Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning
Almost three hours fly by in what seems like 90-100 minutes and as the credits roll, the audience leaves the theater wanting more (luckily, part two will be released next summer).

Joy Ride
The script is smart even as it resorts to toilet humor and Lim does a great job setting the scenes.

Indiana Jones and The Dial of Destiny
Indiana Jones and The Dial of Destiny is a solid send-off for Indiana Jones and Harrison Ford, but while older audiences will probably enjoy the film, it may not resonate with younger viewers.

Kandahar
In case we should ever forget, Kandahar is here to remind us of how dangerous that part of the world can be.
