Brendan Fraser and Harrison Ford in Extraordinary Measures

I'm not sure that this is the serious movie I've been waiting for Brendan Fraser to finally make.  It looks kind of cheesy, but you've got Harrison Ford at his most crotchety going for it.

Han Solo, P.I.

Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull - My Review

Indiana Jones & The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull almost broke the alltime holdiay weekend gross record. It came in second to Pirates of the Carribean 3. Indy 4 played to sold out shows all weekend as parents took their children in droves. And we were there, taking our three kids yesterday. My youngest had a bad fever Saturday so we couldn't see the film till Monday, and it was killing me to wait!

So, was it worth the wait? The 19 years we waited? Unreservedly, YES! Our family has been watching the old movies to get our kids ready for Indy 4. We saw the first film a week ago, and nothing can match the first one. The introduction to Indy, the boulder, Marion -- it can't be topped. But we also saw the second film Sunday night, Temple of Doom. Kate Capshaw is like nails on a chalkboard and my son was yelling at the TV -- I can't STAND her! Yes, Spielberg got a wife out of that film, but she is definitely not my favorite either. So with all that fresh in our minds, I can view Indy 4 not just through the mists of my memories and nostalgia. Indy 4 could never be the equal of the first film, but it can stand at least as high as the second if not higher. Yeah, the plot doesn't make sense -- but they never did!

I loved Indy 4 and everything about it. There were things about this film that most of the audience may not have been chuckling about the way I was. Starting the film with a drag race -- that was pure George Lucas, and echoed our very first image of Harrison Ford as he was in the drag race in American Graffiti! Shia LeBeouf rides on screen on his motorcycle with the leather jacket and even the very hat that Marlon Brando wore in The Wild Ones. I actually burst out a "HA!" right when I saw him (I was the only one!), laughing at how perfect the homage was.

I loved the emotional payoff of this movie -- How Indy finds his son, and just all the great banter in the movie with Marion. As the Tribune reviewer said, the goofy look on Indy's face when he first sees Marion again is worth the price of admission. Shia did great, and I love how Spielberg and Lucas gave him his own thing -- he's dropped out of tons of boarding schools but he knows how to handle a knife and fence! The car chase sequence is sheer cinematic brilliance, and will be studied by film students for years to come. All the supporting players were great -- Cate Blanchett was a standout as the Russian villain. Just pitch perfect.

So, three and a half stars (out of 4) and a MUST see in the theaters. If you haven't seen it yet, what's wrong with you? Are you American or what?! Those FBI agents from the film may need to speak with you!

Harrison Ford discusses flying his beaver with Letterman

The double entendres were flying fast and furious last night on Letterman. The expression on Harrison Ford's face is priceless!

Check it out on Huffington Post.

Does Chewbacca know?

From The Sun:
WHAT would Chewbacca say? Hollywood legend Carrie Fisher reveals she got up close with Harrison Ford while filming the iconic Star Wars movies.

The 51-year-old actress is still best known for impressing millions of teenage boys with her buns as Princess Leia.

Now, after decades of rumours, she finally spills the beans on her relationship with ever-hunky Harrison, 63, who played Han Solo.


She tells Justin Lee Collins in new C4 show Bring Back . . . Star Wars: “I went on the film saying ‘I’m going to have an affair’, like it was a kiwi, an exotic fruit — because I’d never had one!”

She adds: “I had a crush on Harrison for sure. Harrison is great fun when he’s had a few drinks.”

Shaking her head and saying: “I’m going to get in so much trouble,” she adds: “Once I left the room and came back and he was in the closet not wearing a lot of clothes.”

Asked about reports of intergalactic battles between Harrison and co-star Mark Hamill, who played Luke Skywalker, Carrie says: “Harrison wouldn’t have a competition with Mark — it’s an uneven competition. He’d win, it would be mean to have a competition!”

Carrie, now a successful screenwriter, confesses there was “some jealousy” from Mark over Harrison’s huge success.

She adds: “Harrison had this enormous career by the second or third film, that was tough for Mark. He was like, ‘This wasn’t supposed to happen — it’s the adventures of Luke Skywalker’.”

She also reveals that during the first flick in 1977, director George Lucas made her cover her boobs with GAFFER TAPE.

She says: “I had to tape them down, because there’s no underwear in space. George knows that for a fact.”

Memorably, Carrie was made to wear a skimpy gold bikini as she was held hostage by Jabba The Hutt in Return Of The Jedi in 1983.

And she laughs: “George has it — he wears it all the time.

“That bikini didn’t move, so you could see all the way to Florida!”

Now there's video of the "Deforestation"

Access Hollywood has posted video of Harrison Ford getting his chest waxed. Not quite like the scene from 40 Year Old Virgin. No screaming!

Owie! Harrison Ford Gets Waxed for the Environment

Owie!!!

Harrison invited Access Hollywood exclusively along as he embarked on a personal project to promote going green.

And just how did Harrison, who is the vice chair of the global environment group Conservation International, want to get his message across?

By waxing his chest, of course.

In an effort to showcase the pain involved in deforestation, Harrison willingly subject himself to the painful process of stripping his chest of all its follicles.

Having worked with CI for 15 years, it was Harrison’s hope that his trip to the salon might just shock people into thinking “green.”

The man ain't bad for 65!
