'Bring Her Back' trailer: Sally Hawkins is a secretive foster mom
A foster mother (Sally Hawkins) takes in two siblings after the death of their father but also harbors a dark secret in horror movie "Bring Her Back."
"The Accountant 2" is coming to Prime Video very soon.
The sequel, starring Ben Affleck, is slated to hit the streaming service platform on June 5, Amazon announced.
The action thriller sequel follows Affleck's character, a highly skilled CPA with autism named Christian Wolff, as he "works" the murder case of a former associate. Wolff recruits his younger mercenary brother Braxton (Jon Bernthal) to help him find the killer.
"Christian Wolff has a talent for solving complex problems," according to a logline provided by Amazon MGM Studios. "When an old acquaintance is murdered, leaving behind a cryptic message to 'find the accountant,' Wolff is compelled to solve the case."
"The Accountant 2" garnered ★★½ out of four stars from USA TODAY movie reviewer Brian Truitt.
"Take Ben Affleck's original 'The Accountant,' subtract the math, add country line dancing and multiply it by two brothers. The result is a crime thriller sequel that's not as winning but still mostly satisfying," Truitt wrote.
Here's what to know about the highly anticipated sequel, including how to watch it.
How to watch 'The Accountant 2'
You can stream "The Accountant 2" on Prime Video starting Thursday, June 5. The first movie is also available on Prime Video.

Garmin Slashes Fenix 8, Forerunner Watch Prices In Major Sale
Garmin watches Garmin has dropped prices across several of its key watch lines as part of its Father's Day sale. Among the discounts are some of the watches I tend to recommend the most often, including the brilliant Forerunner 165 for $199.99, or $249.99 for the Music Edition with on-board storage for downloaded tunes. Deals are not limited to the lower-end lines either. The Garmin Fenix 8 is on sale at $200 off across the board, meaning the Fenix E now costs $599.99, while the highly recommended 47mm edition of the AMOLED Fenix 8 costs $899.99. The Garmin Instinct 3 is also worth a look, selling at $50 off. This means the range now starts at $249.99 for the non-OLED Instinct E, while the 45mm AMOLED version is $399.99. None of these three quite fit the bill? You'll also find discounts on the smartwatch—like Garmin Venu 3 family, the super-long-lasting Garmin Enduro 3, the Forerunner 265. And 2023's best all-round running watch from Garmin, the Forerunner 965. There are also discounts on the golf-specific Approach S70 and S12 watch lines. Those in the UK should also check out Garmin's discounts for Global Running Day, although most of these are roundly comparable with what we see for Father's Day in the US, with a few little additions. For example, the basic Garmin Forerunner 55 is on sale for £119 in the UK, where those in the US still have to pay $199.99. One factor to bear in mind here is older-generation Garmin watches frequently go on sale during other sales periods, such as Black Friday and Amazon's various Prime sales events. However, plenty of the watches in this sale remain the newest of their particular type, notably the Fenix 8, Instinct 3, Enduro 3 and — a personal favourite of mine as a sound buy — the Forerunner 165. And some, like the Instinct 3, are only a few months old.

Edmund White, prolific writer who chronicled gay life, dies at 85
Edmund White, prolific writer who chronicled gay life, dies at 85 Edmund White, a pioneering author who chronicled gay life and thumbed his own sexual experiences for literature that was at times arrestingly candid, died Tuesday. He was 85. White's agent, Bill Clegg, told USA TODAY June 4 that the author had died June 3 in his New York City home of natural causes. White was diagnosed with H.I.V. in 1985 and survived multiple strokes and a heart attack, continuing to add ink to his prolific literary catalogue even in his later years. With a singular voice, White wrote honestly about the queer experience – his 1980 work "States of Desire: Travels in Gay America" becoming a tome for an oppressed but vibrant culture just before the AIDS epidemic befell it. In "The Joy of Gay Sex: An Intimate Guide for Gay Men to the Pleasures of a Gay Life," White proved himself unafraid of going where few authors at that time had gone before. Collaborating with Dr. Charles Silverstein, he penned a literal how-to for intimate gay life, cracking open a conversation taking place off the page all over America. Born in 1940, White, a native son of the Midwest, eventually sojourned to New York City, where he sharpened his pen and trained a keen eye on a place that was becoming the center of gay life in the U.S. In 1982, shortly before he was diagnosed as H.I.V. positive, White co-founded and served as the inaugural president of the Gay Men's Health Crisis, a collective care unit aimed at advocacy amid the AIDS epidemic. He moved to France the following year, eventually returning to the U.S. in the late '90s. According to Clegg, White is survived by his husband and fellow author Michael Carroll, whom he married in 2013, and his older sister Margaret Fleming.
