GRITZ Movie Reviews: Indiana Jones Still Rocks

Posted: May 23, 2008

INDIANA JONES AND THE KINGDOM OF THE CRYSTAL SKULL


Yes, I am a fan. I must have seen Raiders of the Lost Ark a dozen times when it first hit theaters. Truth be told, my primary draw into Indy’s world was the fact that I had just gone through my Star Wars phase, and Harrison Ford had captivated my imagination as Han Solo. I went on to enjoy, like everyone else, all three of the original Indiana Jones epics, and had long since given up on there ever being another episode. Like the man said, never give up.

Jones is older, true. Maybe “seasoned” is a better word. Advance press comments were looking kind of bleak, but I learned a long time ago to never listen to critics.

I found Crystal Skull to be everything I ever loved about the Jones movies, tons of action, tons of bad guys (led by an absolutely awesome Cate Blanchett as a Ukrainian bee-atch.)

Karen Allen returns as Marion and drops a bomb on Jones that brings their history together full circle. I always thought Karen was a cute as a button, and as Marion, she kicks more ass than Sara Conner in Terminator. Shia LaBeouf (Transformers, Disturbia) is a standout as the young Brando-esque Mutt Williams, and makes a perfect sidekick for Indy.

Perhaps the most exciting element to me is the X-Files element of the powerful and mysterious crystal skulls and space aliens. That storyline had me at “hello.”

Forget the critics! This movie rocks. I enjoyed every minute. Thumbs up to Lucas and Spielberg!

THE CHRONICLES OF NARNIA: PRINCE CASPIAN


I can’t believe I am saying this, but this one is even better than the first one.

It’s been a single year back home in England for the kids, but when they step through a portal to return to Narnia, it has been over a thousand years, and all hell has broken loose. All of the fantasy creatures that ruled the land are all but extinct, and a dark lord rules the land, a man who attempts to murder the good and fair Prince Caspian.

The story line is awesome, the acting top drawer, and the effects primo. From the dwarves to the talking badger and mouse, to the centaurs and other fantasy creatures.

It’s a wonderful family movie, but for those of us whose children are now adults, it holds equal magic.

Oh, and Aslan rules.

FIVE STARS

The Crystal Skull rocked, Buff. After reading your review and Roger Ebert's yesterday, I went to see it and loved every minute. Made me feel 18 again.
