Movie Review : Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull


So last night, Rachel and I went to the midnight shows of Indiana Jones 4. I went with great anticipation and hope, mainly because the Indiana Jones trilogy is one of my favorite series of movies. Even back in the day when technology wasn't that great, they were just down right entertaining to watch. And funny too.
So a part of me was worried that this movie would kill the franchise. And with George Lucas being a part of it, odds were against me.
So we went to the showing. I was also surprised that the audience did not cheer and shout through the whole thing like other midnight showings I've been to which was fantastic.
Now the movie itself takes place in the 1950's when nuclear weapons were developing and the country was paranoid of communism. It's a different time for Indiana. But right from the beginning the movie was fun. Nice action scenes, plus when they start their treasure hunt for the crystal skull, it sucked me in just like when they were searching for the Holy Grail. It wasn't too dry or boring in the middle but was still fun.
The only downfall of the movie (without giving away spoilers) was the very end. I will say that it was out there. Maybe too far out. But so was Raiders when God's power killed everyone. So maybe that should have been a little different but what do I know. Overall, I really enjoyed it. It entertained me. Was it realistic? No. Movies of this caliber rarely are. And as a side note, crystal skulls are actually real in Mayan history. So it has some truth to it. I give it a B+.

Narcolepsy

When we think about it, narcolepsy is kind of funny. What is even funnier is when dogs have it. Take a quick look at this video.

Restaurant Review : Town and Country Market

So last summer when Rachel was a receptionist at Patterson Dental Supply, she was told by her co-workers of a little fruit stand market thing where they make sandwiches. It's just a little mom and pop store. In fact, I don't think there is really much fruit there. Just a little deli. And so last summer we went several times together and their turkey sandwiches are fantastic. Well, today we went their for lunch today. We totally love it. I got the turkey sandwich. Phenomenal. Rachel also tried the tomato soup, of which she really enjoyed it. The address is 2840 South Main Street, Salt Lake City.

Medical Complaints

My second favorite show is Scrubs. It is a comedy about new medical students working at a hospital. It's fantastic. Anyway, I found this website where actual medical students or doctors started this forum where they talk about their funniest patient complaints. I found it hysterical. So I recommend going through the pages and reading these complaints that real people have gone to the hospital for.

P.S. I would rate it PG-13 for language and content of peoples medical problems.
P.P.S. #117 is fantastic

These are pictures from Friday night's home game. It was fantastic, as all Jazz games are.
This is a picture of David Archuletta singing the National Anthem.

Here he is on the big screen

This is the stadium decked out in blue. It was beautiful.
