Three movies, and a few other odds and ends.

“The Accountant” is a first rate thriller. It even reality checks fairly well. We liked it a great deal.

“Ouija: Origin of Evil” is a decent if slightly inferior prequel to 2014’s “Ouija.” Once again, the Hasbro endorsement is more than a little amusing.

“Jack Reacher: Never Go Back” is a first rate Tom Cruise action movie. Please note that “Tom Cruise Action Movie” is its own sub-genre, and is subject to its own set of rules. We enjoyed it. We also enjoyed making snide comments about the efforts to make Cruise look taller.

Along the way… Several days spent doing home repair to make sure the garage roof doesn’t collapse this winter, still another trip south to visit my father, and the box in the breakfast nook is still a conundrum.
