Why watch this film?
Indiana Jones is one of the most iconic characters in movie history, perhaps the most iconic. The hat-and-whip-wielding explorer has found a special place in the popular imagination, and the theme music still follows Harrison Ford, the actor behind Indy, to this day. So, 15 years after the mediocre Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull and 42 years since the release of the first film, Harrison Ford returns to the legendary role of the archaeologist for his final adventure. The film takes place in 1969 and Indy, struggling to fit into a world that seems to have left him behind, is about to retire after spending over a decade teaching at a university in New York. However, the adventure calls him back when his ward (Phoebe Waller-Bridge from Fleabag) shows up looking for an extremely rare artifact. That's when director James Mangold (known for Logan) takes the reins of this adventure, replacing Steven Spielberg for the first time, with unexpected moments for the character, from a fun adventure in Morocco to moments that recall the Doctor Who series. Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny is a film that balances the past, present and future, trying to create a new path for Indy, while celebrating all that this character has given us on the big screen.

From the same director
Walk the Line
A biopic featuring standout performances, diving into the early career of one of the biggest names in country and rock'n'roll. The script may have its flaws, but the film as a whole is entertaining and engaging.The end result could be nothing else but accolades, including an Oscar and Golden Globe for Best Actress for Reese Witherspoon, and a Golden Globe for Best Actor for Phoenix.
The Wolverine
This is the second solo Wolverine movie, taking place some time after 'X-Men: The Last Stand'. It's a definite rescue of the character after the failures of 'X-Men Origins: Wolverine' and the last X-Men film. Directed by the capable James Mangold ('The Unforgiven'), the plot is loosely based on the 1980s comic book miniseries 'Wolverine: The Last Stand' written by Chris Claremont and illustrated by Frank Miller. Despite its last section relying on superhero movie clichés to wrap up the story, it's an interesting movie.
Logan
In this movie, Wolverine, the comic book character, returns more mature, heavy and bloody. But more than that: director James Mangold pays tribute to western films, including references to the movie 'The Wild Bunch', arriving at a final result that deals with mature subjects like paternity, the elderly and death. A true punch in the face. A beautiful example of how "superhero movies" can aggregate elements from different genres.
Ford v Ferrari
"Ford v Ferrari" is a movie that pits these two names against each other in a true story (albeit with its poetic liberties). Bitten by the insults of Enzo Ferrari, Henry Ford II determined that the car that could beat the famous Scuderia Ferrari in their own backyard: the 24 Hours of Le Mans. The cinematic version of this challenge is directed by James Mangold ("Logan", "Johnny & June"), who does a competent job creating tension and drama even for those who know the outcome of the story. The reconstruction of the 1960s, including sets, costumes and, of course, cars, is impeccable, as are the racing sequences - which do not bring that feeling of computer graphics, being one level above "Rush" in this sense. In the performances, we have a good Matt Damon in the skin of the also mythical Carroll Shelby, and an incredible (once again!) Christian Bale as the tempestuous and fast British driver Ken Miles. Racing fans may feel the lack of more screen time for other drivers who participated in all this, such as Chris Amon, Bruce McLaren and Dan Gurney, but the choice of the script makes sense for the construction of a human and engaging story. A story that will certainly impact everyone, whether they are fans or not of motor racing.
Adventure
Ernest & Celestine: A Trip to Gibberitia
'Ernest & Celestine: A Trip to Gibberitia' - In the follow-up to their first Academy Award®-nominated adventure, the duo returns to Ernest's home in Gibberitia, a land known for its musicians. But Ernest and Celestine soon discover that music has been banned and it is up to them to restore it.
Samson
After losing the love of his life to a cruel Philistine prince, a young Hebrew with Supernatural strength defends his people, sacrificing everything to avenge his love, his people, and his God.
The Book of Clarence
Biblical epics in the style of Ben-Hur are so recognizable in classic cinema that they have been the subject of witty parodies (most notably, the also classic Monty Python's Life of Brian). Here, director Jeymes Samuel (The Harder They Fall) filters the conventions of these films through a black lens, with a cast led by names like Lakeith Stanfield, Alfre Woodard, David Oyelowo, Omar Sy, and Anna Diop, among others. The Book of Clarence follows a man who, aspiring to be someone in life, decides to capitalize on the popularity of Jesus of Nazareth for his own benefit. Through the biblical cliché, the film examines issues such as black identity, the distortion of faith by organized religions, and the very sense of goodness and compassion. It's somewhat uneven but nonetheless entertaining.
Metalocalypse: Army of the Doomstar
After the heroic rescue of Toki Wartooth, DETHKLOK frontman Nathan Explosion finds himself traumatized in a BRUTAL professional and romantic flat-spin all while he is tasked with fulfilling the prophecy and confronting the ultimate songwriting challenge: write the SONG OF SALVATION and save the planet. Can Nathan Explosion look beyond his brutally damaged ego to save his band, stop the Metalocalypse, and finally face the ultimate evil: Salacia?
