Five things you should know about the new Indiana Jones:

I can’t believe none of my friends (with the exception of Pete) were as excited for this as I was.  SHAME.

1. It’s better than Temple of Doom (which I rank behind Raiders of the Lost Ark and The Last Crusade, in that order).

2. Shia LaBeouf is surprisingly good. Karen Allen is not. Cate Blanchette, unsurprisingly, blows everybody else away.

3. Russian Communists are the new Nazis.

4. It is a science fiction movie, which I think is fantastic but the majority of the reviews I’ve read think is anything but.

5. Harrison Ford
A. is 65 years old.
B. does all of his own stunts.
C. still makes me fantasize about the day I will meet him, hit it, and never quit it.
D. All of the above.

    That’s more like 9 things, but agreed. This is basically a passable Spielberg film (not his best, not nearly his worst)...
