Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull **½
This long-delayed fourth outing for the classic adventure series sticks to the successful formula of the earlier films but adds a few jokes about star Harrison Ford's advanced age and a hot young sidekick (Shia LaBeouf). Serious thespian Cate Blanchett hits the right notes as the heavily accented villainess.
PG-13, 123 minutes
Mongol
Two hours of screen time apparently aren't enough to capture all of the bloody battles that face a young man named Temudgin (Tadanobu Asano). Stay tuned for installments two and three of the planned trilogy, in which our hero will eventually take on the more familiar title of Genghis Khan. (No relation to Chaka, or the bad guy from the second "Star Trek" movie.)
R, 126 minutes
War, Inc.
This strident satire will appeal largely to the left-leaning types by and for whom it was made. In the fictional, recently invaded country of "Turaqistan," which is now run by a Halliburton-esque corporation that is in turn run by a portly ex-VP, John Cusack is an assassin who falls in love with a reporter played by Marisa Tomei. Together they make many dark jokes.
R, 107 minutes
