Indy

I grew up watching all the Indiana Jones movies, so of course I had to see the new one when it came out. Last night they even had a showing in English on it's opening night! So 7 of us went to the english showing......at 11pm! We were dragging ourselves into bed at 1:30am....zzzzzzz

Overall - it's a 2-thumbs up for the 4th Indy flick! I think 'Lost Ark' and 'Last Crusade' were the best, but this new one's a fun romp as usual. The crystal skull is a little kooky, but the whole thing is filmed in a light-hearted spirit - playing off old-Hollywood chase scenes, Indy's hat, etc. If you watch it as a movie where everybody's just out to have fun, literally even the directors, then you'll enjoy it.

Honestly, this iconic film character started me on a long-standing dream to do archeology myself. However, after a few days of brushing away dirt in the heat finding only shards of oil lamps, sketching hundreds of finds in the Israel Museum and Rockefeller Museum, and dozing through weeks of archaeological slide shows.....yep, that did me in. Thank goodness I did lots of other things during my four months in Israel back in '98!
