So my friend Speedcat saw on a previous post of mine that I planned on seeing the new Indiana Jones movie and asked me to do a review of the movie. I saw it earlier today along with my handsome hubby, Jeremy, and our good friend Bobbi. So how was it? Well, let's start with the good.....
It was great seeing Indiana Jones again! The hat....the whip.....the jacket....the one-liners....It was so good just seeing him again. Frankly, that was probably the best part of the movie. As my friend Bobbi put it, it was like seeing an old friend again. There was lots of action. Pretty much the whole movie was full of action, actually. There weren't any slow parts, really. The effects were really good. And there were some fabulous stunts in the movie, too. Harrison Ford looked good, although he is definitely looking old. He looked like he was in pretty good shape for a guy his age, though.
All of that said, here is the less than good part.....Very predictable. The storyline was lacking, especially in certain parts of the movie. I actually had to remind myself a couple of times about "suspension of disbelief". In other words, I had a really hard time buying into some of things that occurred in the the movie. Remember, this is a movie for entertainment purposes only. It doesn't have to be believable, right? You may have to remind yourself of this during the movie. I haven't had this particular problem with any of the other Indiana Jones movies. But for some reason, it was a problem in this one. The villain in this movie, played by Cate Blanchett, wasn't the the best. But I don't blame that on Cate Blanchett (she is a good actress). Once again, I blame that on storyline.
All of that being said.....Did I enjoy the movie? Yes, I did! Am I glad that I went to see it? Yes, I am. Did I enjoy the movie? Yes, I did. Would I recommend it to someone else? Not necessarily. Go see it only if you can keep in mind (and live with) all of the negatives that I said above. Would I see this movie knowing everything above? Yes, I probably would.....I would for a couple of reasons. First, because I am awfully stubborn. Second, because it is Indiana Jones, after all. And it has been a long time since I have seen my old friend on the big screen.

Julies Movie Review: Indiana Jones
The following post was written by Julie for the Speedcat Hollydale Page
Gumball Juicers & Hampton Hollyskinnerds
As the Hillary gets closer to extinction, the Obama camp is heating up the race. They are not quite claiming victory, but they are claiming victory. Now, will the rumors be true? Will the party of dissension come together for the Dream Team Obaclinton? They say never now, but as 0007 says, "Never say Never"
Great news for the Hollydale golfer, the Bool e` Vard Minigolf Park is now open! You can play for 25 E cards, or 5 dollars. Before heading out for 18 holes, all groups must sign an insurance waiver. Featured here is the "Firestorm Monkeyman" hole #12. A birdie on this hole will be rare and coveted.
Katie Couric has not had the audience that was hoped for, and has had cosmetic surgery to enhance the viewers experience on the Nightly News. I think she is lookin` HOT ... but I'm not fond of the new Letterman "Gap Toothed" smile. Sure, it works for Dave, but Couric could never be Paul Schaffer's partner. I vote 3 1/2 stars.
Drowsey Monkey is having a birthday party!! As one of my favorite bloggers, I wish her the best day ever. She is not a hugger, but sometimes I hug her anyway ... like today!! Stop over, have some cake, and say hello.The Birthday Girl [click it or ticket :-)]
Don't forget my Image Gallery Blogwide Blowout going on just a few posts down. As always, my interactive shows never end. Winning entries and captions will be in a future post.party, siesta, foreva, togetha, come on and sing that song ... ALL NIGHT LONG!!
Blogging News: The San Francisco Bay To Breakers Race Part II post by the Traveling Bra has hit the stands. I would present a picture to go with this link, but this is something you will just have to see for yourself. This blogger is left speechless! Check it out, and be forewarned: things be hangin` out ... Not for the timid, view at your own risk!! If you make it through, there is a "Part One" as well.
The Chick has an amazing photo in the "I Watched Rick Schroder Eat Cracker Jacks!" post. Really Cool, and a must see. I always thought she had feathers until now; she is human? Hi Chick!

Men Men Men Men Manly Men ... and the Battle of Seed
Charlie Sheen Says Denise Wants His Next Baby. Of course Denise Richards said that's a bunch of crock. I an alledged E Mail, Richards was accused of needing some man fish, and wanting them to come from Charlie. Charlie says he speaks truth (and that Denise lies a lot), and that the courts should get involved. Charlies Angels have been gaurding the precious testosterone juice, and Richards claims not to be watching. The lunkoo could be in a bank, frozen from 2004, yet these reports are also unfounded and Denise claims that every sperm bank visited by her has no "samples" from Charlie anyway.

Drowsey Monkeys
((((Click HERE )))) to see my conversation with Drowsey. AND leave a comment too!! 
^ don't forget to click that up yonder!
__________AWARD GALA__________
A Very Special Award
Max sent the “Arte y Pico” award to Mel (Monday Morning Power who then bestowested me, and these fine folks with the ARTE y PICO.
This is what Mel had to say about the winners ....
1- . Comedy Plus : Sandee is truly one of the funniest people in the blogesphere. Her stories are priceless and she is very much worth knowing.
2- The Painted Veil : Shinade has, I believe, the most visually pleasing site on the net. She is a true friend and a fantastic place to visit.
3- Speedcat Hollydale : Speedy is certifiably out of his mind and he doesn't care who knows it. His site is a must-visit, however, when you visit him you may never think of chicken the same way again.....be forewarned. "He is also a genius and the greatest guy in the universe" OK, I added that last part :-)
4- Mimi Writes... : Mimi, the "Queen of Memes" has the most creative and deeply moving projects of anyone on the web......second only to me of course (LOL.)
5- Nick's Bytes : Nick is worth knowing. He is a very gentle man that you do not want to cross. He is funny and very sensitive. Ask him about Alex, the cat that owns him. But, be ready for a very long and heart warming response.

Checkpoint Chiky ... a Story of Intrigue & Rubber
message to moneypenny... please send rations to Baudette
Kim at PurpleFrogCat has just reported thousands of rubber ducks in her pond. My pond and rubber duckies has all the details. Is this another plot from the Mole?? (meaning Robert)
photo credit: Olga the Traveling Bra ... (I added more brow)
After doing some research, and spy recon, Holly D 0007 has made a decision ....
I arrived home this weekend to find that I had been the victom of a large scale donut attack (launch) by The Wendster! Seems that many were hit, but I was the primary target. At first, I wondered just how I was going to clean the mess up, but just as lemons make lemonade .... me and my dog Mardy had the best breakfast ever! So, I am calling a truce on that score.
Debbie Dolphin was also hit!!
Canadians (click on the picture to the left) - on the other hand, have been gearing up for a chicken launching .... RUBBER CHICKENS!!!! Sure, they claim to be in the testing stages, but here in Hollydale the best defence is a good offence. My fleet of chicken copters are ready and waiting. After drinking a tall glass of milk, a tiny bra was pasted to Robert's lip. This is the mark of the Mole!!
Up up and away they go ... and headed North!! What will be in the future for Canadians? Who are the pilots of these chickiny aircraft? What payloads are they carrying???
Tune in next time for the Hollydale Report and aftermath of Airstrike Chickenman Chickenhawk (codename: Checkpoint Chiky)
This airstrike has been financed by Céline Dion .... (EX Canadian)

"The chicken fleet has landed in Baudette, Minnesota to re-fuel, and has run into complications. Seems that the buffet inside was a vegetarian affair featuring LeSuer Peas .... and the Hollydale Chicken flipped the hostess and ordered a breast piece, further escalating matters into a brew ha haa. The Rainy River (Minnesota-Ontario) Sheriff's Department is on site, and the chicken copter pilots are hiding on top of the fuel center weather can-o-peas. Looks like the mission is in jeopardy. More Updates will be coming in soon."

CAN YOU FIND THE BLOG ELF??
He has been missing for months. Please go to Elf Patrol blogspot and tell him "Speedcat is very worried!" copy and paste in comments :-)
Starbucks Coffee House has vreated waves with their new cup featuring THIS label. Mommy, why is there a nekkid lady on your cup? Well, because the beans are harvested in really hot arid climates.
The infamous (and very dangerous) Hollydale Chicken was sighted in Mexico. At least now, he will not be digging through my garbage can in the middle of the night. If you see the "Hollydale Chicken", throw food .... then run West.
Baron Von Obama dismissed a female TV reporter as "Sweetie", then told her she was almost as hot as the babes on the View. Later in private, he was overheard telling the woman that he would just "love to tax her so hard..." , and that he would overlook her Jewishness in "just this one case". Whoopie Goldbird claims that Orrock is handsome, even to lesbians!
The strangest news? Britney Spears & Mel Gibson Depart Together for Costa Rica where Mel has a 30 Million dollar ranch ... after having dinner at a posh Russian resturant! Mel plans on enlightening Britney with his wisdom. They will get along fine because they both love drinking and smoking - yet claim to do neither. Could there be a new movie in the making? Running Down Denile River? Britney told Mel that her last husband was a young rapper (gum snap), and that because Mel is old and likes classics .... blah blah blah blah (gum snap) .... and that he's cute.All this blogger can say is, "I'm jealous!"
Speedcat Hollydale purchased the hat worn by "Dusty" in the film Three Amigos with Steve Martin, Martin Shortyskins, and Chevy Chase for 5 million dollars, then lost it downtown while wearing a bra named Olga. The Star Tribune has it on the most wanted list in the lost and found section of the paper, although many have seen a happy kid wearing the hat while riding his bike in Hollydale Park. There is a 25 dollar reward to any blogger with information leading to the return of "Speedy's Sombrero".Send in a picture of you wearing a hat, and I will publish it here, with a link to your blog! Plus, if you do, I will like you more. Mail to: speedcathollydale@yahoo.com
