You know the type... with the exotic locations, the tense chase scenes, spectacular stunts, hints of the supernatural and a priceless treasure - and possibly much, much more - at stake. The summer of 2008 offers no less than three movies meeting these criteria, all following up on licenses that did well so far.
The most obvious, much anticipated and soon-to-be-theatrically-released, coming out May 22nd, 2008, of course, is the latest Indiana Jones movie, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, featuring the return of Harrison Ford in his weathered Fedora and coiled whip. He's getting a bit old for this, but they maintain integrity by accepting this as part of the story. From the trailers I've seen, this is very much a "I'm getting too old for this" part for Dr. Jones. In this story, Karen Allen reprises the role of Marion Ravenwood and Shia LaBeouf is introduced as Mutt Williams, apparently Indiana Jones' protege. To get ready for this latest sequel, you may want to watch the initial trilogy on DVD.
