Indiana Jones and other weekend stuff

Well, my Dad came in for the weekend. He was working in Indiana so it was easier to stop over in Chicago for shabat. It was a nice time.

Sunday afternoon I went with my cousins to see Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. It was a good movie, maybe not as good as the previous Indiana Jones movies of the 1980's, but good nonetheless. As an observant Jew, it is harder and harder to find good movies to watch. Most of them have schmutz (literally means filth, in practice, is used to described nude/sex scenes in movies) or some of these movies are shoot-em-ups which are boring. See the Rambo movies or anything with Steven Segall. Some are politically oriented such as Fahrenheit 9/11 by Michael Moore.

I don't want to totally give away the movie but there are some twists in this movie involving the Jones family. There were previews for some other summer movies such as Hancock, starring Will Smith. I would consider seeing that one. Wall-E a Disney animation film is coming out soon as well.
