Delirious
It's a little slow at first, but I found it more interesting at every
point than parts of The Bank Job; maybe only because Steve Buscemi makes
any scene worth watching. I loved the score and the soundtrack. It's a
little weird that there were no attractive people in it, not even one,
but I guess that's what happens when you make a movie for $2 million (or
was it three?). The lead actress reminded me of Alex Borstein, which
was really distracting since she was supposed to be pretty. But, that
aside, it was honest and satirical and fantasy all in the right places,
so I enjoyed it.
The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor
Hands-down the best in the franchise. I actually liked it, although
maybe after The Scorpion King, I would've enjoyed anything. Also, I
think I'm becoming immune to the terrible camp of the family. Not only
did they switch out actresses for Evelyn, but they also
switched out her character, which was a little weird, but whatever; like
I said, the family's going to suck no matter what, so you've got to
focus on the other part of the movie, which of course had Asian people,
so I enjoyed it thoroughly. I was also happy to see Jonathan, which was
unexpected, but I liked his character in this one. And I liked the yeti,
and the sorceress. Also, it wasn't in the desert for once, and they
didn't do the stupid repetition thing.
The Mummy Returns
Rachel looks much better here and I also liked this movie more, although
I wasn't a fan of all the stuff they repeated from last time; too
campy, but then again, so's the whole series.
The Mummy
Ugh, Rachel Weisz, why do you look so terrible in this? Also, fake hair,
bad times. The opening half-naked hot lady scene was the best part of
the whole movie. It was kind of hard to think of Imhotep as a bad guy,
too, since all he was trying to do was resurrect his girlfriend.
The Bank Job
This was the first Jason Statham movie I saw, and I wasn't really impressed.
I liked the 70's London setting. The "black power" subplot was lame, but I guess it was necessary since it really happened. Overall, it was too amateur and small-timey to be interesting, and I didn't find the ending to be realistic at all, probably because that's not even what happened.

Step Brothers
It was about what I expected. A little lame, a little good. Reilly
bothered me less than I thought he would. Mary Steenburgen looks fake
tanned and terrible; I'm not sure this is a movie that really needs to
be seen on the big screen. It does have more laughs than you see in the
previews, although those are the main ones, but there are also a couple
of plot points beyond "I hate you, now I like you," which is good. Best
line in the entire thing: "Sticks and stones may break my bones, but I'm
going to kick you in the balls repeatedly."
