New DVDS |
Here are some of today's DVD releases. Star ratings are by Seattle Times movie reviewers, freelancers or wire services (for full reviews, go to www.seattletimes.com/movies).
"Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull" (PG-13): Harrison Ford can still crack that whip as the famed archaeologist, 19 years after the third in the series. Joining this adventure, from filmmakers Steven Spielberg and George Lucas, are Karen Allen (reprising her role as Marion Ravenwood), Shia LaBeouf, Cate Blanchett and Ray Winstone.
"4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days" (unrated; for mature audiences): Cristian Mungiu's Romanian drama follows a college student (played by Anamaria Marinca), who tries to help her roommate (Laura Vasiliu) procure an illegal abortion.

"Mongol: The Rise of Genghis Khan" (R): Nominated for an Oscar, Sergei Bodrov's foreign-language film focuses on Temudgin, the Mongol warrior who would become Genghis Khan. Odnyam Odsuren plays him as a child, Tadanobu Asano as an adult.
"War, Inc." (R): John Cusack stars as a lone-wolf hit man in Joshua Seftel's high-adrenaline farce about America's occupation of Iraq and, by extension, U.S. interests in oil-rich nations.
