On May 22, the adventure will continue when Harrison Ford reprises his title role and teams up with Shia LaBeouf as Mutt Wiliams (Mutt? Really?) in search of what else, the Crystal Skull.
What is the Crystal Skull? Your guess is as good as mine. But according to Wikipedia, as models of the human skull made entirely of quartz, crystal skulls are believed by some to have supernatural powers, including healing.
While the trailer gives us little insight into the plot of the movie, it is no less exciting. I, for one, am looking forward to seeing Jones swing back into action (literally if you watch the trailer) regardless of the specific plot. After all, I haven’t been disappointed by Indiana Jones to date.
Also returning for the fourth installment in the Indiana Jones franchise is Karen Allen as Marion Ravenwood, Jones’ squeeze from the first movie.
Joining the cast is Cate Blanchett as Agent Irina Spalko. Could she be a love interest for LaBeouf or a force to be reckoned with? Also making an appearance is John Hurt as Abner Ravenwood. Isn’t that Marion’s dead dad?
Missing from the film are Jones’s dad Henry (Sean Connery) and curator Dr. Marcus Brody (Denholm Elliott), according to imdb.com. Let’s hope the additions can make of for these absences because Henry and Brody will be missed.
Although the parentage of LaBeouf’s character is still being debated (a Variety article says yes, a Vanity Fair article says no), you have to wonder if the name Mutt is a reference to Indy being named after a dog.
I just recently rewatched the trilogy with my aunt who had never seen the movies. The Last Crusade remains my favorite film. But after seeing the trailer, I have hopes of Crystal Skull. May can’t get here soon enough.
After two nights, 24 performances and 28 million votes, American Idol held its first elimination of the semifinals with no real surprises in the results.
The guys knocked their numbers down to 10 by eliminating Leif Garrett Haley and Colton Berry. Both sang their farewell songs. And I actually think I preferred Garrett’s swan song to his performance Tuesday. But maybe that’s just because I liked the hat.
I was a little startled that Danny Noriega wasn’t in the bottom tier, but then I realized that he’s the new Sanjaya. Hopefully Danny’s run in this title will be short lived. I’m not sure I’m going to be able to handle many more weeks of performances like Tuesday’s “Jailhouse Rock.”
With so many mediocre performances from the women Wednesday night, a handful of the ladies could have been up for the bottom two spots.
Since Amy Davis and Joanne Borgella’s song choices for the ‘60s both landed them in the lower echelon, their departure was believable. If you had any doubts that these two should stick to modeling, their final performances erased them.
In general I’m a little worried about the women. They were literally following apart after the eliminations were announced. If they are bawling this hard after the first round, are they going to make it to the Top 12?
The group number was nothing impressive, but I liked the look. Hair and makeup must have worked overtime. That’s the best we seen some of the contestants look.
And finally, I must end with a complaint (‘cause I’ve been so positive thus far). I thought I was watching American Idol, not Relauch Paula’s Career.
I can live with the fact that she’s a judge and the producer of her new song is also a judge for a show with a ready audience. But if she’s going to showcase her new song, the least she could have done is perform it live.
She sits in judgment (if that’s what you call what she does) of all of these contestants telling them that they have to bring their very best to the table for every performance and she hides behind a taped performance. What kind of example is she setting?
And just for the record, I wasn’t impressed with the song or the video.
