Katie and I recently had the opportunity to get away and go on a little date to the movies. We dropped Chase off with Grandma Julia, and we were off to the Jordan Commons to see the latest installment in the Indiana Jones trilogy+one (what do you call a series of four... a Quadrilogy maybe...).Those of you who read my blog of Randomness know that I love to review things, and consequently I cannot talk about anything entertainment wise without rating it, so I'm giving this movie an A-. Being a huge Indiana Jones fan, it was great for me to finally be able to see one of his films on the big screen. Words can hardly describe how excited I got when you first see Indy pick up the fedora and his theme song started playing. From that point on I was hooked and loved every minute of the film. There have been a lot of mixed reviews regarding the latest Indy flick, and to those of you who were critical of the plot all I have to say is that if you can accept that the arc of the covenant melts off peoples faces, crazy guys in India can rip your heart out, and the holy grail can keep you alive in a cave for like 1000 years, then nothing in this film should come to you as being unbelievable. I know that some critics of the film have pointed out that they miss the religious element from the previous films, but in response to that, I bet all the Mayans out there are happy that their story is finally getting told :)
Needless to say, Katie and I had a great time! We laughed at Indy's one liners, and at Mutt's constant mocking Indy for being old, and all around really enjoyed the movie (and the chance that we had to be on a date alone ;)
So, if you haven't seen Indy IV yet, go see it, you won't regret it!

I've been dying to see that movie, and I'm glad to hear a good review of it! My parents saw it, and my mom said it was campy, though a good campy. :)
