Indiana Jones

Every time a huge blockbuster comes out, mistakes are found. In fact, there’s an entire website dedicated to finding blunders in movies. And coming in at number one is Indiana Jones And The Kingdom Of The Crystal Skull.

Moviemistakes editor Jon Sandys says, "With the budget of many movies, you’d think they could avoid mistakes like this, or at least use computers to cover them up, but they keep cropping up, and eagle-eyed movie fans keep spotting them."

The full list of 2008’s continuity-challenged films is as follows:

1. Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull - 64 mistakes
2. Mamma Mia! - 44 mistakes
3. The Dark Knight - 43 mistakes
4. Twilight - 41 mistakes
5. High School Musical 3: Senior Year - 41 mistakes
6. Journey to the Center of the Earth - 31 mistakes
7. Quantum of Solace - 23 mistakes
8. Get Smart - 22 mistakes
9. Step Brothers - 22 mistakes
10. Iron Man - 21 mistakes

This reminds of the movie "Knocked Up" where the useless guys want to start a website that has the most boob shots. Hey, if they have the time to sit through a movie and pick out the mistakes, we are willing to read about it!

George Lucas is reportedly already at work on a fifth Indiana Jonesmovie. Harrison Ford says Lucas was so impressed with the success of last year’s The Kingdom Of The Crystal Skull that he can’t help but want to add to the franchise. Last year’s movie grossed over one billion dollars worldwide, and it’s expected to sell big when it comes out on DVD on October 14th. Harrison says of Lucas, “George is in think-mode right now.”

George tells Fox News, “I haven’t even told Steven or Harrison this, but I have an idea to make Shia the lead character next time and have Harrison come back like Sean Connery did in the last movie. I can see it working out.”

We don’t know how Harrison will feel about it, but Shia LaBeouf has proved he can definitely carry a film as the lead. What do you think of a fifth Indiana Jones movie happening?

Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull is an old school ride. The ride is just as much fun as the destination.

Harrison Ford is at it again as Indy, the swashbuckling hero that reminds us that not all heroes wear a cape or suit of armor. You know the movie is going to be great when the hero evades enemy spies, a double cross and oh yeah, a nuclear warhead and that's just in the first 10 minutes. In this installment, an older but still hell raising Indy has to deal with psychic Russians, an impetuous sidekick and a lost civilization that's more than it seems.

Shia LaBeouf channels the late Marlon Brando as a young Greaser without a Cause named Mutt. He enlists Indy's help in finding his kidnapped mom. Mutt has a chip on his shoulder that should come with branches, but eventually gives in to Indy's brains over brawn. Cate Blanchett as Irina Spalko finds a way to look attractive while sporting a pageboy haircut and a Russian accent.

Steven Spielberg wisely stuck to the formula that made the franchise...well, a franchise. There's no effort made to hide the fact that Indy is ready for AARP, as he reminds his friend Mac that "It's not as easy as it used to be." George Lucas wrote the script and stayed true to what made it successful by bringing back Karen Allen. Allen's Marion Ravenwood is the same spitfire she was 20 years ago in Raiders of the Lost Ark. Kudos to Spielberg for bringing her back in lieu of some fawning starlet that's a third of Ford's age.

The story gets a little convoluted at times unless you know a little about archeology. Also, you do have to look past a couple (dozen) continuity flaws like being completely dry seconds after coming out of the ocean. However, that's like turning down a supermodel because her nails aren't done.

Take away the unreal expectations of some fans who haven't seen Indy in twenty years and you come away feeling good about Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. The fedora still fits, the whip still cracks and you are once again taken on an amazing ride.
