    Tig Notaro: Hello Again

    ★★★½

    An American Christmas Carol

    ★★½

    It’s the season to watch such things so I ventured in because this Christmas tale had Henry Winkler.

    Timeless Heroes: Indiana Jones & Harrison Ford

    ★★★★

    I was so pleased that Laurent Bouzereau was doing this doc. The director has made some of the best supplemental materials, especially for Steven Spielberg films, during the heyday of DVD extras. 

    His knowing hand crafted a great complement to his 2003 Indiana Jones: Making the Trilogy. There is abundant unseen footage from behind the scenes and some very good interview clips as well. 

    The focus here is Harrison Ford but nice moments are included for Spielberg and Lucas and…
