The Bearded Trio

It's an Indiana Jones movie. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.  IT IS an Indiana Jones movie without a shadow of a doubt.  The less than stellar reviews that begun at Cannes and simmered away ever since ultimately played on my expectations and I wasn't expecting much before watching Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny for the first time.  Maybe that was a good thing?   The opening twenty minute scene with a young Indiana Jones played at an immense pace, what you would expect from any adventure movie let alone an Indiana Jones one.  I can honestly say if those twenty minutes were all I got from the movie then I would have been satisfied.  Nice plus points for the casting having such a fantastic actor such as Toby Jones to accompany Indy.  Fun fact: Toby Jones character in The Detectorists is called Lance and the artifact they are after in the beginning is also a Lance.  Okay, maybe not a fun fact but still made me smile.  The de-agin...

With The Dial of Destiny hitting the big screens this week I just wanted to stop, take a breath and say to everyone who is planning on going to see it we really hope you have a blast! However, it's okay not to like something and still be a fan and on the flip side it's okay to like everything about a franchise.  There will be some who love the movie and some who don't.  What we don't like is if the name-calling and ridiculing starting because someone is sat on one side of the camp and strongly disagrees with anyone else's opinion.  Just remember everyone is different and will have different tastes.  I'm sure over the coming week or so we will post content regarding the movie and will be a number of comments.  Lets try to respect each other's opinions.   On the subject of opinions, the other thing is we aim to bring you are honest reviews of the movie.  We were invited to the LA and London premieres but we want to assure you that these events and h...

Highlights from the Los Angeles Premiere of LucasFilms' Indiana Jones And The Dial Of Destiny at Dolby Theatre on June 14 in Hollywood, California. Harrison Ford thanked the fans and during one interview said we're celebrating the movie but also all these people (pointing to the fans) and said they have kept us making movies for 42 years. Karen Allen laughed at how she has known for the last two years she was in Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny and how she's not been able to breath a word of it.  "It's been a challenge" she said. One of my favourite actors, Toby Jones look a little bewildered by all the grandeur. "It's not the kind of thing I ever thought I would be part of."  Phoebe Waller-Bridge looked positively excited.  "We've been sitting on this film for so long, I am so excited for it to come out.  It's such a ride and such an adventure." The stars of the movie take to the red carpet to celebrate the US premiere ...
