Here's a home in Riverton
Julie & John like.
We went to opening night of...
INDIANA JONES and the
Dial of Destiny
directed by James Manfold.
--from Wikipedia
“According to Mangold and Ford,
Dial of Destiny is about age, time
and family relationships. Mangold
said the film ‘is not about aging
per se, but time — the way time
travels for all of us, the way we
all get older as the world
changes around us.’
“…the film is a sequel
to Indiana
Jones and the Kingdom of
the
Crystall Skull (2008) and serves
as the fifth and final
installment
in the Indiana Jones
franchise.
The film stars Harrison
Ford in
his fifth and final portrayal of
archaeologist Indiana
Jones.
Made at a cost of $294 million.
We five loved it!
Well, some loved it
more than others.
Here's Julie's post from fb"
"Mixed reviews from our group.
At the end of the day-super
impressive an 80 yo is
acting at this level.
Go get ‘em Indy!"
SATURDAY, JULY 1, 2023 Family is Everything…
