I finally bought the Indiana Jones Adventure pack DVD. After watching the 4th Indy movie during the world premier, I must admit, I wanted more archaeological adventure overdose too.

I think the first time I saw Indiana Jones and The Raiders of the Lost Ark was when I was in the 1st grade elementary. I was able to recall some scenes, including the melting faces towards the end. Pristine watched the movies with us while sitting on my lap. Boy, did she have so many questions during the entire run of the movie!

Watching the movie again, I wonder why this was such a big hit back then. I did not find it interesting and action packed - I even like the 4th new Indy movie a lot better!

Indiana Jones and The Temple of Doom delivered some actions I wanted in an action-adventure film. Pristine liked this and as of this writing, she has viewed it three times. We have to say no when she asked to see it again this morning though because she had been having dreams and screaming, “Don’t take my heart!” (referring to the Thugee ritual in the movie where a man took out the heart of another by using his bare hands dug into the chest)

Indy’s lady was annoying but as whiny and annoying as she is, she surely captured the director, Steven Spielberg’s heart those days. They got married after the movie wrapped up and still married now.

Of the three Indy movies included in the DVD pack, I like the last one, Indiana Jones and The Last Crusade best. I think Sean Connery’s portrayal of Indy’s father is so convincing although he is just12 years senior of Harrison Ford. So many lessons in this movie too, I had a wonderful time sharing those to the babe. I also like their rapport and bond as father and son. Loads of humor and action too.

So, which Indy movie do you like best?

Today premiers the new Indiana Jones movie! I am excited to see Dr. Jones again onscreen, after 20 years!? I can’t believe it’s that long already! 

I am a huge Harrison Ford fan. I think I haven’t missed any of his movies, heck, including the boring ones. I just love the guy and him playing Indy again? Count me in!

To secure tickets ahead of time, we went to the movie house and asked for the movie rating. We intend to bring Pristine along although M was worried about the presence of guns and shooting scenes. Well, I am worried too that’s why we had to ask for the movie rating - though I had a very strong feeling it is not for General Patronage. The poster says, “Only children above 5″.

Above 5
  above 5
  above 5…

does that include 5? or the child should be 6 to be able to go in? Pristine is 4 and 1/2 years old, round that off, she is 5. Can she see the movie? Is she too young for some Indy action? 

If I can’t take her, then I guess I have to wait for the DVD to come out. I’d be ok with that, I think, but man, I want to see Dr. Jones whipping bad as ses in the big screen!!
