Good lord, so much bad luck...
OCTOBER 27, 2026
I don't really know what possessed me to watch this movie. I have zero ties to it. I feel like the closest thing I can get to is that when I scrolled past it on the list of films available on Prime there was something about it that just gave me long enough to pause that it triggered some response to select it. I think, despite not being a particularly big fan of Kiefer Sutherland that his being in the film would add some layer of authenticity. He's a big name, right? I know a lot of times there's an evil MacGuffin that is causing some measure of chaotic nonsense and is more than likely imbued with a malevolent spirit of some kind. I figured that's what this movie was. I was not wrong. And if you guessed that it's mirrors, you'd be right. It's a leap. I know. But people seemed to enjoy 24, right?

The Accountant: A semi-comprehensive audit
Hey there Cinemaster fans, it’s your old pal Nighthawk aka Adam Peterson. It’s been a little while since I’ve labored over the written word when it comes to movies and I’d kind of like to get back into the habit of it all. I’d like to promise up front that I’ll do my best to be consistent in returning to this venue to reprise my thoughts regularly on the films …

FEATURED COUNTDOWN
the big one
I think most normal people don't get the type of anxiety I do when someone asks me what my favorite movie is. And I know if you're reading this you're nodding your head along with me, ""Yes Ron. We understand it's an insane question to ask a person who loves movies as much as WE do." I mean to put somebody on the spot like that, it's RIDICULOUS. My point is, if you see a guy walking your way wearing a t-shirt that reads "There is only one "Return" and it's not of the King" the polite thing to do would be to ask them, "Isn't Return of the Jedi amazing?" and they will embrace you like a brother. Here's a list of the top 10 movies I'm comfortable disclosing...on this day.
