Coming attractions: Movies I'd like to see

Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.”
The first movie I remember going to the theater to see was “Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom” — a.k.a. The One Where The Guy Pulls the Heart Out of Some Unfortunate Someone. I’m not sure what my parents were expecting from 6-year-old me, but I’m betting they didn’t expect me to throw up in the middle of the movie. Which is what happened. Despite that less-than-pleasant introduction to Mr. Ford, I later developed a bit of a crush on him. Then there was that whole Calista Flockhart thing, after which I had little use for him. But then we went to see “Iron Man” and there was a “Crystal Skull” preview with a Harrison Ford voice over and I swooned. So there you go.

Get Smart.”
Steve Carrell makes me laugh.

Hancock.”
I’m a sucker for a Will Smith summer blockbuster.

The Dark Knight.”
The last Batman movie was really good, and I expect this one will be, too. Also: Christian Bale is scrumtrulescent.

The X-Files.”
You likely won’t be surprised to learn that Rockford was way into “The X-Files” when it was on TV, which means I watched it along with him. I was awfully disappointed in the first movie. I want to believe that this is going to be excellent. I want to believe that Robert Patrick will be nowhere near it, and that it will end Scully and Mulder living happily ever after.
