The Colgate Comedy Hour: Abbott & Costello (1952)
Great Christmas fun!
A real "memory lane" Christmas special from one of America's top comedy duos. There are some tremendous acts between Bud and Lou's skits and the period commercials are a blast!
Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (2008)
"Indy" has run it's course...
Where "Raiders" and "Grail" were crisply written with a much better cast of good & bad guys, this episode left me flat. Forget about Ford's age...he did just fine...but his supporting cast was mediocre and unmemorable. No Denholm Elliott (understandably). No Sean Connery. No John Rhys-Davies. The only connection to past episodes was a resurrected Karen Allen with a relatively minor role. And the plot was...uh..well, let's just say that not even a pack of wild, swinging monkeys could save it! On a positive note, while Ford's acting and the special effects were fine, the best thing about it was that it wasn't "Temple of Doom"! It's position at #4 in the series is still safe & secure! (I swear I can still hear Kate Capshaw screaming!)
