Screen Life


da da da da, da da da, da da da da, da da da da da...that sound, my friends, means one thing and one thing only: Indiana Jones. And, OK, maybe the second movie was completely tepid, and maybe the third wasn't that great either, and maybe Harrison Ford is 65 which is 900 in action-hero years - I'm going, and I'm going today, before anybody else can see it and spoil it for me.
Anyone with more elevated tastes might like to shift from Indy to independent with
The Savages, which is so true to life the central characters (played by Laura Linney and Phillip Seymour Hoffman) could walk off the screen and sit next to you; so fun and honest and smart and fearless it pierces, and heals, the heart.
