"Next week, Vin Diesel returns (along with Paul Walker, Michelle Rodriguez and Jordanna Brewster) to the Fast and the Furious franchise, which he’d abandoned after the first movie (he did have a cameo in part 3). When news first hit that he’d be reprising the role of Dominic Toretto for the fourth installment, simply titled Fast & Furious, most of us saw the actor as returning under a veil of shame. Because he initially departed the series with an inflated ego — and with it unrealistic salary demands — it does seem obvious that Diesel is now only desperately crawling back because his career failed to take off the way he’d hoped it would. This is quite sad considering not even Steve Guttenberg ever crawled back to the

"In preparation for the fourth movie, and because I got a review copy of the new DVD box-set of the films, I watched all three of the original Indiana Jones movies, Raiders of the Lost Ark, The Temple of Doom and The Last Crusade. Since I watch them on a somewhat regular basis (probably about once a year) these movies have aged with me, meaning my perception of them isn’t so much colored by the years as they develop in a similar way as children. Raiders still winds up being the best of the batch, which Temple of Doom coming off not as bad as conventional wisdom now paints it as being. Crusade, though, is now impossible to watch as anything other than the beginning of the end for George Lucas. There are more outright sight-gags and more moments that he probably giggled over but which didn’t wind up being nearly as funny on-screen as he thought they were going to be. (Basically anything involving Marcus Brody, a character that I actually physically feel bad for since in this movie ... "

"It took me awhile, but last week I finally saw Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. And to agree with many others, I think it features a few too many ludicrous moments. Yet the most outlandish, in my opinion, is the scene in which Indy and Marion seem to reenact His Girl Friday in about four seconds while riding in the back of a truck. I know it’d been awhile, both for them and for us, but I prefer a little more bickering, a little more holding back in comedy of remarriage plots. Anyway, we knew a long time ago, thanks to Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, that Indy and Marion didn’t last long together after the end of Raiders of the Lost Ark. So, I didn’t really care if they ended up together at the end of Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, either. It’s probable they still wouldn’t last. And I think the same often with other unlikely movie couples at the end of their respective films. Fortunately, a number of sequels tell us outright that the romance of the first film f ... "

"This is not going to be one of those columns that goes into a lengthy diatribe about the influence on Dr. Indiana Jones had on this reviewer’s life as a child. I refuse to prattle on about owning a fedora and a bullwhip used to scare the bejeezus out of the family dog, or the backyard films created as homage to “Raiders of the Lost Ark” and the countless scars and bruises that serve as a testament to my inexperience and/or stupidity in attempts to replicate the adventures of the intrepid archeologist. It seems that the prerequisite in reviewing this latest installment in the Indiana Jones canon, “Kingdom of the Crystal Skull” has almost every critic launching into some wistful rant on its impact of his/her life. And while I am certainly one to appreciate the personal power of cinematic experiences, I think this self-indulgent therapy session approach is a tad tiresome now.

"With the fourth installment of the adventure series, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, hitting theaters in a week, there’s too much debate going on as to the real-life relevance of Dr. Jones. Is he a crook, as was suggested last month? Or is he a model archaeologist, enough to be granted leading membership into the Archaeological Institute of America? Apparently Indiana Jones portrayer Harrison Ford has been elected to the AIA’s board of directors, as a way of honoring the fact that his iconic character has “played a major part in stimulating interest in the field of archaeological exploration.” Yet in the same week, ABC News has another report on how archaeologists view the guy most associated with their profession. And somehow one member of the Archaeological Institute is quoted as contradicting the organization’s inclusion of Ford as a member. Mark Rose, AIA’ "

"There it is, the real thing, Marty McFly’s actual hover board from Back to the Future Part II. Or it’s one of them, at least. The woman staffing the Comic-Con booth full of drool-worthy Hollywood artifacts informed me that the prop department made several hover boards, of which this is only one of several originals. They’ve sold a few before. She seemed confident that the sale would land between the $30,000 to $50,000 estimated cost, if not exceed it. Sure, it doesn’t actually work as a hover board (my eight-year-old self is still waiting on that one) but it’s still very real, in another way. Comic-Con is truly an adolescent hedonist’s feast, but almost everything is simulated in one way or another. From big-budget Hollywood remakes of classic comics to the scintillating tease of 2-D cleavage displayed on innumerable posters and comic covers, to cutesy bobble-head versions of even the most bad-ass super heroes, it actually came as a surprise to see something genuine. That thing is ... "

"The thing I love about YouTube is that you can usually find what you’re looking for even if you don’t know it exists. Case in point: I wanted to find a clip of Hulk Hogan acting like The Incredible Hulk, and I found this gem of an action sequence from the Hulkster’s 1989 movie No Holds Barred. I guess I was one of the few people who missed this when it arrived in theaters just one week after Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, but it was a busy time for action movies (who knew that 1989 was so much like 2008? You had Indy, Batman and Hulk all in the same summer!*) and despite opening at #2, the movie finished #64 for the year. This weekend’s big opener, The Incredible Hulk, will likely fare better, though it similarly won’t be able to top the grosses of

"Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade is probable the best Indiana Jones movie out of all of them (out of all of the old ones that is, have not seen the new one). The Last Crusade has lots of action, mean bad guys, and a story that is told in a very well thought out way.The way the movie starts out with Indiana and a kid and his first adventure that made him who he is as an adult was genius. From the snakes, to the adventure, to the whip, and the famous hat, you learn the background story of Indiana Jones. Also the research and following the clues was something that I think was missing from The Temple of Doom, and makes scenes more thought provoking and exciting. The final tasks Indiana Jones must overcome, required quick thinking to avoid the traps, to get the greatest treasure of all the Holy Grail. Their is just something about this movie that makes it extremely entertaining, and has that timeless value that many movies will never have. This movie also has great replay value, its o ... "

"The wind blows northeast failing miserably in its attempt to offer even the slightest relief from the scorching sun above. The sweat drips profusely from my hurting head here as I remain in the confines of almost deafening silence for what has now been 159 days. Too long some have said; too long. As much as I would like to voice my hatred of this I'm afraid I ashamedly cannot. It was my decision after all, but perhaps the wrong one. It is now though I make another. It is now as I hold in my hand a particular perforated souvenir I know it is time. Ah yes, time indeed. Ladies and gentleman, I present to you this ever so special piece: JP Paxton and the Review That Wasn't Suppose to be Written.It was the summer of 1981 and one of the most recognizable characters in film had been introduced to the world sporting a fedora, leather jacket, pistol, & of course a ten foot bullwhip. His name: Henry Walton Jones, Jr. better known as Indiana Jones. Played then by a thirty-eight year old H ... "

"Indiana Jones’ adventures may be both work-related and dangerous, but you know he’s having fun. And now you can experience some of that fun thanks to Expedia. The travel company has planned ten different vacations inspired by the four Indiana Jones films, including this summer’s Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, of course, plus the series The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles. It’s doubtful that you’ll run into any Nazis or booby traps or any other sort of trouble, but considering you’re not Indy, you’re better off as safe as possible. Expedia has itineraries in nine countries, including the U.S., in which a trip to the Southwest is tied into the Young Indy prologue of Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. Other vacations related to Last Crusade include Italy (specifically Venice) and Jordan. The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles inspired a trip to Mexico, Raiders of the Lost Ark has inspired trips to Peru, Egypt and Nepal,
