Film review and gossip: Indiana Jones

Annika bought the tickets and Julia, Amanda, her boyfriend Mark, Dom, his mate Henry Baxter and I spent the afternoon watching Indiana Jones in the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. It was the classic 1.00pm session on Saturday afternoon and we followed it up with all-you-can-eat for $60 in Little Vietnam afterwards. Adam rang during the after-movie party and told me he HATED the movie but I really enjoyed it. It was two hours when I didn't have to think about anything else and there's great action in it. Okay, some of the escapes may be a tiny bit unbelievable but when you consider the plots of the first three movies in the series, this isn't unusual. It gets a PG rating for sex (one kiss, right at the end) but there's plenty of violence to compensate. (Note to self: don't fall over in an ants' nest in South America). I give it five stars although I'm a bit disturbed by the fact that Dr Jones is 64 and seems a little fitter than me (plus he already has his PhD).
In other breaking news, I'm off to Townsville next week for a few days to cover the Ulysses Club (Motorcyclists over 50 but you can be a junior member if you're over 40) AGM. T-shirt wearing again - I can't wait. Dom's soccer team beat the top team last week in a boilover but lost in their most recent match to the team behind them on the ladder. Dom's team (Manningham) is good if it plays to its game plan and may just get the nod this year. His strip has his name on the back and I'll get a pic as soon as possible.

There was "stack on" at the Indiana Jones after-party - I've shaved and look a bit like Adam these days...
