indiana jones should be good
Love the blog! I’m blogrolling you.
I saw Indiana Jones, and, since my expectations were low, I enjoyed it immensely.
We rented Mad Money. I’m not surprised that it’s doing well on DVD, since it had such a brief time in the box office.
Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull came out on top for the weekend. In the US, the movie made $151.1
Go Indiana!
I’d really like to see Sex and the City!
