The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor

I loved the other Mummy movies. I know they're crazy cheesy, but I've never been ashamed to admit I like some cheese.

This movie goes way far and beyond cheese.

The script is not good. They try so hard for a laugh. But not in a funny way.

"The yak yakked!"

I wanted to give this at least a three based on Michell Yeoh alone. She is awesome in everything. But even she couldn't save this movie.

I thought I'd be okay with the setting not being Egypt, but I was wrong. I think that's part of what I liked about the other two. There's not a lot of films out there being made in Egypt. China, though . . . there's tons of those.

Doll fell asleep in the first thirty minutes. Usually, I can't believe she does that. But with this one, I totally understood.

The Happening

This was a decent idea. It just went nowhere.

I think Shyamalan gets lazier with each film. He decent talent and somehow even the acting is horrible. Raw and I were openly laughing at Marky Mark.

I watched some "the making of" before I saw the movie. All of the actors were gushing and said things like "We usually get the shot in one take. He comes to the set and knows exactly what he wants."

After watching the movie, I was thinking "He wants that? Crap???"
