INDIANA JONES AND THE KINGDOM OF THE CRYSTAL SKULL by Frank Palmcoast


When he's not watching, with beads of sweat, his fellow, legally blind, senior citizens parallel park, Frank Palmcoast is catching seven dollar movies at the local multiplex from sunny Pompano Beach, Florida. He's retired, he's angry at the world, he can't spell to save his life, and he hates Hollywood almost as much as Hillary Clinton, but that will not stop our irreverent, dementia fightin', AARP card carrying everyman from giving us a fresh take on all things Hollyweird. Besides, how can he pass up that marvelous senior citizen discount?

Frank Palmcoast recently went under the knife in a Florida hospital. He has recuperated and is back in tip top reviewing shape. He wants to thank all his fans who wrote cards and letters to the BBF. His recovery wouldn't have been as speedy without them!

***************************************************

Firstly, someone has to shorten this title! Don't go to this movie looking for something more than a two hour ride of both humor, adventure and exitement.Indiana Jones perfectly fits Harrison like a glove. It has been 19 years and now Indiana Jones is much older but his homor and demeanor are intact.Harrison Ford is old enough to pay senior citizen price at his own summer block buster. Right from the beginning you see his famous Fedora, the one that stays put through every tricky situation. Ford certainly seems up to the challenge or at least his stunt double does. There is a ton of great moments and these moments will remind you of all the fun in the first three.This Indiana Jones is no Raiders of the Lost Arc but if you look at the History of most sequels, this has to rank among the most respectable. This Crystal Skull they are looking for looks like Larry King without the suspenders. For me, other than Harrison the three other stars are Spielberg, Lucas and let's not forget John Williams for his infamous Raiders music and it's call to adventure and when it's sounded
it tells us fun is just ahead and good luck on getting this theme out of your head. Ford still remains dashing in his fedora and he can still crack his bullwhip. Now Indiana Jones will slip into the history of film like Rocky Balboa. John Rambo & John McCain safe in the knowledge that he goes out at the top of his game. Does Harrison Ford sucessfully repeat, yes he CANNES!
Palmcoast here!
PS: Some additional questions from Palmcoast:1) Why do the police always tell vicious criminals to watch their heads while placing them in police vehicles? 2) Car dealers advertise cars for say $199.00 per month but in the small prints you have to put $5,000 at the inception? 3) Why when riots occur, do the rioteers always burn and destroy cars? 4)We are always told to hit the SAP button on your remote, where is that on the remote?5) Palmcoast is sick of seeing Ed McMahon and his Premier Walk-in Baths! 6) Why are all the Miss Universes from this plannet? Last but not least--Giuseppi Franco--enough said!
