I'd heard rumors of a fourth Indiana Jones film since before George Lucas set out to diminish the Star Wars universe with three prequels. Now that he's fulfilled that undertaking, I worried he may have set his sights on a similar fate for the other franchise that made Harrison Ford a household name two decades…

I Left My Heart in San Francisco
On the cusp of Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, I was curious to see what other roles Harrison Ford played in his youth which may not have had the staying power of the aging archaeology professor. The film I chose to represent this era was The Frisco Kid. Released in 1979, The Frisco Kid stars…
The Skull That Wouldn't Die
Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull recently wrapped filming — just in time to precede today's opening of The Spiderwick Chronicles with this blessedly spoiler-free trailer: On one hand, this preview doesn't offer many clues about the plot, Karen Allen's return, or Indy's relationship to Shia LaBeouf.

He's the last person I ever expected to be seen in such a thing… It's further proof that…
"Who's gonna come to save you, Junior?"
Straight from the horse's mouth: Sean Connery will not appear in the fourth Indiana Jones movie, as stated today on the official site for the film: I get asked the question so often, I thought it best to make an announcement. I thought long and hard about it and if anything could have pulled me…
Extras of the Lost Ark
