We finally managed to make it to the new Indiana Jones movie. While I didn’t think it was as good as the first one, none of the following movies were, it was good. It wasn’t what I expected and I was a bit surprised by the direction they took with the story, but it was fun.

A special thanks to Kathy who helped with the set up and shooting.
