Craig and I had our wedding anniversary last Tuesday, the 27th, but he was headed for Phoenix that day so we decided to celebrate our anniversary on Saturday. We got a babysitter and had Chili's for lunch and saw the new Indiana Jones movie for a matinee. I grew up watching the Indiana Jones movies as a kid because my dad was a huge fan. I remember my dad taking my sister and I to see the 1st movie, Raiders of the Lost Ark, in the theater when I was 8 years old. My dad and mom saw the movie beforehand so my dad knew what parts of the movie were not appropriate for us to see. I remember near the end of the movie when the ark was being opened and Indy told Marion to close her eyes, my dad turned to my sister and I and told us to do the same thing. Of course though I peeked and saw a man's face being melted off!! I freaked out and that memory haunted me for years. When I watch the movie now, I have to laugh at myself at how much that scene scared me. Anyway, even though the newest Indiana Jones movie didn't get the greatest reception, it wasn't going to keep me from seeing it and overall I thought it was pretty good. It was like a combination of other movies I've seen in the past few years like The Mummy, National Treasure, and maybe even some X-Files. Of course there are scenes that were a little out there to believe but it had all the elements that you'd want to see in an Indiana Jones movie. It was definitely better than the 2nd Indy movie - that's for sure!!
