spring and summer flicks

---

Here are a few one liners about the flicks I have (re)watched this Spring and Summer.

• The Accountant ★★★★★★★★☆☆
  Ben Afflect does a great job playing a assassin mob bookkeeper with Aspergers.
• Age of Adeline ★★★★★★★★☆☆
  Love the mystical characteristics of this tale of a woman who never ages.
• The Big Sick ★★★★★★★★★☆
  Beautifully retold true story of love, arranged marriages, cross cultrural dating and a girl in a coma.
• Casino ★★★★★★★☆☆☆
  I guess it was just too hard to live up the the hype. IMO, good but not great.
• Deja Vu ★★★★★★★☆☆☆
  Fun SciFi flick starring Denzel about time travel and the ability to change the future from the past.
• Grosse Pointe Blank ★★★★★★★☆☆☆
  Crazy tale of a contract killer who goes to his high school reunion.
• Keeping Up with the Joneses ★★★★★★★☆☆☆
  Thoroughly enjoyable story about the spies who move into the cul-de-sac.
• Lion ★★★★★★★★☆☆
  Heartwarming story about a boy who was lost at age 6 and found his way home 20+ years later
• Masterminds ★★★★★★☆☆☆☆
  Kooky and funny story based on the true life story of 4 dim-witted people who pulled off a $17m heist.
• The Matrix Series ★★★★★★★★☆☆
  Had all three flicks recorded and binged through them. Fast forwarded through much of the last two. The rating is for the initial installment which is very good. I give the sequels 3-4 stars each.
• Rogue One: A Star Wars Story ★★★★★★★☆☆☆
  Another movie that simply could not live up to all of the hype.
• Snowden ★★★★★★★★☆☆
  Oliver Stone's examination of the life and patriotism of a guy who is called a traitor by some.
• Spectre ★★★★★★★★☆☆
  A pretty good Bond flick about the criminal agency created in the Ian Fleming books.
• Solaris ★★★☆☆☆☆☆☆☆
  I like SciFi flicks but this is not one of George Clooney's better efforts.
• Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan ★★★★★★★★☆☆
  I love this campy Star Trek movie and could almost watch it every day. ツ
• Star Trek III: The Search for Spock ★★★★★★☆☆☆☆
  Not one of the better trekker flicks but a nice way to kill an afternoon.
• Star Trek IV: The Journey Home ★★★★★★☆☆☆☆
  What can I say. This retired guy was on a Kirk Spock binge. :)
• Watchmen ★★★★★★★☆☆☆
  A fun super hero movie about dark comic book action figures trying to prevent nuclear war.
• The Way We Were ★★★★★★☆☆☆☆
  Not as good as I remembered it but a nice throwback Thursday movie.

I will augment (marked with *) the list as I watch more movies (at home and at the theater) this summer.
