Temple of Doom (1984):
This is a very polarizing one for me, I honestly can’t decide if I like or dislike this movie. The overuse of blue screen ended up annoying me more than Willie Scott and Shortround surprisingly, there is just too much of it and doesn’t hold up at all. This movie came out the same year as Ghostbusters and somehow the hilariously bad effects in that hold up better than the blue screen in this. All I can say really is that it isn’t bad, just okay.

The Last Crusade (1989):
As I was watching this, I was convinced I would like it even more than Raiders. Luckily the effects are very much an improvement over TOM (minus dogfight scene), the slapstick and humour also didn’t annoy me that much somehow, and although it does go too far in certain places I was still thoroughly enjoying myself watching this. A gripe I have is with the Knight character, I don’t know why he’s even in the movie. His purpose was to guard the grail right? What is his purpose if no one is even capable of leaving the Temple with the grail? To feed exposition? Ah whatever, anyway, favourite OST of the series. Comes close to as good as Raiders. Not looking forward to number 4, let alone 5.

Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981)
A young Mr Ford kills nazis in the desert. Fun movie.

A Car’s Life (2006)
After watching this, I can’t help but imagine the opening music playing over the scene where the pink anthro car (don’t remember her name) gets mauled to near death. The score is mixed badly and is hilariously out of touch with whatever’s happening onscreen, it makes me forget how terrible the movie is and laugh it off.

She’s The Man (2006)

We had to watch this in english class and I didn’t enjoy it at all. The jokes aren’t funny, the pacing feels off (Though that might just be my unfamiliarity with romantic comedies) and there are points where the main character would’ve been easily been caught had these been real situations. The premise wasn’t anything that interesting and is just confusing at certain points. Eventually I needed to use the toilet at one point, so I used the opportunity to miss out on as much of it as possible, quite frankly it wasn’t enough.
