Eagle Eye - short flick critic
Movie review in on sentence: Young fella faces his easy going life turned upside-down, as he suddenly becomes a top terrorist suspect – despite a poor ending an entertaining, popcorn movie.
The plot: Despite his exceptionally high IQ Jerry Shaw (Shia LaBeouf), a Stanford drop-out makes his living working Mc-jobs and just taking easy. Until on day he comes home and finds his run down apartment filled with weapons, ammo and all kind of terrorist stuff. Next thing that happens is a phone call and a female voice telling him to flee the premises immediately, since the feds were underway to raid the place. What follows is an impressive run for life spiced up with an excessive destruction derby. And the apparently superior voice, constantly seeing everything and guiding Jerry.
Flickcritique says: Once the race gets started Eagle Eye totally rocks! Jerry has to run all the time in order to stay alive. Along his ordeal he finds a (female/hot!) mate, single mom Rachel (Michelle Monaghan), which is a bit of a stereotype but since she’s very attractive it’s kinda fine by me 
As much as I enjoyed the fast paced run, as much I was disappointed with the predictable ending. Very Hollywood-style 
Anyways, I enjoyed Eagle Eye, it’s a nice popcorn movie 
Watch it if you liked: The Net (1995) with Sandra Bullock as a hermit coder facing identity theft, I, Robot (2004) with Will Smith as a cop fighting rebellious machines or Enemy of the State (1998), again with Will Smith becoming enemy of th state by coincidence – Eagle Eye is a bit similar to all three of them

Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull
In a nutshell: Aging Indy faces his forth challenge, chasing another ancient treasure, this time in a breakneck race against the commies (damn them!). Another Indiana Jones adventure - worth watching once
The story: In the middle of the Cold War, the Soviets seek for what they assume was an ancient psychic super weapon that makes the A-Bomb look like a kids toy. In order to get it, they need the help of Dr. Henry Walton Jones, Jr. aka Indiana Jones. Soon, the evil Reds, led by pageboy style cut Irina Spalko find out Indy is not as cooperative as they wished he was The settings change, the race for the price speeds up, the effects become more and more impressive… guess how the story ends up? 
Flickcritique says: I was concerned my hero was going to be exploit but the forth episode, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull is actually quiet good. I loved the hot pursuits! And Harrison Ford’s sense of humor! And the impressive CGI (watch out for the mushroom cloud!). Only the suffering from an Oedipus complex sidekick is a little annoying but I can look over this 
What I really liked however was the small hints and links to the previous Indy movies
Conclusion: It’s a typical Indiana Jones movie, even though Harrison Ford isn’t as young any more, as he was shooting the previous ones. I did not like much what the treasure turned out to be but I’d still recommend the movie to all Indy fans. And even if you think the previous Indianan Jones movies were prehistoric, give it a try, it’s much better the any recently released archeology-007 James Bond crossovers, as the “National Treasure” flicks
Watch it if you liked: Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981), Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom (1984), Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (1989)
