Harrison Ford Saves the day?
The storyline is okay, all though we know this could never happen, well at least now, the thought of if it did, would it really go down like this? I don't think so, but when you add Harrison Ford to the mix, it's so worth it. Yes, Harrison is younger then than now, so his skills are in his high prime, which makes it even better.
With an all star cast, Glenn Close as the vice president, Gary Oldman as the bad guy and of course the great Dean Stockwell as the Defense Secretary need I say anything more? Well, yes.
I loved the cinematography for this film, being an film from the late 90s (1997) it really showcased the right time to use CGI. Not saying that some of it wasn't cheesy, yes, but for the most part it's a non stop action movie.
What can I say, Harrison Ford saves the day.

I love Raiders of the Lost Ark. The first installment is the best of the series, in my opinion. It's a great introduction into the world of Indiana Jones. Harrison Ford is perfect as Indy. It's a good action adventure film, and one of my favorites.

A very average thriller that is quite slow at times. Lacking a lot of action and suspense. It's starting to look quite dated now and I think I got it mixed up with Presumed innocent, also starring Harrison Ford, which is a much better thriller as I recall.

This is one of those books I have been meaning to read for a while. It was a lot of fun to get some background on Carrie as well as tidbits on some of my other faves such as Debbie Reynolds, Mark Hamil, and Harrison Ford. The book is mostly about Carrie’s relationship with Harrison during the filming of the first film. I really liked hearing Carrie describe her life in the audiobook and it was fun that Billie Lourd also narrated some of the journal entries.

“I had never been Princess Leia before and now I would be her forever. I would never not be Princess Leia. I had no idea how profoundly true that was and how long forever was.”
Carrie found these diaries shortly before she died and formed them into a book. To be honest, I would have liked less about the affair between her and Harrison Ford - she didn’t seem to say much anyway, even though it took up most of the book. I wanted more about the movies and the other actors. Ah well. I’ll bet Harrison Ford wasn’t too impressed though.
And there’s no denying that Carrie Fisher could write. One of those books that as soon as you’ve started, you’ve already finished (this is a good thing!).

American awesomeness
The first time I watched this iconic movie, I am pretty sure I wasn't old enough to appreciate more than young Harrison Ford in his sweet ride, the music, and the great representation of souped up hot rods. When I watched it as an adult it was like watching a totally different movie! And even now, when I watch it I realize the depth and development of the characters, and the personal and political reflections of the time. This movie brought Coppola to my attention, and introduced the idea of how a good director can weave so many minute details into characters and themes.
America Graffiti is one of the best 'coming of age' movies I have seen. Well worth watching

Cat and Mouse Chase
The Fugitive- a gripping action packed thriller with suspense and drama all the way up to the credits, not one moment is boring. The chemisty between Harrison Ford and Tommy Lee Jones is excellent.
The plot: Wrongfully accused of murdering his wife, Richard Kimble (Harrison Ford) escapes from the law in an attempt to find her killer and clear his name. Pursuing him is a team of U.S. marshals led by Deputy Samuel Gerard (Tommy Lee Jones), a determined detective who will not rest until Richard is captured. As Richard leads the team through a series of intricate chases, he discovers the secrets behind his wife's death and struggles to expose the killer before it is too late.
One thing that got me was when Harrison Ford charcter jumps off from a freaking dam and doesnt get injured or killed from it. That jump was high up, he should of gotting injured or killed, but nope he is perfectly fine, no marks, no broken bones, no nothing. Even tommy lee jones charcter says "he's dead. Their no way he survived that". Watch the sence and tell me he should of gotting injured or killed.
Other than that, this movie is excellent.
