FlixChatter Review: Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny (2023) – despite some eye-rolling moments, Ford’s timeless charisma makes even the most absurd scenes worth watching

It’s been 15 years since the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull was released, which doesn't exactly make me want to see another Indy movie.

Musings on Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015)

I wasn't going to blog about Star Wars as I didn't think I'd have time before my East Coast trip on Tuesday. But you know what, I can't help it. Hubby and I actually watched the original trilogy a few weeks ago, just to refresh my memory as I barely remember any of the story. …
