“We created Indiana Jones, but it belongs to the world,” - Steven Spielberg.
Indiana Jones is not your typical superhero - the one in tights and flies. But he is a classic hero, by all counts. Although certainly much older, Indiana is still the timeless adventure hero. And, he is just too ’super’ for this fan to pass over. So, in time for the fourth installment of Indiana Jones, I will cover the new Indiana Jones movie as much as I can.
It literally has been 19 years since the last adventure, and Harrison Ford is back as Indiana Jones in the new Lucasfilm Ltd. feature “Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull“. This time, Indy is a much older, if not wiser man, but who still craves adventure as if it were his first.
When Harrison Ford returned to the role, even director Steven Spielberg caught the excitement and nostalgia of the classic.
“To see Harrison walk on the set, pick up the whip, snap it and wrap it around one of the bad guys was pretty incredible,” he says. “It was amazing to see how fast Harrison was with it - and then be on the set to see Indy’s rucksack and his other props … well, it wasn’t just nostalgia. That was when I realized that we were bringing this character and everything he’s about back to the audience that grew up with him, as well as to new audiences.”
And this new film IS dedicated to the fans. We all thought we had seen the last of Indiana when he rode off into the sunset in the third movie, “Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade.” But Ford called Spielberg and executive producer co-writer George Lucas about doing one more film. That certainly got the ball rolling, but it took 19 years, and Indiana getting older, before the script could be perfected - one that was up to the standards of the first three movies.
So we can very much expect that “Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull” will be filled with the same great adventures.
Catch the “Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull” adventure on May 22, 2008.

Smallville season 8 will introduce Superman’s undefeated enemy, the formidable, unstoppable destroyer DOOMSDAY! Doomsday was created in Krypton’s distant past, when only the brutally strong survived. Comic fans will never forget the day he killed Superman.
But Doomsday isn’t the only enemy Clark will be facing. A new female villain will rise up in season 8, someone “gorgeous, brilliantly manipulative, and dangerously sinister”. Her mutual attraction with Clark may prove as deadly as kryptonite for him.
Executive producers are tight-lipped about the identity of this female nemesis and they are still casting.
For seven years we have not known any other Lex Luthor except him. Michael made the character sink deeper into evil like no other scheming, manipulative, deceptive villain on television. But today, that familiar face in Smallville is about to exit.
Today, Michael Rosenbaum shares his goodbye letter, thanking fans and Smallville for seven wonderful years.
Hayden Panettiere may be filming “I Love You, Beth Cooper” but she her mind is on Heroes.
On the Vancouver set of her comedy film “Beth”, Hayden took time to tell reporters how excited she is about going back to Heroes this May. The script of the first episode is full of action, and packed with cliff hangers.
“You read it and you go, ‘they’ve figured out how to do it! They’ve figured out how to go back to the first season to make it even more exciting and entertaining. They’ve learned the concoction to make it great!”
That’s what all the fans are waiting to hear! Bring us back to season 1 where we can’t help but talk about Heroes to everyone, and we’re on the edge of our seats waiting for the next week to come. Season 2, despite all the hype, turned out to be such a disappointment. Fans know, Tim Kring knew, the writers knew - season 2 lost its mojo.
But now it’s time to dust our sandals and get back in the game.
The Chronicles of Narnia is a classic collection of chidren’s stories. But the chronicles are classics for good reason: They are wonderful stories that are also morality tales. They entertain as they teach.
In this second movie, Prince Caspian, the Pevensie children (Peter, Susan, Edmond, Lucy) are back in London and a year has passed. But the world of Narnia has become darker and more chaotic and more than a thousand years have passed. Someone has summoned the children back.
Here is a trailer as narrated by Prince Caspian himself (Ben Barnes).
Robert Downey, Jr., the star of the new movie “Iron Man” talks to Letterman on a variety of interesting topics - opening the Stock Exchange, getting his son a weird summer job, and Jon Favreau’s cameos in the movie… and of course, the movie. Downey is funny!
Buzz about the Iron Man movie from those who were privy to its premiere showing are all saying it lives up to its hype. I admit I wasn’t too excited when I first heard about it. But as I watched the trailers and followed the previews and interviews, I am now psyched about this movie!
The movie is directed by Jon Favreau, who might have well been Iron Man’s biggest fan, from the way he talks about the movie in this behind-the-scene. He is definitely a comics fan, and maybe more specifically a Marvel Comics fan.
“When Marvel sets out to make a movie, their priority’s a little bit different. They’re servicing a fanbase. They’re protecting the source material. They are the keepers of this pantheon of characters that have made the corporation profitable over the last whatever it is, 40 years, and they’ve built it to this merchandising empire.” - Jon Favreau
