Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull Movie Review

BOTTOM LINE: Indiana Jones is back with style with a strong central concept, great character moments and entertaining sequences that we've come to know and love, despite not quite hitting all the marks (and in fact missing some completely) that the previous films did.

THE GOOD: The single biggest question mark hanging over this new installment in the Indiana Jones series was whether or not Harrison Ford could still play the role at his age without any mobility assistance; I'm glad to say that he's most definitely up to it and for much of the running time you can believe that no time has passed at all, save some scenes where they make his age a blatant issue. It's great to see Ford back in action and in a strong, dignified role after a string of woeful and forgettable films ("Hollywood Homicide" any one?). Story-wise, this film has a lot going for it, least of all being the Crystal Skull itself and it's tie in with an alien civilisation that helped teach early humans to build technologies more advanced than they were capable of at the time. Whenever the story moves toward the Skull itself, there is a certain spookiness about it, especially its ability to communicate telepathically with people and is best exemplified in the finale when it is returned to its altar and combined with the other alien skeletons in a spectacular finale.

As this object revolves around an alien artifact there's a visit at the outset from the film to Area 51 where our main villain played by Cate Blanchett wants to steal the body recovered from the Roswell crash in 1947; all nice touches. Continuing the theme from "The Last Crusade" of Indy's family, we're introduced to Indy's son played by Shia LaBeouf who does an amicable job of exhibiting his father's traits, and Karen Allen returns as Marion and it was nice to see the feisty relationship between Marion and Indy back on screen. The action is probably on par with the previous films, and Spielberg and Co. manage to make these quite entertaining and at times funny (harkening back to the old Saturday afternoon serials which these films are based upon). There are quite a few references to Indy's age in this film, but they're worked in organically and after a few scenes you don't really notice his age as your swept up in the story. What works well in this film is that it still has many of the elements that made the previous films so good, so when you walk out of the cinema, you feel as if you've watched another Indiana Jones film and not some tired cash in which is a shadow of its former self.

THE BAD: Despite being a good Indy film, there's something missing from this installment. It has the usual components that made the old films work, such as character, action and a fascinating archaeological object in the Crystal Skull. And it is an entertaining adventure film with some excellent action. However, one of the strongest elements of the previous films in the series involved the mysticism surrounding the object that Indy was chasing and in this film, despite an excellent finale where we finally get the power of the skull emerging for all to see, we don't really get a sense of the mystical aspect to the story. Spielberg and Co. are too focused on including too many scenes which function as explanations for why this film should exist (ie backstory: what happened to Indy's father and Marcus Brody, what happened to Indy in the years between this film and the last, poking fun at and/or acknowledging Indy's advancing years). As a result, not as much emphasis is placed on the Crystal Skull itself and its power which is a shame because it was perhaps one of the strongest concepts in all of the movies (definitely better than the Grail from "The Last Crusade").

Cate Blanchett, despite putting in as strong a performance as possible in a film like this, isn't really as nasty a villain as those from the previous films, and the lack of any other villainous characters (there was usually more than one in the previous films) leave this area of the film a little flat. Another thing that felt a bit off was the lack of pre-story sequence where we see Indy in a mini-adventure that has nothing to do with the rest of the film (as with the previous films). Instead, right from the beginning we're right in to the main story; this might also have been a symptom of Spielberg and Co. wanting to devote more screen time to explaining the existence of this installment. And Indy's main music theme doesn't actually appear in the soundtrack all that often. It's a shame because these types of things do detract from the film leaving you feeling with a "that was good but it lacked something..." feeling when you walk out of the cinema.

A Brief Note on the Bollywood Film Industry

Bollywood comprises a small part of the Indian Cinema. It refers to the Mumbai-based hindi-language film industry which is the most popular in India. The name 'Bollywood' comes from the two words 'Bombay' (the former name for Mumbai) and 'Hollywood' (the center for the American Film industry).

Though the majority of Bollywood movies is in the language Hindi, use of Urdu and English words is very common.

The first Bollywood movie Raja Harishchandra was released in 1913. Raja harishchandra was a silent movie in black and white. And the first Indian audible movie was Alam Ara released in 1931.

The colored movies started in the late 1950s in India.

The cost of Bollywood movies is in million dollars, around 10 million dollars. Bollywood movies are liked and watched by people all around the world. It is most popular in south-asian countries like Nepal, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and Pakistan. Many Pakistanis enjoy bollywood movies but have some limitations by law. The Indians in South Africa, Nigeria and Morocco form a huge audience for these Hindi movies.

Bollywood has served the Soviet Union those times when there was no other source of entertainment. Hollywood movies were banned there. Hindi films were dubbed and shown in popular movie theatres like Mosfilm and Lenfilm.

The majority of the profits come from the United States.

Bollywood films in the United States earn around $100 million a year through theater screenings, video sales and the sale of movie soundtracks. In other words, films from India do more business in the United States than films from any other country. During the last decade, Bollywood films filmed in North America have largely been shot in New York, Los Angeles, Vancouver and Toronto.

Bollywood films do well in the U.K also. Many films, such as Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham have been set in London, the U.K. is also one of the most filmed locations for Bollywood films, however there is no official report claiming this as there are many Indian films shot in the U.K., yet no mention of the U.K. itself in the film. Bollywood is also appreciated in Germany as well as France. Various Bollywood movies are dubbed in German and shown on the German Television channel RTL II on a regular basis.

Bollywood is not as popular in South American countries, however it has its recognition in Caribbean nations with large Indian diasporas, such as Guyana, Suriname and Trinidad and Tobago - all of which have people of Indian descent as a majority of their population. Bollywood culture and dance has also been recognised in Peru. In 2006, Dhoom 2 became the first Bollywood film to be shot in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

Bollywood is not as successful in Oceanic Countries such as New Guinea and Indonesia. However, it ranks second to Hollywood in countries such as Fiji, Australia and New Zealand. Nowadays, Australian locations are also becoming more important to the plot of Bollywood films.

The Filmfare Awards ceremony is one of the most prominent film events given for Hindi films in India. The Indian screen magazine Filmfare started the first Filmfare Awards in 1954, and awards were given to the best films of 1953. The ceremony was referred to as the Clare Awards after the magazine's editor.

Modelled after the poll-based merit format of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, individuals may submit their votes in separate categories. A dual voting system was developed in 1956. Like the Oscars, the Filmfare awards are frequently accused of bias towards commercial success rather than artistic merit.

As the Filmfare, the National Film Awards were introduced in 1954. Since 1973, the Indian government has sponsored the National Film Awards, awarded by the government run Directorate of Film Festivals (DFF). The DFF screens not only Bollywood films, but films from all the other regional movie industries and independent/art films. These awards are handed out at an annual ceremony presided over by the President of India. Under this system, in contrast to the National Film Awards, which are decided by a panel appointed by Indian Government, the Filmfare Awards are voted for by both the public and a committee of experts.

Additional ceremonies held within India are:

Stardust Awards

Star Screen Awards

Ceremonies held overseas are:

Bollywood Movie Awards - Long Island, New York, United States

Global Indian Film Awards - (different country each year)

IIFA Awards - (different country each year)

Zee Cine Awards- (different country each year)

Most of these award ceremonies are lavishly staged spectacles, featuring singing, dancing, and lots of stars and starlets.

FTP Hosting Service Selection - Seven Tips!

If you're frustrated with the inability to send and receive large files via
email, you're not alone. Most businesses today are experiencing the same
problem.

As software programs evolve, the files they create are forever increasing in
size. Programs like AutoCAD, Adobe Photoshop, and a host of many more can create
files in excess of 5MB to 300MB.

One of the best ways to send large files via the Internet is by utilizing
what is called an "FTP Hosting" service. FTP stands for "File
Transfer Protocol."

How does it work? An FTP Hosting service is simple and effective. Unlike
email, where you send files from one person to another, FTP hosting allows you
to upload files of any size or type to a secure storage location on the
Internet. Once you've uploaded your files, the recipient of the files can then
download them at will.

So how do you go about selecting the best "FTP Hosting" service?
We've come up with a list of "Seven Tips" that will help you in the
selection process.

1. Good Track Record & References:

The provider of the "FTP Hosting" service should have a solid
business track record. You'll want to select a company that has been in business
at least 4 to 6 years.

Remember, you're entrusting the "FTP Hosting" company with
proprietary corporate information. Make sure they are a legitimate company.
These days it's easy to develop a website and call yourself an "FTP
Hosting" company. Avoid any company that looks like a
"Fly-by-night" operation.

Ask for references! If the provider is good, they'll ask you how many
references you would like! Also, their web site should provide an indication of
their length of time in business and references, if they have any.

2. Phone Number:

Make sure the "FTP Hosting" company provides you with a phone
number to call, preferably a toll-free number. If you have any problems at all
you'll want to speak with someone.

You'll also want to call the number they give you and verify that someone
answers the phone and can talk intelligently about the service they provide.

Avoid any company that does not answer their phone during normal business
hours, as they most likely won't answer it when you have a question or problem.

3. Guarantee or Trial:

Look for a service provider that guarantee's their service and will allow you
to test it before you subscribe. Ask for a 30-day free evaluation period. If
that's not available then ask for a 30-day, unconditional satisfaction
guarantee. It should allow you to cancel within 30-days and pay nothing if
you're not completely satisfied with the service.

In addition, look for a service that provides discounts if you pre-pay for
six or twelve months. You'll be surprised as to how much money you can save by
paying in advance.

4. Adequate Bandwidth:

Ask your "FTP Hosting" company how much bandwidth is available for
file uploads and downloads. Avoid any company that limits the amount of
bandwidth available for transferring files.

If a company puts limits on available bandwidth, they are either an extremely
small business and won't be able to service you properly, or they may charge you
for bandwidth in excess of a given amount per month. Either way, you won't be
happy at the end of the day.

Look for a company that can provide you with unlimited bandwidth and does not
charge you for it.

5. Ease of Use:

The service must be easy-to-use and support file transfers from Windows, Mac,
and Linux operating systems. Ask the service provider what, if any, software is
required on the client side in order to transfer files to and from the secure
FTP site.

Make sure you're not required to purchase a vendor specific, proprietary
software program to transfer your files. You should be able to use any
off-the-shelf, downloadable FTP client software program such as CuteFTP, WS FTP,
SmartFTP, Fetch, or FTP Voyager.

6. Storage Space Limitation:

Most "FTP Hosting" services are available on a month-to-month
subscription basis and their rate is set according to the amount of storage
space you require. Make sure your monthly storage limitations have what's called
a "Soft Cap."

A "Soft Cap" allows you to exceed your storage limitations without
incurring an additional fee. More importantly, it allows you and/or your
customers to continue uploading/downloading files to your FTP site after you
have exceeded your storage space allotment.

In other words, you can continue doing business without worrying about your
FTP service provider shutting down your FTP site.

7. Technical Support Via Email:

Avoid any provider that only responds to technical problems via email. There
are a lot of providers out there that have great prices but they lack the
support you may need. Remember, sooner or later you will have a question or
problem and you will want to speak with a live person.

Choose a company that provides you with a technical support phone number, not
an email address. Call the number and ask for help! Make sure they answer the
phone and provide the type of you support you're looking for.

Now that you know the questions to ask and what to look for in an "FTP
Hosting" service, you're ready to go out and find one. The best place to
start looking is Google www.Google.com.
Just type in the phrase "FTP Hosting" and work your way through all
the selections. The "Seven Tips" outlined above will assist you in
quickly finding the best providers of "FTP Hosting."

Maximize Your Garage Sale Profits - Getting Customers

For a lot of people, summer time marks the start of garage sale season. Everybody likes to find a bargain. If you have a garage full of items like old sports equipment, clothes the kids have grown out of, hangers, dishes, or knick-knacks have a garage sale of your own. This article will discuss the importance of effective advertising to maximize your garage sale profits.

According to a recent survey, most garage sale shoppers locate the sales they are going to peruse in three different ways: newspaper ads, internet ads, and signs. If you do not advertise you will not have very many customers. If you decide to take out a newspaper ad ask a few of your neighbors if they might want to do a garage sale the same weekend that you are planning. A multi-family sale is much more likely to attract interest among those who peruse the classifieds.

Most newspapers offer package deals for garage sale ads that will allow you to run a 4 line ad for 1-3 days for about $20. The best days for garage sales are Saturdays and Sundays. You want the ad to be in the paper the morning of and the day before your sale, so be sure to submit your ad the Monday before your garage sale weekend since this is the deadline most papers have for ads to be included in the weekend paper. You can submit your ad in person, by phone, or online on your local paper's website.

Advertising on the web in places like Craigslist.com is a great source for free advertising. Follow the easy to use instructions on their website to post your ad. You will want to post your ad on craigslist.com closer to your sale date to be towards the top of the list. Other internet sources for advertising your sale include facebook.com or myspace.com if you already have an account and network base with those sites.

Be sure to place clearly marked signs, so garage sale connoisseurs can easily navigate their way to your driveway. Cardboard works just fine for this, but if you want to get serious purchase a few pieces of brightly colored poster board, a large permanent black marker, and some duct tape. Plan out your signs and their slogans before you start writing them up. Determine how many you will need to make by mapping out where you will be placing them. The best locations are at the major intersections surrounding your sale location and at any right or left turns along the way. At each intersection you will need to have a sign facing both directions of traffic. The intersection signs should have the address, the time the sale begins and ends, as well as the words GARAGE SALE clearly and legibly written. Place a sign with the words "garage sale" and a directional arrow at any left or right turns on the way to your location from the intersections. Utilize smaller pieces of poster board with arrows drawn on them to post below your signs. Put your signs up either the night before or the morning of your sale.

Advertising in the paper, on the internet, and with bright, easy-to-read signs that lead to your sale will significantly increase your customer base. However, getting customers to come is only half the work towards a profitable garage sale. The sequel to this article will talk about how to maximize your garage sale profits through organization and presentation.
