Bury the Mummy
In case you didn't know, I watch an average of 2 movies in the cinema every year. So when I actually buy a ticket, I would really hope that it's good. Just the other day, I watched my 2nd movie of the year and I must say that it was quite banal. A far cry from the enjoyment I experienced with "Iron Man". Perhaps it was my own fault for choosing to watch "The Mummy III: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor". Anything with III in it can't be good (porn not withstanding). Just look at "Alien III". "Pirates of the Caribbean III". "The Matrix III". Watched it at Midvalley Megamall and traffic was monstrous as usual. Parked at the first illegal parking we could find.
SK and I took the service lift up to the 3rd floor, but she had left her phone in the car, so I volunteered to get it for her. By the time I got up and manoeuvered out of the labyrinth of passageways, I couldn't find her any where. I kept calling her office phone having forgotten that she was no longer using it. I went back to look for her fearing that she might have lost her way in there. No sign of her. I resorted to walking around. I then received a call from her. Found out that she was at the concierge at the ground floor. I flamed her through the phone for walking off where I couldn't have possibly searched. People stared.
Turns out that The Gardens does not have a single public phone. She found the only accessible one at the concierge counter. That's high class shopping for ya. Their target group of customers won't be caught dead using a pay phone. Killed time at Yoyo Cafe before the movie started. Do not order their iced honey lemon juice. Yuck. The only consolation was that I got to oogle at a cute couple sitting nearby. About the movie: original Evy gone, replaced by someone who looks more like the hero's aunt. No chemistry. Uncool mummy. Alex grows up to be an annoying brat. Sub-engaging story. Neither here nor there. Oh, how they screwed up the scene set up by the previous movies. There shouldn't be a "The Mummy IV".
