"American Idol" recap, Indy 4, & new Shia trailer

Here are a few things that are on my mind today:
  • American Idol last night was satisfying and fun, and I really wouldn't mind seeing either David win the crown. It was a little strange to see Simon lean so heavily toward Little David, especially since I thought the two contestants had a pretty even night altogether. But, going back to what I said last week, I think Little David will take the cake, and will become this generation's David Cassidy. Bless his goofy, lyric-forgetting little heart.
  • I get to see Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull tomorrow, and can't tell you how excited I am. Like Lord of the Rings level excited. The reviews have been overwhelmingly positive, and I even went out and bought the soundtrack yesterday (nice to see John Williams back on the shelves again). Wendy got me an early Father's Day gift of Indiana Jones Legos, so I think I'm good to go for the show tomorrow. Is there any chance my expectations are a little too high?
  • Finally, I saw a trailer online today for a new Shia Lebeouf thriller coming out this September. Normally I wouldn't post a trailer for a movie I know nothing about, but the trailer intrigued me. The premise reminds me a little of The Matrix's early scenes, along with some conspiracy thrillers from the 90s (Sneakers, The Net, etc.). Add a healthy dose of The Bourne Identity, and you get Eagle Eye. Check out the trailer and let me know what you think.

I got to see Indiana Jones today with Danny and Axton (I know, I'm one of those moms who take the baby into the movie theater...and it worked just fine!) I loved the movie though! What did you think?
