INDIANA JONES AND THE DIAL OF DESTINY is the fifth and final episode in the popular series of movies starring Harrison Ford. This one took 8 months to shoot and had a final budget of almost 300 million dollars. The man reason to see it is the fine acting of 80 year old Harrison Ford especially at the end of the film when the globe trotting adventurer he plays is wounded and tired. There are also several creatively choreographed chase scenes that I thoroughly enjoyed even though the preposterous action they show seems almost cartoonish. I liked the snappy repartee between Indiana Jones and Phoebe Waller Bridge as his goddaughter, but the overstuffed plot is pretty silly. Finally, the movie would be a lot more entertaining if half an hour were chopped from its running time of 2 hours and 24 minutes….My review of ASTEROID CITY can be seen at https://youtu.be/cfAyTwfbcAk

A HAUNTING IN VENICE is the most recent of more than twenty movies based on the works of mystery writer Agatha Christie. Kenneth Branagh directs and stars as detective Hercule Poirot for the third time (after MURDER ON THE ORIENT EXPRESS and DEATH ON THE NILE). The movie is a modest entertainment given a lavish treatment. It’s got a great cast and creative cinematography, but the whodunnit plot is a bit confusing and a little hard to believe. It’s the kind of film you will likely enjoy but forget about in a few weeks. There’s more than a little supernatural suggestion throughout this movie, but to call it A “HAUNTING” IN VENICE is a stretch. This is an old fashioned murder mystery not a horror film.....
