After the major success of
Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, one might be wondering, "What's next for the adorably endearing Harrison Ford?" (Besides recently
winning that Guys Choice Award there.) Well, this just in, folks:
Ford will next be seen in the dramatic film Crowley. Zap2It has more:
The project is based on Geeta Anand's
The Cure, which focuses on John and Aileen Crowley, whose two children have a rare genetic disorder. Ford would play the maverick researcher who comes to their assistance.
Traditionally,
Memorial Day weekend is very kind to Summer blockbusters, and this year was no exception for
Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. According to Variety, the return of the Steven Spielberg franchise
was his biggest movie opening ever, hauling in an estimated $126 million over the four-day holiday.
While these results are a career high for Spielberg, the film itself
did not break any box office records related to this holiday weekend or any other long weekend openings.
Disney's
The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian dropped to second place followed by
Iron Man.
Happy
Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull Day. Tonight will find our handsome hero Indy lighting up the big screen once again, and in the spirit of this momentous event I've put together a quiz so you can brush up on some Indiana Jones trivia before heading out to the theaters.
These questions are pretty easy, but the whole point of Indiana Jones is to have fun, so I couldn't include anything too mentally taxing. So.
There's a lot to enjoy about this
fourth installment of Indiana Jones. It's fun, silly, adventure-filled and completely entertaining in ways we don't always get from movies these days, with the greatest parts coming straight from the marvelous imagination of Steven Spielberg. Plus, it's a summertime blockbuster that doesn't totally rely on CGI which feels practically old-fashioned — and I mean that in the best way possible.
Spring is truly here. That means I'll be seeing some big-time movies, reading sweet books, and listening to good tunes as I enjoy all the freshly blooming flowers. In addition to these picks for May entertainment, everyone will be talking about Scarlett Johansson's Anywhere I Lay My Head album when it drops on May 20th, not to mention the finale of
American Idol that same week.
