Indiana Jones, part-time teacher

Indiana Jones, part-time teacher.

Watched Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull with the Beloved last friday. And I must say it was fun! But the ending did feel a bit odd to me, as if it was out of place even if I had an inkling it was going to turn out that way. There was also the whole chase scene that felt a bit too drawn out for me despite it having moments that are really memorable.

Knee crush! Bushes! Swings!

But I must say Harrison Ford has still got it. And it shows that despite being adventurous, he has aged. He stumbles, he falls, he misses. But it makes a point that he can still outrun fast pygmies(?) and run like there’s no tomorrow.

Also I feel the whole movie is peppered with references to the past 3 ones that I completely forgot, so I may need to rewatch them again– which isn’t really a bad thing.

All in all, an okay and fun movie despite its shortcomings.

Iron Man

Okay, seriously, I think I may need help. I watched this movie for the 3rd time already (last seen it this evening) and damn, I still don’t get tired of watching it. There’s also that 50/50 chance of watching it with a friend, but that’s still just a possibility.

And yes, it’s that good!

I must stop fangirling now…

Stark with his suit

Watched Iron Man last night with the Beloved and dayum! No words can explain how completely floored I am by it. In my limited vocabulary, all I could keep saying around people is that “no words can fully express how the movie is completely made of win and all kinds of awesome!”

For lack of a better description, I walked away out of the theatre feeling so cheerful and awesome.

I am not really familiar of the Iron Man mythos. I only know about the character because of the Beloved, who kept lending me copies of his comic books, and from short references from the animated TV series from old. Though I am not a raving fan, the movie has created one in me. And a skipping and jumping one at that.

I somehow knew from the beginning that Robert Downey Jr was the perfect Tony Stark. Sorry, He IS Stark. Not once do you doubt him in the movie, confident and snarky. The rest of the cast isn’t that all bad either. And they are a perfect complement to Stark’s profile. One thing I also loved about the movie, are the realistic physics of the things happening– From the impact of the sonic boom to the high altitude problems one may encounter when flying. And of course, the endearing fire-dousing robot. smiley

And oh! Stay for the end credits! smiley

All in all, a great and awesome movie. Highly recommended! And yes, I’m still at a loss for words.
