At The Movies With Dave in Texas

SO! Ace ain't the only guy around here that can give you a decent review of the flicks and stuff. I actually went out tonight and saw this thing and had dinner afterward so there.

Ok, actually he is the only one between the two of us that can give you a decent review. This one is worth a quarter or so.

Indiana Jones and the uh, Something Skull.

Yeah, it makes that kind of impression on you.

~~Some~~ a lot of (sorry), complete spoilers, so, you know...

Short version. Eh.

Long version. Action scenes decent enough but somewhat contrived. Drama between Indy and Marion: not there. Drama between Indy and his newfound son: not there. Drama between Indy and Evil Russky chick: Not there. Hell I think his best scene was with a monkey.

Plot: Goofy.

Dialogue: It sounds like I wrote it.

CGI: Expensive as all hell.

It's not that it sucked, per se, it's just that we wanted it to be, you know. Good.

It will make a bazillion dollars.
