The Mummy Returns

http://www.iesb.net/scriptreviews/mummy3.php

From Moviehole.net, (("The Mummy 3" will be set many years - apparently the 1940s - after the events of the last film, "The Mummy Returns". Though O'Connell (Fraser) and Evelyn (Weisz) are still very much in the picture, it'll be up to their grown-up son, Alex, to do the Mummy mashing. The new Mummy - Yep, Arnold Vosloo will not be returning- will apparently be the desiccated remains of China's first uber-Emperor Qin Shihuang, who wants revenge on those who turned his team into stone all those years ago. [You can read a review of the script at IESB].))

Above, is a script review of the new Mummy 3 movie. I do not like some of the elements in this one. Like the reviewer states, this movie is set in 1940 and in China, there should be some subplots dealing with the Japanese invasion in China and the rest of Asia during this time. Here, there are only a few mentions of it.

BTW, Moviehole.net reports that ((today that Brendan Fraser and Rachel Weisz will indeed return for the next "Mummy" film.))

Brendan Fraser doesn’t have much else to do, so of course he’ll join. (Is there a Monkeybone 2 in the works?)

I actually enjoyed the first two Mummy movies. Hopefully they'll keep the momentum with this one.

No doubt, I loved the first one, here's the bad thing though, the kid is now grown up and is now the star of the movie. Even though that might change.

i hope the kid isn't the actual star, because the kid annoyed me.

I'll have to check the timeline of the movies, Paul. But I think by the 40s he'll be around 16-18

Shannon Fill: Where is she now? (Ensign Sito Jaxa)

Shannon Fill:   Where is she now? SF has been reviewing TNG seasons o ver at his blog. And, the episode Lower Decks came up. I recently watched Lower Decks on Net-flicks and found myself amazed with the performance from the young and lovely Shannon Fill , who played the character Ensign Sito Jaxa. Jaxa showed up in two episodes of TNG, actually they were two important episodes.   There was a nice arc to her character too.   Her character was killed off in Lower Decks , but there were plans to bring her back for an episode of DS9. From Memory Alpha , ((One story considered by the writing staff concerned the return of  Sito Jaxa  from  TNG : " Lower Decks ". The pitch had Sito being imprisoned under inhumane conditions and suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder.  Robert Hewitt Wolfe  developed the story for some time. Feeling that there was insufficient explanation of Sito's condition, he had Sito killing her cellmate, whom she'd become cl...

Shrek the Third

Shrek the Third It’s not really that funny. Shrek 3 isn’t very funny or entertaining. It’s not even a bad movie, it’s just boring. While the other two movies tried to give us some adult humor, with Dreamworks ripping Disney a new one in both movies, Shrek 3 simply doesn’t bother to be funny. I probably laughed three times during the entire time. The allure and humor of the first two films are gone in Shrek 3. So, who is to blame for this movie? It’s the screenwriters. The script is the reason this movie doesn’t work. The story is like that cheap soda you buy from a knock-off brand: it taste bland and doesn’t have that kick that the real sodas have. The jokes feel incomplete and dry. As I watched the movie, I came up with better jokes and storyline progressions than the actual movie. There was an ENTIRE subplot about King Arthur and his misadventures in high school cut from the film. Check the DVD for some very good deleted scenes that should have been left i...

That F'ed up story about Pierre Piper and her Boyfriend (An update for "shorty" in the main page. Shoutout. )

Image
At work, I asked a fellow dude about an adult actress.     I asked, “Who is that blond  pornstar  that has braces and looks like a younger sister to Elsa Jean?”   “Pierre Piper,” he replied with  certainty .    Well, this is one of those f'ed up stories .  PP, I mean Pierre Piper, is one of those  p ornstars  that has made it to meme status around the Internet.  She did that famous Interracial picture with the black guys surrounding her.  Whereas I find Elsa to be cute, I am a little more uneasy with seeing Pierre in scenes.  She has that small frame and braces that make me think Chris Hanson might show  up  at my house.  There are literal photos of her as an adult that make her look much-much younger and that’s disturbing.  There is a big difference between a Riley Reid and a Pierre Piper.     Anyway, one of the darker elements about PP is that she lost a child a few years back...
