'Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny' Proves Harrison Ford is Still Charming At Any Age
Indiana Jones (Harrison Ford) in Lucasfilm’s Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny. ©2022 Lucasfilm Ltd. & TM. All Rights Reserved. Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny doesn’t live up to vintage Indy adventures, but contains enough fun set pieces and Harrison Ford charm to far surpass 2008’s Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.

Edge of Tomorrow (2014)
There have been some successful video-game-to-movie adaptations made here and there. Out of all of them, Edge of Tomorrow is the best… even though it isn’t actually based on a game. It’s hard to explain but you’ll see what I mean if you read on.
After an arduous struggle against alien invaders called Mimics, mankind has finally managed to hold their advance and now, we’re getting ready to counter-attack. When Major William Cage (Tom Cruise) is ordered to head into battle by his superiors, he tries to unsuccessfully blackmail his way out of combat, is knocked unconscious and sent to the front lines as punishment. The campaign is a disaster. Within minutes, everyone, including Cage, is dead. That’s when he wakes up. Something happened to him and now he relives that attack over and over.
Based on the Japanese novel All You Need is Kill (which is actually a much better title), this movie takes you by surprise. I had to spoil the premise to get you intrigued, but if you didn’t know, you’d be scratching your head from the beginning. Tom Cruise playing a coward who gets bumped off minutes in? Even when he wakes up alive again, he’s still a wimp who desperately wants to avoid the battlefield. Didn’t see that coming. What follows is a hybrid of Starship Troopers and Groundhog Day. Like in a video game, everyone - Mimic and human alike - ends up at the same spot, does the same thing, and has the same lines to say unless Cage does something to move them. This allows him to strategize and through trial and error, become impossibly skilled. This means you’ll get many hilarious scenes as he tries to get to that one place at the right time… only to fail and die horribly. You’ll also see mind-blowing sequences in which he effortlessly blows legions of opponents away, firing behind him in exactly the right spot to ensure a kill shot and dodging projectiles like he’s got eyes on the back of his head.
The time loop mechanic is just one aspect of the film. The truth is, no matter how good you are at firing a gun, you’ll eventually run out of bullets. A single man could never take down an entire invasion on his own. As we get deeper into the plot, we move away from the chaos of the war zone and towards the big question. Why is this happening? How does Cage break the loop? The answers lie in Sergeant Rita Vrataski, the “Full Metal Bitch” (Emily Blunt). She’s the opposite of Cage. Cool, collected, brave and highly skilled. Too bad the time power thing was given to the slimy noodle instead of her…
Edge of Tomorrow is a blast. It’s laugh-out-loud funny, and then it switches into action mode. The battles are the kind that makes other films look wimpy by comparison. Not only are the actors doing their own stunts but all of the combat is creative and expertly directed. We get plenty of satisfying character moments and growth, which is expected in this type of film, but the way the screenplay by Christopher McQuarrie, Jez Butterworth and John-Henry Butterworth does it is unexpected. A large chunk of the film is about two people, one of which can change, and the other cannot, at least not in the same way.
The plot moves quickly, there are many memorable lines and moments, you love digging into the mystery and the special effects are top-notch. There’s so much of it to like you start second-guessing yourself. “Is this movie really this awesome, or am I crazy?” Your gut instinct is correct. “Awesome” is the perfect word. The ending might seem a little too clean for some but a key line in the film sets it up and you’ve got to give this picture credit for truly understanding just how powerful a tool time travel is.
Following a so-so run at the box office, Edge of Tomorrow was rebranded as Live. Die. Repeat on home video. Now, it's just waiting to be discovered. Seek it out and you’ll have a blast. (On Blu-ray, April 19, 2019)

Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny. Movie Review.
It was inevitable that Disney/Lucasfilm would eventually circle back around and apply the legacy sequel formula that they cemented with The Force Awakens on George Lucas and friends’ other major franchises while Harrison Ford was still around. Hence we have Dial of Destiny which sees Ford don the hat and bullwhip in his 80s to go on a globetrotting mcguffin hunt with Phoebe Waller-Bridge playing…

. I don't believe in magic. But a few times in my life, I've seen things. Things I can't explain. And I've come to believe it's not so much about what you believe, it's how hard you believe it.

'Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny' - Yes, I Liked It
Leading up to the release of “Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny,” I was often reminded of a piece of dialogue from “Live Free or Die Hard” in which Thomas Gabriel described John McClane as being “a Timex watch in a digital age.” This was certainly the case when Harrison Ford put back on that fedora and bullwhip in 2008 with “Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull,” and it remains…

Six Plays by Alan Bennett: Afternoon Off (1.4, LWT, 1979)
"We have a black vicar comes here. He's black, yet he's Church of England. Beautifully spoken. And he's got lovely hands. Course, it's all in the melting pot now, isn't it? Foreign doctors, black vicars, the physio's Hungarian, and Muriel over there, she has a home help that comes from Poland!"
"Not every week?"

Le cadran de la destinée.
Pas de doute, dès les premières images, on retrouve le Indiana Jones des années 1980. Harrison Ford, chapeau vissé sur le crâne faisant claquer son fouet. L’intrigue, création des scénaristes Jez Butterworth, John-Henry Butterworth et David Koepp avec un apport non négligeable du réalisateur James Mangold, tous les éléments qui ont fait d’Indiana Jones le héros, de l’action, des méchants, un soupçon d’histoire d’amour, de l’humour, de l’autodérision et un rythme soutenu. Tous les ingrédients sont donc là, James Mangold étirant parfois un peu trop la sauce nostalgique, ce Indiana Jones et le cadran de la destinée atteignant quand même les 154 minutes
Cette fois-ci, l’archéologue bourru s’est aperçu, qu'en 1944, tout comme son rival nazi Jürgen Voller (Mads Mikkelsen), que la lance du Christ dérobée pour le Führer était un faux. Quelque 25 ans plus tard, Helena Shaw (Phoebe Waller-Bridge), filleule d’Indy, le convainc de partir à la recherche d’un mystérieux cadran, la machine d'Anticythère, invention du mathématicien Archimède, laquelle possède des pouvoirs inexplorés... et dangereux
