Tomb Raider
Jul. 31st, 2003 09:58 pmBetter than the first, I think - more of an Indiana Jones-type storyline than straight video-game spectacle (no cheesy stone statues coming to life). Red Dwarf dept: Chris Barrie is again Lara Croft's butler, meeting her on the top of a submarine in full uniform with a towel draped across his arm, which is just, somehow, very Rimmeresque in his slavish attention to protocol! And did I mention that the movie features a fabulous leather riding coat (cannot find a decent online photo)?
Salon may be right - Angelina Jolie is the best James Bond since Sean Connery (certainly the hottest since Sean!), but I'm thinking she'd be even better in the new Indiana Jones - make her Harrison Ford's daughter, or niece, second cousin twice removed, or something, but he's getting a bit long in the tooth to do the role again!

Personally, my dream flick involves an action-adventure starring Angelina & Halle Berry as uber spy chicks...can't wait till it comes out...
