ON THE BIG SCREEN

THE ACCOUNTANT 2
R
Ben Affleck returns as the autistic accountant whose life isn’t all it seems on the surface, along with Jon Berenthal, his hitman brother. Together, the siblings join up with U.S. Treasury agent Medina (Cynthia Addai-Robinson, also returning from the original thriller) to uncover a complex murder-for-hire plot. When the assassins come after the three of them, there’s hell to pay!

THE AMATEUR
PG-13
Rami Malek stars as a CIA agent whose deskbound job is perfectly good for him, until his wife is murdered in the midst of a terrorist attack. In his grief, he decides to go after her killers, with the help of one of the CIA’s trained killers (Laurence Fishburne). As the chase begins, he seems to be out of his element, but soon proves to be much more than just a computer geek. Rachel Brosnahan, Juliana Nicholson and Caitronia Balfe join in this action-filled adventure.

FREAKY TALES
R
Oakland, 1987, is the setting for this wild flick filled with murder, mayhem and music that was a Sundance Film Festival favorite. Pedro Pascal and Jay Ellis lead a talented cast in this four-thread tale that goes off into some seriously whacked-out places. At times funny, then ultra-violent, this one’s got a Tarantino vibe. Written and directed by Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck (Captain Marvel).

SINNERS
R
Director-writer Ryan Coogler (Black Panther, Creed) directs Michael B. Jordan once again, this time as twins who return home and discover that going back to the beginning is not a good idea. Set in bygone Southern times, this is a horror story with a new twist, so don’t let anyone spoil it before you see it. Hailee Steinfeld, Delroy Lindo and Jack O’Connell join in the mayhem that happens here.

A MINECRAFT MOVIE
PG
Jason Momoa, Danielle Brooks and Jack Black join forces to delight the legion of Minecraft video game fans in this big-screen action adventure filled with wacky creatures straight out of the game. And while those two are actual humans who drop into the game, make sure to listen closely to pick out Jennifer Coolidge and Kate McKinnon in this flick that’s got kids begging their parents for a trip to the multiplex.
