Kingdom of What?

Sure, Temple of Doom was one thing, Georgy and Stevie. I know I should be taking this with a handful serving of Sodium Chloride, but just what were you smoking this time?

Although the ants scene and the bike were kind of cool, only two notable things in the movie were Karen Allen (Is she always like that?) and Cate Blanchett. Now is there anything that babe can't do right?

Maybe I am harsh and nostalgic. But give me the Indy of Raiders of Lost Ark anytime. They don't make movies like those anymore. :Sigh:

Of Sequels and Originals

One of my favorite movie reviewer said this about Ocean's Thirteen -

Ocean's Thirteen is the first sequel of the summer of 2007 not to fall on its face.

Even though I have not yet watched this number 13, I wouldn't place my bets on lucky number 3. Especially after that last week's movie marathon, when I watched Spider Man 3, Shrek 3 and Pirates of the Caribbean - At World's End back to back to back (well almost).

How I hope this sequel doesn't disappoint me now that I have spent a good $20 on it :-)

While we are on the term disappointment, even though I love my iPod and am considering a Macbook strongly because how I feel about Mac OS-X, Apple and Mr Jobs, I am praying that all this hoopla doesn't create a large bubble (possibly largest in this decade) only to be burst very shortly after June 29. Call me pessimistic, but after a summerful of disappointment, when that summer is yet to start in certain parts of US, I am little apprehensive. That's all.
