Indiana Jones and the Midnight Show

Tim Karth, Abby Bordak and Andrew Bernier ready for the big night |
Well, the time was 11 p.m. on a Wednesday night and I should have been home in bed reading a good book, instead I was making my way to the South Shore Cinema for the midnight showing of Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, the fourth installment in the series.
My darling son, Andrew, dragged me along with his friends (as part of my Mother's Day gift) to experience the splendor of Harrison Ford (ok, he didn't have to drag too hard).
The movie is over and was well worth the price of admission to any Indy fan. Just hearing the music does it for me. I love that they allowed Indiana to get older and the female lead isn't young enough to be his granddaughter. The story takes place in the 1950s with the fear of Communism, the Russians and the threat of nuclear war. Some scenes may seem a tad familiar, but they still work. There's a lot of little inside jokes from previous movies and the dialog and mannerisms are pure Jones. I may even go see this again this weekend.
Bottom Line: "It's not the years, honey, it's the mileage." ~ Indiana Jones to Marion in Raiders of the Lost Ark.

I'm so there this weekend! I love Indy! I'm really glad Karen Black is in this. I'm hoping her role is more than just a blip on the screen. Bounce! I can't wait to treat myself to an afternoon movie!

I saw it at midnight, too! If it weren't for the group of kids sitting behind us ragging on it the whole time, it would have been great. The movie was fantastic!

Ok, I was hoping no one would notice how tired I was at the end of the movie. I'm sure the fact that it was 2:20 a.m. had nothing to do with it.
I need one of those video camera's with the special lenses that make you look 20 years younger. :)

My grandson & I saw this Tues night at a pre-screening and he really liked it, I don't think he has seen the other Indy movies. I enjoyed it as well. Never a dull moment with Indy, :)

. I know my dh will be off to see it this weekend. He had a rough week with me in the hospital so he deserves a night of Indy madness. Glad to hear it was a fun movie. And I am glad they didn't "Bondize " him young women. Harrison Ford is one of those movie stars who has been able to find roles that allow him to age- Loved him in 7 Days and Nights with Ann Heach (sp?).

We're doing a marathon this afternoon to watch the first 3, so we can go see it tonight. Because we wouldn't want to enjoy one of the first nice days of the year by spending it outside. Indy trumps sunshine any day.

Hi Ya Barbara, We were in MPLS and saw the movie with friends. We liked it! And you are so right - I love seeing a "mature" good looking man and his true love getting together! Fun, fun, fun!! And the popcorn was fresh too!
