Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skulls

 Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skulls does not suffer from lack of action.  This Cold War combat flick is packed with gunfire, car chases, fist and sword fighting with the evil Russian commies. Those evil Russians - they always make the best villains! 

The main villain is brilliantly played by Cate Blanchett, who has no trouble embodying the role of a cold blooded Soviet agent with a heavy Russian accent.  Her Russian was good, but her comrades' Russian was even better (I have no doubt they were played by the native speakers). 

Harrison Ford is still charming as Indi.  His character is older, but just as witty and intelligent as the younger Jones.  Ford never loses his cool or his fear of snakes.

My daughter and I give it two thumbs up, and she adds: "those Russians really like shooting".
