The Fall Guy
With a screenplay that knows it should be silly, and two very charming leads, the result is as good this could possibly have been.

Indiana Jones and The Dial of Destiny
It is about seeing an actor we like playing a character we have enjoyed in a story that feels familiar. It is generally pretty fun to watch.
