The Serious Side of Owen Wilson

I have to say that I really liked this movie. I wasn't sure about it, seeing that it didn't get a "fresh" rating on Rotten Tomatoes; but no matter, the dog drew me in. I had an idea about the story going in, but I was pleasantly surprised by the performances by Jennifer Aniston and Owen Wilson. It was nice to see him not being silly - and showing what a great range I believe he has as an actor. Jennifer Aniston was very believable and played the parenting schtick really well. It does get to be like that, some days. Yes, I cried. Who wouldn't, after watching a loving relationship bloom, endure, and come to sunset...? Well worth the admission.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

You can't trust the critics...

So here's the thing: critics are critical. That's why they have jobs. They provide balance to a self-loving industry. That said, I have to say while I thought there were weaknesses in the new Indy installment, I am going to be...poetic about it. First of all, remember, the whole franchise is about the foibles and frailities of a reluctant hero - a part time archaeology teacher. So, the supposed weakness or "lack" in the story or the delivery I am going to say helps make Indiana Jones believable. Each film has shown a new side of our hero. This one happens to show him nearly 20 years down the road. And what happens over the course of 20 years? You change, physically, mentally and emotionally. That's what I love about this film. Our reluctant hero is ready to hand off the mantle to a new, slightly less-reluctant kid. Does that mean we will see more of Mutt? Don't know. Possibly. He's cute and sassy, but he doesn't grab me like Indy did the first time I saw him when I was 13. (Talk about the ultimate school-girl crush! I digress.) But Shia did do that in Transformers, so there's hope after all...
I think this is a fun movie, has great questions posed, still has edge-of-your-seat excitement, and a couple of villains you want to see get their just rewards.
See it. Wear a fedora while you're at it, 'cuz there's nobody else like Indiana Jones. :)
