haven’t seen all of his […]

In The Kitchen with Laura McKenna: Orange Vinaigrette Recipe
I’ve been on an Oil & Vinegar dressing kick lately but I also like a zingy Raspberry Vinaigrette every now and again. I had a few extra oranges on hand and thought- How about an Orange Vinaigrette? That might be tasty! So I messed around and came up with this perfect ratio of a sweet […]
