38 at the Garden (2022)
Any basketball fan, especially one who loves the New York Knicks, will remember the name Jeremy Lin. The undrafted free agent entered the league in 2010 and bounced around a few teams to start his career. Lin, an Asian American, ended up on the Knicks during the 2011-2012 season. In February 2012, Lin was inserted into the lineup due to several key injuries.
The next month would be known as Linsanity, one of the most unprecedented runs in NBA history. Lin went from the bench to the starting lineup as he revitalized his career. 38 at the Garden relives Lin’s epic run in New York, culminating with a magical game against the Los Angeles Lakers inside Madison Square Garden.

The Accountant (2016)
For those who still have cable, The Accountant is a TNT special. The Ben Affleck action pic typically followed an NBA game on TNT. The solid box office return and strong word of mouth on streaming led to the sequel, The Accountant 2, now in theaters. Before venturing into the buddy comedy sequel, revisit the action thriller that started it all.
Christian Wolff (Ben Affleck) might be autistic, but his superpower is his brain, especially in the realm of mathematics. As an accountant, Christian launders money for criminal organizations. When tasked with auditing a robotics company, Christian discovers an irregularity involving millions of embezzled money. The more Christian investigates, the more he puts himself in danger. Did I mention that Christian is also a weapons expert and skilled fighter?

Results (2015)
In the world of fitness, things can get messy, especially when it involves sex.

Trevor and Kat previously slept together, and the former might still have feelings for the latter. However, Kat hates commitment and eventually sleeps with Danny. Trevor and Danny now both love Kat, which complicates their trainer-trainee relationship. Results may sound cheesy, but it’s quite an entertaining, free-flowing romantic comedy.
