Danger: Diabolik (1968)

[6] Horror master Mario Bava tackles this James Bond-like action/adventure about a stealthy thief nicknamed Diabolik (John Phillip Law) who eludes a pursuing detective through a series of elaborate heists. I didn't find the characters terribly interesting, but the film is awash in…

Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (2008)

Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (2008)

[5] This belated sequel gets by, for the most part, on good will and fond memories of the previous three installments. It's light on memorable action scenes and heavy on silliness (the CGI mokeys and gophers are really, really hard to shake).…
