Indiana Jones is back!

I just got back from watching the latest (and I am guessing final), installment in the Indiana Jones movies.

Yes it was great.

Harrison Ford has definitely slowed down a bit (It was pretty obvious when the stunt double was on screen), but his charm and charisma were still firmly in place.

I liked seeing Karen Allen back because there was such good chemistry between her and Ford, and that lucky little shit Shia LeBeouf held up his end of the bargain as well.

Endless mobs of bad guys meeting their often humorous ends, a constant stream of near misses and close calls, the hat, the whip, it was just a hell of a good ride.

Do yourself a favor and go see it. You won't be disappointed.

  1. I'm always up for another Indiana Jones. Maybe like James Bond, they will come up with a younger actor to carry on with the theme.

    But what was it I saw on a news scroll today -- something about the Communist Party denouncing the movie because they felt it would re-ignite the cold war. WHAT are they ragging on about?

  2. Well it is set in 1957 so they could not use the Nazi's as the bad guys.

    Cate Blanchett plays the female KGB bad ass. (Think a slimmer, sexier Hillary Clinton with a Russian accent. I mean the woman is almost unstoppable!)

    Anyhow I doubt this will cause a renewal of the Cold War anymore then seeing Rambo will reignite the Vietnam war, or watching an old John Wayne movie will make us want to attack Japan again.
