“Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny”
While the crack of Indy’s whip and the moment Ford dons his famous brown fedora may get those feel-good endorphins flowing, it also makes in painfully clear that a movie can only coast so far on nostalgia.
“Mountains”
A reserved drama about the immigrant experience in America that tells a familiar story in a refreshing way.
“Let the Canary Sing”
A straightforward documentary about the life and career of 80s pop icon Cyndi Lauper, the film is a celebration of her lasting music and a tribute to her tireless advocacy.
“Omen (Augure)”
While I didn’t love this film, I certainly appreciate what the director’s gift for mind-bending visual flair, and the hallucinatory qualities of the film perfectly complement its overall unsettling feel.
“Joy Ride”
This diverse, explicit, raucous, sex-positive movie is going to make a lot of people very, very uncomfortable, and audiences should be there for every delicious second of it.
