The latest Indiana Jones movie finally opened in cinemas. It was screened for the first time in Malaysian cinemas on 22nd May, 2008. This is the movie that many of my friends, even those who are not real fans of Indiana Jones have been waiting for.

The movie opened on Thursday, a weekday and I was not able to get away from work early. This weekend, the cinemas will be packed and I tell you, I stopped going to the cinemas when it is absolutely packed. I remember going to watch Spiderman some years back and it was full house. I sat next to a lady who coughed throughout the movie. I came home and promptly fell ill.

So perhaps I will only get to watch this like one or two weeks later, if I am still interested by then. Already, I have heard from friends that this is not what they expected Indiana Jones to be! they felt let down, especially with the ending.

I don’t know, personally, I am generally sick of adventures, fantasy, superheros and “tough guy” kind of movies. I think I’d rather stay home and watch my collection of Korean movies and dramas.

Have you watched Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull? Geee.. the title is too long and doesn’t really make sense unless you know the storyline. So what do you think of this movie? Will it give me entertainment value for my money or should I not bother?

The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian [2008]

You really can’t escape from the hype of The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian, wherever you may be. In fact, the hype started to build up way before the release of the movie on 16th May, 2008 in the United States. This is, after all, the second movie of the Chronicles, a follow up to The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe (2005).

Well, I didn’t watch that first movie back in 2005 so I don’t know what all the hype is about. After all, I am not a fan of fantasy movies. The third installment is expected in 2010 and I don’t envision myself watching it either.

I was surprised to learn that we here in Malaysia are already screening The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian in the cinemas but according to Wikipedia, it will only be released on 5th June in Australia and 27th June, 2008 in the United Kingdom. Something must be very wrong.

If you are in one of those countries still waiting for The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian to land on your shores, then you will have to make do with this official trailer first.
