As guaranteed by the box office take, Indiana Jones and the Half-Blood Prince has got its story line. Now, all they need is a script that Harrison Ford smiles at, and we’re on our way to a fifth adventure.

Have you ever watched Star Wars and thought “this would be great as a concert experience?” Well continue on my friend.

Proving yet again that old actors never die (they just keep playing the same roles), Harrison Ford is poised to put on the fedora and return as that most adventurish of professors – Indiana Jones. At least, that’s the word on the street.

This week Culture Warrior asks, just how ‘new’ is the new Star Trek, anyway?

We got the chance to talk in-depth with director Alexandre Philippe, the director of The People vs. George Lucas. He set the record straight on the intentions of the film (It’s not a fanboy whine-fest), the initial reaction to the trailer and whether George Lucas has heard about the documentary.

Kevin Carr reviews the movies the studios didn’t allow him to see early this week: Tyler Perry’s Madea Goes to Jail, Fired Up and Fanboys.

Kevin waxes poetic about how awesome it is to watch cheerleader movies while both of them complain about how they never get to see Tyler Perry movies in advance. Also, Kevin promises drastic consequences if WALL-E doesn’t win Best Animated Film.

Back in February of ‘08 we told you about a rebel filmmaker named Alexandre Philippe who was looking for the help of Star Wars fans in the making of his documentary The People vs. George Lucas. We now have a trailer and another call to action.

For those of you out there struggling with those New Years diets and failed exercise routines, try this, you must. It’s called ‘Star Wars Yoga’ and its exactly what you’d think it would be — Yoga positions that channel The Force.

ComingSoon.net got all up in George Lucas’s grill recently and asked him a few questions about a follow-up to this summer’s box office smash Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.

Spike just published a list of what they believe to be the Ten Most Overrated Directors. The only thing it does is prove Spike as one of the Most Overrated Online Magazines.

I did not count Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull among the BD releases that were sure to knock me off of my sofa. And it turns out, I was right and wrong, all at the same time.

South Park has a rich history of offending people. I was waiting for some fallout from this episode pissing off somebody.

And as fans have feared since the release and subsequent box office success of Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, an Indiana Jones 5 is gaining momentum.

According to the LA Times, Haden Blackman, the producer of Force Unleashed, would love to be able to walk into a theatre and see his tale of Darth Vader’s apprentice on the big screen.

While Anakin Skywalker and his young Padawan apprentice are saving the stinky Hutt baby, knock a few back and enjoy the newest installment in the Star Wars universe like you’re in a cantina.

Controversy is all over the place as Kevin calls for a boycott of Tropic Thunder due to insensitivity to fat people while Neil takes some shots at Tim Shriver. Nothing is sacred, and everyone should be offended at this week’s Fat Guys at the Movies.

As a child of the 70s, this movie brought me back to all the early extended universe stuff I enjoyed as a kid – from the old ‘Droids’ cartoon to the Marvel comic book series (and yes, even The Ewok Adventure and The Star Wars Holiday Special).

It’s tough to tell why there hasn’t been much buzz for the latest offering from Team Lucas. Whatever the case, that lack of excitement actually matches the tone of the film near-perfectly.

It appears the rumors of Shia LaBeouf taking over as the lead in the Indiana Jones saga were exaggerated. So says George Lucas.
