Hi and Welcome to our blog! It is Casey here;
Since many of you have been asking exactly what we have been up to, we thought this may be a way to keep everyone in the loop without actually talking to them - a thing which both Les and I loathe. The world is a much better place through the written word.
The reason that this blog was finally created was because Lester and I only see about two or three movies in the theatre a year. A movie has to be "big screen" worthy, so just not any movie will do. Typically they are the blockbuster action flicks that we see on the screen, such as the prequels to Star Wars, Academy award nominees like Juno, etc... and, of course, the latest "Indiana Jones - Kingdom of the Crystal Skull". For a movie to provoke somebody to create a spot to critically, publicly critique a film, the film must be extraordinary.
In this case, extraordinarily crappy. Crappy in every way. We left the theatre (a cheap matinee on opening day) feeling robbed. Like all memorable movies, Lester and I talked it over for hours, even days after we viewed it. Except this time it was like "I have never seen such pandering to the aging baby boomer's money!" and "George and Steven sure aren't hungry anymore.". the movie also aided us as a married couple to improve our communication; we decided to ask if the other one is bored and wants to leave the movie halfway through.
So for all of these things, we nominate the new Indy Jones movie for the worst movie of the year so far, that we have viewed. 1 of 5 toes Dialogue was crisp and refreshing, at least.

good to know since we were going to see it on Friday while you are watching our kids...maybe we'd better make other plans.
