Movie vs the Summer Games

Well on the movie Scene this week.
With the Olympics looming in the air, it seems that the movie producer have scattered and left the hottest month of the year to the Olympians.
This week opening today will be the new and Chinese culture infused The Mummy 3 – Tomb of the Dragon Emperor.
It’s still starring the humorous Brendan Fraser, who this year alone had and will be adding up to 4 movies on the movie board. An impressive line up in a year for one A- listed actor, though he had been missing for quite sometimes now.
Anyhow the movie also starring Jet Li, who was thought to be retiring into his charity work but I’ve seen so much more of him than any other Chinese actor this year.
And of course not to forget Datuk Michelle Yeoh, if some of the US peep don’t know what “Datuk” means, it’s something like Lord or Knight in England.
Now all jokes aside, the movie is actually pretty good. I’m not sure how the visual effect is going to be. But I believe the storyline is good enough. With one of the main character played by newcomer Luke Ford as Brendan’s son, though Brendan looks like he’s not really a father with such a son that old. Luke played a pretty convincing role. Anyway before the movie cool comes before the games, you might wanna catch this last breeze of summer Blockbuster. So enjoy the same excitement you have for the last 2 movies. But I’m pretty sure you’ll miss Rachel Weiss present in the series.


It seems that The Dark Knight is riding the Bat-mobile pretty well this year. Everybody is still flocking to watch the Dark Crusader this week, making it the fastest rising movie to hit 300 Million in 10 days. While people are not bothered by the long 3 hours show, like me, I guess it’s really possible that the ensemble will be riding straight into the OSCAR hall. Let’s keep the finger cross.


While we have not gone out of the subject I’d like to give a shout out to all the Olympians who are now in the stadium of China now. Best of Luck guys.
