Harrison Ford—
Extraordinary Measures
—01/08/10
I was fascinated by Sky King, until I went to the studio one day with my Dad and met a pudgy little man, who didn’t fit my image of Sky King. But I think that tweaked my interest in the whole business of show business.
K-19: The Widowmaker (2002)
Hollywood Homicide (2003)
Firewall (2006)
Play[s] it safe...to sit through this home-invasion scenario yet again, I think we're owed a dead kid. Or at least a contusion. Maybe lightly stun the dog? Toss us a bone here!
Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (1989)
The eventual arrival of towering screen presence Sean Connery as Dr. Henry Jones, Sr. alongside Harrison Ford as Dr. Henry Jones, Jr. allows for what may be adventure cinema's most potent pairing.
Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom (1984)
If it was a sign of the times for Indiana Jones to take on more of a comic-book aspect, the film's accomodation of darker themes and explicit imagery came as something of a shock to many.
Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981)
The postmodern heir to
North By Northwest...
like any deathless classic,
Raiders
is a perfect marriage of star and material.
The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles (a.k.a. The Adventures of Young Indiana Jones) (1992)
Approached with an open mind,
The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles
offers an intriguing angle on one of the greatest characters in modern cinema.
Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (2008)
George Lucas adopted a new mantra: 'It's only a movie, it's only a movie, it's only a movie.' And he's right. It'll certainly do for a Friday night. But to...fans, the 1980s films are more than movies.
Patriot Games (1992)
Ford gives one of his most commanding performances outside of a Lucas production, establishing an action formula Ford would repeat...
Air Force One (1997)
[An] unabashedly jingoistic action extravaganza starring Harrison Ford as...'The Ass-Kicking President'...
Extraordinary Measures (2010)
Predictable and, in the end, embarrassingly sappy...[but] does touch on some interesting points about the ethics of drug trials and approvals, the entrepreneurial spirit, and the challenges of doing important work that isn’t a sure thing...
Frantic (1988)
Curiously and effectively weds the unlikely adventure of a thriller to the plodding realism of daily life...
Presumed Innocent (1990)
As moody mysteries go, the courtroom drama
Presumed Innocent
is among the moodiest.
Morning Glory (2010)
Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues (2013)
Had me at 'Ride Like the Wind.' But by 'Shilo,' I was not so sure.
The Expendables 3 (2014)
It's a bit like watching old friends drunkenly mud wrestle: it's good to see them, but not like this.
Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015)
[SPOILER-FREE] Can be dimwittedly obvious and self-plagiarizing, with little of real-world consequence and less that’s new to say [but it's still] a fun-filled adventure at the movies...
Blade Runner 2049 (2017)
A strange and beautiful beast indeed,
Blade Runner 2049
is a science-fiction epic for adults, somehow released in 2017...
Blade Runner 2049
dreams big.
