Last night we saw the new Indiana Jones movie, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, at the Megaplex 20 at The District. This was another movie that we heard some mixed reviews of and a lot of talk about it not living up to the hype, kind of like the new Star Wars movies, but I thought it was good. A lot of stuff that happens in the movie is unrealistic, but that is how all of the Indiana Jones movies are. Harrison Ford did good as an older Indiana Jones and Shia LaBeouf also did a good job.

There was a little bit of drama at the theater last night. We pulled up at the theater and saw lots of people exiting the building but just assumed a big movie must have just ended but as we got closer to the front door we realized there was a lot of people just standing around not going inside and not leaving. It turned out that there was a small fire at the Mayan Express in the lobby and the fire alarm went off so they had to evacuate the building. This meant that our movie got pushed back 40 minutes, but that is better than having it interrupted or canceled because of the fire. The Mayan Express is actually where we ate last week when we saw Prince Caspian. I’m not sure why we went there, I’ve been to the Mayan restaurant before and the food isn’t that good, the place is cool and they have divers, but at the Mayan Express you don’t get the atmosphere or the divers, just the food with a higher price tag. It still wasn’t good and maybe it’s a good thing they had a fire, keeps other people from eating their overpriced food! It didn’t look like there was much damage so I’m sure they’ll be open very soon again.
