Finally got around to seeing the latest Indiana Jones movie this weekend. Pretty good in a Indy meets X-Files kind of way. My lady really liked it. I think it was when Indy climbed into the fridge to escape the nuclear explosion and was blasted into the air and survived the landing, that I decided that arensb was right about this being an even numbered Indy movie. So, it was a bit overly camp but still fun. The only really oddity to me that didn't really seem to add anything was the McCarthism. The FBI comes in, says he's under suspicion, he loses his position, and goes on a trip. Gives him a great excuse to go off adventuring. Except Mutt shows up as he is about to leave and he goes off on a different trip, which he proabably would have gone on even if he was still teaching. After that, the whole angle is basically dropped.

So, of the three that were on my list, I've seen Ironman and Indy. Prince Caspian has left the theaters, so I guess I'll catch that on DVD. Of course, with summer coming there are actually three more on my list now: The Incredible Hulk, WALL-E, and Kung Fu Panda. Oh, and the latest Batman will be out soon. Not sure about Journey to the Center of the Earth. Didn't even realize that was coming out until I saw the trailer this weekend.

review, movie
