"Our Take" On And The Kingdom Of The Crystal Skull'!
We are back from a late morning matinee seeing the new 'Indiana Jones' film. Tina, my pre-teen son, and myself are ready with 'Our Take' for our blog readers! Tina's Take: If you're nostalgic for Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark, you'll treasure this new Indiana Jones movie. Why, if you keep a sharp eye out, you'll even catch a glimpse of the Ark! Lucas draws heavily on the first, (and best), of the previous films with Ruskies subbing for Nazis, plenty of riddles, and confusing legends. He even brings back Marian, and Indy get to say everyone's favorite line, "Snakes, I hate snakes!" Some of the most exciting scenes play homage to the first film. There's a long chase scene with Indy and his new side-kick jumping in and out of various vehicles. Indy battles a senseless brute in a circle reminiscent of the fight behind the propeller plane that ended so badly for his opponent in the earlier movie. If you love Indy - and Harrison Ford is terrific - you'll love this movie! Score: 8.5 Michael's pre-teen son's Take: Indiana Jones & Kingdom... was a really great movie. It would be better if you viewed all three first, before seeing this one. It was a lot better than the all the other Indiana Jones movies to me, and it would keep you in suspense. My favorite scene was with the monkeys! Score 9.5 Michael's Take: This film was like revisiting an 'old friend' for me! The opening scene 'dated' the movie for me in the mid 1950's and was picture and song perfect for that time. The storyline was actually very well written, and I felt that Indy himself was updated very well, and that it was recognized that this was still a 'period piece', but set in the Days of the Red Scare of the 50's, instead of the Nazis era. This film actually seemed more 'real' to me as the 1950's is one of my favorite decades. (Continued Next Column....)

(Continued From First Column....) Some critics have panned the film, but I for one enjoyed not seeing everything in CGI format that is rampant today. The film was more 'realistic' to me, and the background subject matter was one I enjoy. So as not to spoil it for you, I won't go into that topic, but suffice to say that the first Indy Film and this one complement each other very well! I wasn't as excited waiting to see this Indiana Jones Film as I was waiting for the Iron Man film to debut, BUT this Indy Film needs to be seen on the BIG Screen first IMHO before the DVD comes out!
