By Joan McCray

His first move is to hire a street hooker, an equally distraught soul. The connection between these two will lead to destruction or redemption for them both.

Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull: After a nineteen-year hiatus, Indy returns with the identical label of high venture that marled the primordial Raiders of the Lost. In 1957 the fearless archaeologist-professor runs afoul of Russian snoops (containing a cunning Blanchett), then follows a youthful gentleman (LaBeouf) who bears a letter from an old buddy, now lost in the forests of Peru, that might lead them to the Crystal Skull of Alcator, and the lost city of EI Dorado. Opens with lots of action then falls into an ease of exposition, then revs into high gear for an eye-filling finale. Ford restores the role he created in fine style. The screenplay was written by David Koepp from a tale by George Lucas and Jeff Nathanson. Cast includes Harrison Ford, Cate Blanchett, Karen Allen, Ray Winstone, John Hurt, and Jim Broadbent.

Mortimer is fun and a gun-toting, motorcycle-riding hit female. Cast includes Samuel L. Jackson, Robert Carlyle, Emily Mortimer, Rhys Mans, Meat Loaf, Sean Pertwee, Ricky Tomlinson, and Paul Barber. (91 minutes, 2001)
