The Much-Anticipated Dr. Jones Movie - I have yet to watch the Internet trailer on this inevitable blockbuster, but let me say it now: Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull is the most relevant movie since Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith.

Revenge of the Sith is the most relevant movie in the past 31 years and counting, since Star Wars basically, because it answers pertinent questions about cinema's greatest villain, Darth Vader.

Since Revenge of the Sith's release, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull carries a distinction of penultimate relevance with respect to Revenge of the Sith by simple virtue of being an Indiana Jones movie. While The Bourne Ultimatum is perhaps the single-best movie since George Lucas' last Jedi adventure, it does not come close to achieving the mystique and the sheer wonder of the Indiana Jones franchise. The Harry Potter movies don't either. Sorry J. K. Rowling. While I love watching Mr. Potter's exploits and the quick edits that make Ultimatum Ultimatum, I have to say those movies don't measure up to Dockta Jones running around in his famed fedora, cracking his whip as he chases the latest fortune and glory.

Plus, Steven Spielberg directed, and George Lucas played a major part in the story development, famously holding out until he got his coveted McGuffin, which I can only assume for now is a crystal skull. Yes, I read the Vanity Fair article about the production. Kate Blanchett appears, and Karen Allen is back (without any plastic surgery). Thank goodness someone in Hollywood has sense.

Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull will be a romp, an absolute must-see. How could it not be good? If you are under the age of 30 and you don't believe what I'm writing then I feel sorry for you. You won't appreciate what's about to happen because you haven't lived long enough to witness such a phenomenon in the appropriate context.
