If Only Indiana Jones 4 Had Been As Thrilling As Its Concept Art
If only Indiana Jones and the Kingdom Of The Crystal Skull had been as dynamic as the movie's concept art. A gorgeous new book from Lucas Books and Ballantine, The Complete Making Of Indiana Jones, is chock full of art and production photos for Skull that make me feel a bit wistful for the finished product. Catacombs lit by glowing alien devices, shimmering skeletons and the obligatory exploding heads, all burst with so much promise that was never quite realized. Click through for a shiny gallery.

Red Hot Cate Blanchett In New Indiana Jones Pics
A bunch of new publicity photos came out for Indiana Jones and the Kingdom Of The Crystal Skull — and Cate Blanchett looks totally smoking hot as an evil Soviet agent. I'd had my doubts about her weird hairdo before, but seeing some of the close-up publicity shots has converted me to Cate's brand of Communism. Some of the photos are ones we've featured before, but in better picture quality (or without a stray fender head.) Click through for a gallery. More » -

First Look at Indiana Jones in the Cobwebby Alien Dungeon
Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull has a new photograph out today, all packed with cobwebs and spiders. It also looks like Shia LaBeouf's uniform throughout the film will be his greaser biker jacket, helping hammer home the whole "Hey, I'm a teenaged rebel, man!" attitude. If he picks up the whip once and swings it, we're calling shenanigans. We've got the full story on what's happening in this photo. More »
