    Huh, what the hell just happened? Just back from the Midnight premiere. Indiana Jones meets Mars Attack.

C'mon Spielberg, lets try to keep Indiana Jones and E.T. seperate films. And please god don't let Shia become the heir to the throne. End this series now, before you make it worse...again.… Full Review »
