INDIANA JONES

In 1981, I was able to watched this Lucas-Spielberg classic film "RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK" on wide screen and it was an action packed movie indeed. The two Indiana Jones movies were also great, but I've watched them this time on BETAMAX. The prequel "INDIANA JONES AND THE TEMPLE OF DOOM" was also interesting since the setting is before the stint of Dr. Henry "Indiana" Jones, Jr. on the lost ark. My favorite would be the 1989 "INDIANA JONES AND THE LAST CRUSADE" wherein his mission is to find the HOLY GRAIL and of course HARRISON FORD was with co-stars SEAN CONNERY(Idol sa JAMES BOND!!) and the late RIVER PHOENIX. Well, it's just sad to know that the on-going making of INDIANA JONES 4 entitled "INDIANA JONES AND THE KINGDOM OF THE CRYSTAL SKULL" doesn't anymore include Sean Connery since he was really serious about his screen retirement since 2005. As you recall, Sean Connery played the role of Dr. Jones Sr. the father of Indy and River Phoenix played the young Indy. I skipped the DVD release, but instead decided to get these VCD releases of the trilogy. I can't wait for the fourth episode on wide screen which will be shown next year 2008. Indeed one of the great sequels of the EIGHTIES!!

Here's Indie!!
