indy's back! part 2

... there we were, in our seats, treats in hand, waiting for the lights to dim and the adventure to begin. We were emotional ready, physically prepared and nothing was going to dampen our spirits. An hour and a half later, when the house lights went up, there we were staring at the big screen as the credits rolled by. All of us frozen in our seats afraid to admit what we were feeling. I hate to say it because I feel like I'm some sort of traitor, but Indiana Jones and The Crystal Skull was quite a disappointment. Don't get me wrong, it was entertaining, but the plot and character development was weak. And this is coming from someone who isn't a big movie critic. So, Curtis, Paul, Alison and I then headed to Cafe Sabor for dinner. As we were walking in, Alison expressed that she did not feel fulfilled by our recent movie experience. We all reluctantly agreed. Well, there's only one thing to do in a case like this. Get fulfilled! Get that movie experience we were expecting. So after we ate, we went back to the theater and saw Prince Caspian. And we got exactly what we needed. It was great! This was a first for me. The only time I've ever seen two movies in a single day at the theater has been at the drive-in. If this has taught me anything, it's that I shouldn't give up until I get what I want. Two thumbs up for Prince Caspian! One sideways thumb for Indiana Jones. Well, there you have it.

Wow I agree about the sideways thumb for Indianna Jones. Yes, it was entertaining, but I've never heard more canned dialogue in my life! Good thing Prince Caspian was there to save the day!... speaking of drive-ins, when is this weather going to get warm so we can go to one?
