Emile Hirsch stars as Speed, Christina Ricci as Trixie, and Mathew Fox as Racer X.

Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull


Release Date: May 22nd 2008

Director: Steven Spielberg (Raiders, Jaws, Every great movie from your childhood)The Buzz:



Steven Spielberg directs the fourth installment of the Indiana Jones series. Harrison Ford is back, and so is Karen Allen as Marion Ravenwood. New to the production is Cate Blanchett as the bad girl, John Hurt as ??? and Shia LaBeouf as Indy’s greaser sidekick. Not much can be said about the storyline, as it is being kept tightly under wraps. George Lucas has said that Crystal Skull is more in tone with Raiders than any other film in the series. This makes us excited. If it’s on par with The Last Crusade, than I’ll be happy.Trivia: Sean Connery was asked to reprise his role as Henry Jones, Sr. but turned it down because he did not want to come out of retirement.

The Kingdom




FBI Special Agent Ronald Fleury (Jamie Foxx) assembles an eclectic team (Jennifer Garner, Chris Cooper, Jason Bateman) for a mission inside Saudi Arabia to find and capture a terrorist responsible for a deadly attack on Americans. However, the agents find themselves strangers in a very strange land until a native police captain takes them under his wing and helps them navigate the deadly streets of Riyadh.

This movie is my far the best real action film of the year. It is moving and so extreme to the max powerful. It will and I mean will rock you so hard. This movie is realistic and graphic of the Arabs and how they dislike americans and Jaime Foxx and his crew go to Saudi Arabia to find out the mass murder of americans in Arabia. This movie will make you cry and feel for the characters
