Yes, I said 1989 – it has been almost 20 years since Indiana Jones has graced the big screen. However, it must have seemed like yesterday to the fans.

Celebrities and Commencement Season

It’s graduation time, and there’s no better way to draw attention to your school’s commencement ceremony than to invite a big name celebrity to address students.

His truck, in which his Transformers sequel Revenge of the Fallen co-star Isabel Lucas was a passenger, flipped over as in a West Hollywood intersection as he tried to make a left turn.
