The Accountant 2016
Another example of a bunch of talented people both in front of and behind the camera turning up, doing their jobs, and good movie resulting from it.
A solid action thriller; my only criticism is that this is probably more complicated than it needs to be; the core story and characters are all that's necessary. That being said, it's plotted so perfectly you can hum to it.
Most importantly. it also handles it's depiction of neurodevelopmental disorders better than many films have done. Probably still not perfect, but let's call it progress.

Moonraker 1979
This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.
I figured if I should've watched this instead of 'Spectre', I should watch it anyway.
Roger Moore wasn't my Bond; he was my father's. To the point where the more serious takes after Moore put my dad off the franchise.
Dalton's my Bond; Moore's a little too silly for me. But his contribution to the series and spy cinema can't be discounted. Without him following up from Connery so successfully, we wouldn't *have* the modern action/espionage movie as an entire…

The Menu 2022
Well that was tedious.

Worst of all, using crass jokes via food as the delivery medium for revenge? As Hannibal Lector would say, “I wouldn’t do that to the food.”
Then again, maybe my dislike of this is because I’ve felt it wasted my time by spending…

Lucy 2014
This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.
This was my review of Lucy when I watched it back in 2015. My views have not changed…
...It's barely a film.
It's an action story with no conflict by way of a dreadful Von Danniken-esque pseudoscience documentary with awful "historical re-enactments" whilst simultaneously adapting a post-therapy Hideaki Anno anime that doesn't exist all while the titular character mainlines Spice Melange as she's chugging the Water of Life at the same time yet only becomes the Kwisatz Haderach in her mind whilst imagining a visit to the Planet of the Apes...
...It's not good at all. But I enjoyed it immensely.
