“The Last Viking”
This twisted comedy has sudden bursts of shocking violence, but is also a surprisingly heartfelt character drama.
“The Promised Land”
A brutal, bloody, and complex story of savagery and ambition, this epic Danish historical drama is styled like an old fashioned American Western.
“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.
“Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore”
With strong performances, a detailed script, and impressive visual effects, this sequel works plenty of magic.
“Arctic”
Cerebral in its own way, with a purposely vague story that rewards the thoughtful viewer.
