Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade is arguably the ultimate Indiana Jones movie.

There is a clue in the title of the sequel (prequel) to Raiders of the Lost Ark: Temple of Doom is silly. There was something perfectly supernatural about Raiders of the Lost Ark that is lacking from Temple of Doom. The … Continue reading Indiana Jones and The Temple of Doom (1984) Review
