Harrison Ford still has it

I had this grand idea placed in my head that I would get ahead with my schoolwork and manage to write three blog entries for my journalism class, all today.  However, I forget the details half the time, and with everything going on, I didn't get to write them.  Even last night, I was so tired that I fell asleep before I even got to write what I planned, which was a review.  So because of that, I am going to shift everything forward.  Last night, I got to see Indiana Jones and the Legend of the Crystal Skull.  I was really looking forward to it, mainly because I've been in love with Harrison Ford ever since I saw Star Wars: A New Hope.  I was not really aware of everything that came before this film, so when watching it, I was slightly clueless.  My time at DenofGeek.com prepared me somewhat, though, so I knew enough to understand a lot of it.  That's the beauty of this film, though.  You don't have to know the rest of the story before you see this!  Everything in it is fantastic, and while sometimes it seems a little mediocre and like any other action movie, you get proven wrong by something else that comes along.  Even Cate Blanchett's fake Ukraine accent didn't bother me as much as I thought it would.  The story was a great adventure that I would like to see over and over again.  I have this urge now to go and buy the rest of the series on DVD, even though every single store out there is trying to cash in on this and are charging as much as a new movie.  I hate when movie stores do that.  Whenever I'd scrounge through the older movie section at FYE, I'd stop after I glanced at the prices.  I know a lot of films are classic, but charging $25 for a movie that came out seventy years ago is just ridiculous, especially since I can see them for free from a library.  I really need to find some kind of shop that has excellent movies for a cheap price.  I'd be there frequently.

So go see this movie if you are in the mood for a fun ride through South America.  It's got everything you need, including the infamous Indy theme song.  That's what makes the movie so good.  The blend of the new and the old.
