Will Smith’s eight-movie $100-million run is by no means insignificant, but it does not necessarily make him the box office phenom of all time.

Harrison Ford has found the Holy Grail and saved the Universe. In his next film he takes on a deadly disease. Instead of dodging poison darts or kicking terrorists off of Air Force One, the actor plays a researcher who may hold the key to curing a deadly genetic disorder.

AARP eligible or not, Harrison Ford is young at heart and may be returning to the popular Jack Ryan character, if he can hurdle the unlikely obstacle of Paramount Studios.

By the estimation of Russia’s Communist Party, director Steven Spielberg is trying to scare your kids with Communism, pollute their minds and ultimately start up another Cold War. Silly commies…

In honor of Indiana Jones week here at FSR, today’s installment of Foreign Objects will take a look at the best Raiders of the Lost Ark homage/rip-off ever made. Luckily (and not coincidentally) it just so happens to be a foreign film.

Everyone is going nuts for Indiana Jones and it is well on its way to earning huge bucks at the box office this weekend… except me. I wasn’t sold on this trip down memory lane, and here’s my evidence that this just wasn’t an Indiana Jones movie.

Spielberg, Lucas, Ford and the rest of the Indiana Jones crew are back for another round. And while we can never expect this one to live up to the legend that is the original trilogy, we should still be able to find an entertaining summer flick, right?

This appears to be a case where all involved had a blast getting back together for a fourth film after what appeared to be a concluded trilogy, but forgot to make a good movie.

Now that The Movie Style Guy has got you geared up to be the next Indiana Jones, you’re gonna need some accessories that you can’t get at the fedora store. In fact, step one is to avoid being seen at a fedora store. Step two is top secret, but FSR is more than happy to present steps three through eight.

If you’ve ever watched an Indiana Jones movie then, like me, you probably got the sudden urge to swing on a whip, wear a leather jacket, and put on a fedora. Well, the good news is that Indy is about to burst back on the scene as cool as ever and hats are on their way back. I think it’s time to make the transformation complete.

Here is a picture of Indiana Jones’ biggest fan buying some Indy toys…

I know you might not want to read the negative reviews that say you’re past your prime and should be at home drinking Ensure and watching the Weather Channel. But what about the positive reviews from fanboys like me?

Forget War of the Worlds—when Spielberg wants to be, he’s a master storyteller in that grand Hollywood tradition of efficient, effective populism.

This little ditty is about what everyone else around the web is saying about good ole’ Indy. With that in mind, lets have a look at the reactions to the film that has all the fanboys (and fangirls) buzzing.

It’s not until you look back at the original Indiana Jones trilogy that you realize just how many memorable moments there are in the series. To whittle that list of seminal moments down to just ten is excruciating, and it will be different for everyone.
These are the moments that stuck with us long after the […]

A wise man once said that in order to really understand something, sometimes all you have to do is make a pie chart. And while we don’t have a way to make a pie chart to help you understand the Indiana Jones trilogy, we have come up with this pretty cool regular-style chart to help put things into perspective.

We continue our deep dive into the history of Indiana Jones by breaking down the legacy that has for more than 20 years captivated audiences the world over.

We continue our Official Guide to Indiana Jones, our week-long special feature that takes you inside the world of everyone’s favorite archaeologist, with a look back at the final chapter of the Jones trilogy: The Last Crusade.

Every day I seem to find something that reminds me that this little world of the interwebs is beautiful. Today I was hanging around on Twitter when I was directed to a very cool post by tech enthusiast and web-celeb Robert Scoble. Now, you might be wondering how the world of movies has intersected with the world of the Scobleizer, but bare with me here.

George Lucas was able to take a moment away from scatting with Jack Black in Cannes, to talk about Indiana Jones. While Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull is still set to release next week and is expected to be the biggest box-office draw of the summer, Lucas seems to have more of a focus on Indy’s future than his present.

Oh how Steven Spielberg and George Lucas wished we were in the time of Dr. Jones, when news traveled slow and secrets remained hidden for centuries. Unfortunately in the day and age of the internet, no secret is safe, no film unreviewed, no spoilers unleaked.

As if just for good measure, the folks at Paramount Pictures have released yet another full-length trailer for the upcoming blockbuster-to-be Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.

I don’t know about you but in the brand new trailer for Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull above, I am seeing quite a few special effects shots that I did not expect.

Our good friends at Paramount Pictures have sent us over a collection of photos from Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull so that we might share them with you.

It’s one month until Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull hits theaters, and we’re already under an invasion of billboards… including this batch of six IN A ROW on Ventura Boulevard in Los Angeles. What’s next?!

Arguably the most anticipated movie of the summer, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, has had its first screening and the reports are that it runs a whopping, summer-sized 140+ minutes.

After scouring Gallery 1988, I found that they have alot more cool art. For instance, the coolest one I found was called “Nobody Wants To Play Sega With Harrison Ford.”

If you are a member of the tween crowd, or if you are just inappropriately attracted to award shows that feature Miley Cyrus, the Jonas Brothers and Jack Black running around in tights while spewing green slime from his mouth, you may have already seen this.

In exploring the newly updated 2008 Summer preview from the Weinstein Company (which makes no mention of Fanboys, by the way), I stumbled upon the late-summer release Crossing Over, which stars Harrison Ford, Sean Penn, Ray Liotta and Ashley Judd.

George Lucas and Steven Spielberg have been hinting at it all along; Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull isn’t going to be showing us anything crazy, new or modern — it is going to be a good ole’ fashioned Indiana Jones movie through and through. The only question: how will this go over with die hard fans?
