Why you wouldn’t want to visit: It has booby traps, and unfriendly locals located nearby. The Well of Souls, Cairo, Egypt The location of the Ark of the Covenant. “Snakes, why did it have to be snakes?”"

Going from Star Wars to Indiana

“Warning: SpoilersGoing from Han Solo to Indiana Jones fits Harrison Ford like a glove. He is an archeology professor that travels to teach his college students about what he preaches as well as an adventurer.

There he must rescue an ark there to bring home to the USA and must try to escape from the Nazi* while dealing with former girlfriend of Marian that is Karen Allen who should had been a bigger star IMHO.

Indiana is fearless of course when it comes to snakes that is an exception.” read more

“It's the classic adventure of the 80s.  Indiana Jones, our hero, kills every bad guy he comes across (and they are Nazis so no loss) in pursuit of a mystical treasure. Eventually he gets caught and tied up but then all hell breaks loose thanks to the magic of the Ark.  I think it was the dark humor that really inspired a ton of action films to come after this. You can see how finding new ways to kill bad guys became an artform starting with this movie.” read more

" Notes: Since I'm a huge fan of Indiana Jones, of course, I just love this flick. Even though it is not my favorite one in this franchise (that would be the 3rd installment), it is still quite awesome. Indeed, when I was a kid, I saw it so many times with my father but after so many years later, I keep watching it from time to time and it is still so damned entertaining. Basically, with this movie, Steven Spielberg set up the golden rules for this mighty franchise and he introduced to us one of"
