MOVIE REVIEWS....

Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull

OK, if your an Indiana Jones fan, it won't matter what the adventure is, you'll like the movie.
Even if this adventure has a clear, lucite, misshapen skull stuffed with Saran wrap.
George Lucas would have been better prepared if he had read the Book of Mormon and had Korihor come out of the temple and been a character rather than aliens. My family gave it a "eh..." review.
And Indiana's son Shia LeBouf (Sp??), he was fantastic according to my girls. There will be sequels with him in them.

Iron Man

This was a surprising movie. First, I didn't know that Robert Downey Jr was the star... not too much of a fan since he's a drug user, but he's still cute. Then the first 45 minutes of the movie, I didn't know if I was in the right movie. I asked Joe several times if we went into the wrong theater. Lots of violence, NOT a good movie for anyone under 16. If you skip the first 45, then maybe young teens would be ok. I don't like intense, it was intense. Then by the end, I started loving the movie....can't wait til the sequels, and there will be sequels.

HINT: DO NOT LEAVE until all the credits have scrolled by. That's all I'll tell you.

NARNIA

I loved this movie best of all! All the same characters, only one year older. The kids go back to Narnia to find things aren't the same, they still find the lion, but Mr. Tumnus is long gone, that was sad. That wicked ice queen makes an appearance.... she scares me. Prince Caspian is a good guy, his uncle.... not a good guy. There will be more sequels, but it sounds like the two older kids have out lived their Narnia days, they're imaginations are going. There is ONE kissing scene. Alot of sighs in the audience. All from my girls. Beautiful scenery throughout the movie too.

More reviews coming all summer long.......................

Hey - The Mero's updated!! :-) Thanks for the movie reviews and update. Just as a side fact, I heard Robert Downey, Jr, turned his life around. He was mentioned in a Stake Conference talk or Sac. mtg talk recently about changing his life and how he had been "clean" for like three years now and has a wife now. Don't know for sure, but thought I'd pass it along.
