Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny

It's a fairly decent movie about an old tired and sad hero that's past his prime, and that's the biggest problem.  Does anybody really want to see an old sad worn out Indiana Jones as his life winds down?  There's definitely some good ideas here, but it feels like it lacks the POW Spielberg would have given it.

[WOMEN IN LOVE]

WOMEN IN LOVE (1969)  

MARS NEEDS WOMEN (1968)

^ Well, Ill skip that one!

the HORRORS OF SPIDER ISLAND (1959)

I dunno HOW many times I revisted this stupid movie!

Yeah, I do. Because of the snaggle tooth monster! The goofy spider! But mostly this-



Barbara Valentin. That women could marry me for money and kill me!
And she gets in catfights too!

Mars Needs Moms

I found a large vertabra in my back yard! Well, my grandson Theo did. Looks like it came from a large dog or something. It's old and dry. It sits on a shelf.

Bones are just cool to study sometimes.

The Final Project (2015) - This represents the middle ground of the found footage arts. Honestly, the best part is the r rated, improvised sounding dialogue between the various characters. Very much like the "get to know the doomed people" portion of Disaster movies, these sections exist to show off attractive cast members * and put the viewer in the situation. The talking goes on a little long, but that's to be expected. The horror aspect is less successful. Some mildly scary stuff, but pretty nondescript. I watched it in one night though, which I must respect. The mediocre video quality was a bridge too far in the authenticity pursuit.

3/5

*especially Misty
