INDIANA JONES AND THE DIAL OF DESTINY
PG-13
Harrison Ford may be an octogenarian, but he remains Indiana Jones, today, tomorrow and always. In this, what everyone insists is the last adventure of the whip-snapping archeologist, Indy finds his destiny along with Phoebe Waller-Bridge, John Rhys-Davies (joining Indy once again), Mads Mikkelsen and Antonio Banderas. James Mangold is at the helm this time, but original producers Steven Spielberg, George Lucas and Frank Kennedy are still along for the ride, making this one of the summer’s must-see movies in the theater.
TRANSFORMERS: RISE OF THE BEASTS
Not yet rated
Spielberg has been a producer on all the Transformers movies and he’s back again with this seventh installment, which this time finds those shapeshifters turning into massive robotic beasts. Fans of the franchise should enjoy the action, with the familiar voices of Michelle Yeoh, Pete Davidson, Ron Perlman, Peter Dinklage and Ted Lasso breakout Cristo Fernandez bringing a familiar feeling to the proceedings.
SPIDER-MAN: ACROSS THE SPIDER-VERSE
Not yet rated
The follow-up to 2018’s hit animated take on Spider-Man has lots of the same people on board, from producing team Phil Lord and Christopher Miller to the vocal talents of Shameik Moore, Jake Johnson, Hailee Steinfeld, Brian Tyree Henry and more. This time, Spider-Man meets up with other Spider-People who love the Multiverse just as much as he does—but they all don’t quite get along.
ASTEROID CITY
PG-13
When writer-director Wes Anderson has a new movie ready, we are the first in line. For there’s no other filmmaker with his unique sensibility and visual style. No matter what he’s taking on—from The Royal Tenenbaums to The Grand Budapest Hotel and his animated wonders like Fantastic Mr. Fox and Isle of Dogs—Anderson’s cinematic vision is funny, satiric and downright wonderful. Asteroid City has an all-star cast (as usual) and a crazy plotline set during a Junior Stargazer convention. Hanks, Johansson, Swinton, Cranston, Brody, Norton, and Schwartzman lead the stellar cast.
NO HARD FEELINGS
Not yet rated
When you have an Academy Award (and three more nominations) on your resume like Jennifer Lawrence, Hollywood honchos let you branch out from action and drama into comedy, so that’s just what she did. This slightly raunchy comedy is based on a real-life Craigslist ad posted by the parents of an awkward 19-year-old man whose parents want him to get out of their house and off to college; she’s just the woman to make that happen.
