The Mummy 3: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor (2008) Movie Review #2
The general rule is that the more sequels a film spawns, the crappier they are. Take “The Mummy” (1999). It had a cheesy B-film feel to it with an Indiana Jones vibe. Set in Egypt, it contained some romance, laughs and high adventure. It was entertaining summer fare that introduced us to Oded Fehr. (Yowza.) [...]

“The Moss” is hotly tipped Hong Kong director Derek Kwok’s follow-up to his much praised debut “The Pye-Dog”, and sees him sticking to the same territory with another gritty tale of urban angst. Here, the tone is somewhat darker, and the film delves even further into the lives of criminals and dirty cops, whilst still [...]

Granted, “The Scorpion King” with The Rock was no masterpiece; it was a mildly entertaining movie that was probably too generic for its own good, but it’s hard to argue that the film, directed by Chuck Russell, did what it did very well. And yeah, having a barely dressed Kelly Hu slinking around onscreen didn’t [...]

The gang’s all back for another rousing mummy adventure in “Mummy 3: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor”. Well, kinda. The gang is sorta back together, if your definition of “gang” is two-thirds of the original stars, and the addition of a new, potential spin-off character. Oh well, two-thirds is something, right? And as long as [...]

The plot for Fissure works on several different levels: First, it takes our commonly held concept of time, and turns that on its head. Detective Paul Grunning (played by James MacDonald) is the film’s main character who inadvertently walks into a scientific experiment where time has mysteriously been divided and reshuffled, much like a deck [...]

With John Woo’s mighty “Red Cliff” having been in production for an age before finally storming into Chinese cinemas, it was always inevitable that a number of other films would attempt to steal a little of its thunder, or at least to cash in on its inevitable success. The highest profile and arguably the most [...]

The film, Red, turns good and evil inside out. Everyone loves Avery. He is a dog-lover, war veteran, fisherman, beer drinker, and widower living in a typical small American town. He has a kind, sincere face, weathered by life and soulful eyes that belie a secret tragedy. Three teenaged boys accost [...]

Let’s call it synchronicity. Last week, I was looking through the new DVD releases on Netflix, and I came across “The Tattooist,” a supernatural horror film about an American tattooist (Jason Behr) who, after swiping an ancient Samoan tattooing tool unleashes an avenging “evil” spirit. Being a connoisseur of supernatural horror, I considered adding it [...]

“Mongol” was nominated for a 2007 Academy Award, but it only just started making the festival rounds earlier this year, beginning at the Palm Springs International Film Festival and most recently screening at the Wisconsin Film Festival. Its limited cinematic release began on June 6, and since I live dead center of the United States, [...]

Hey look, kids, it’s a script review for a horror movie! And not just any horror movie, but the upcoming Michael Bay-produced remake of “Friday the 13th” to boot.
