<strong>Title:</strong> The Mummy<br/>
<strong>Year:</strong> 1999<br/>
<strong>Director:</strong> Stephen Sommers<br/>
<strong>Plot:</strong> Loosely adapted from the classic 1932 horror film starring <a href="/players/P____36942/default.aspx" style='text-decoration:underline'>Boris Karloff</a>, The Mummy is set in Egypt, where over 3,000 years ago the high priest Imhotep (played by <a href="/players/P____73817/default.aspx" style='text-decoration:underline'>Arnold Vosloo</a>) was given the all-important assignment of preparing the recently dead for their journey into the afterlife. However, Imhotep made one terrible mistake - he became smitten with Anck-Su-Namun, the mistress of the Pharaoh himself. Driven mad by jealousy and love, Imhotep murdered the Pharaoh, and his punishment was to be buried alive and suffer the torment of an eternal life in his wretched tomb. In 1925, a band of adventurers seeking fame and fortune - led by Rick O'Connel (<a href="/players/P____24843/default.aspx" style='text-decoration:underline'>Brendan Fraser</a>), an American expatriate who has joined the foreign legion, and Evelyn Carnarvon (<a href="/players/P___216376/default.aspx" style='text-decoration:underline'>Rachel Weisz</a>), an amateur archeologist - find a previously unknown burial site in Egypt. The team starts to dig, hoping to find lost riches, but instead they disturb the tomb of Imhotep, and soon the cursed priest rises from his grave to wreck vengeance on humanity. The Mummy was written and directed by <a href="/players/P___112124/default.aspx" style='text-decoration:underline'>Stephen Sommers</a>, whose previous cinematic journeys into the past include <a href=/films/18450/default.aspx style='text-decoration:underline'>The Jungle Book</a> and <a href=/films/506/default.aspx style='text-decoration:underline'>The Adventures Of Huck Finn</a>. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide<br/>

<strong>Body:</strong> 
Anticipating the worst from Diane English’s new remake of The Women is not just typical low expectations regarding remakes in general. My dread is specifically based on dissatisfaction with remakes and updates of films from the 1930s, arguably the best decade in cinema (it is certainly my favorite). While I may recognize and appreciate some favorable redos, such as DePalma’s Scarface (of which I’ve never really been a fan), Mazursky’s Down and Out in Beverly Hills and the multiple repeats from Hitchcock, I am more often disappointed with attempts to recreate ‘30s classics, even when I approach them with already low standards.
Worst, for me, doesn’t necessarily have to do with the quality of the film alone, especially when related to remakes and updates. The titles and versions I’ve selected are hardly the worst in terms of craft or production value — you’ll note there are no Dracula movies on this list — and a few would almost be acceptable if they were more unique or solitary works.


10. Return to Oz (1985)
I begin with a film that is not a remake in any form but tone. Yet I still see it as a kind of response to and update of the far more popular classic The Wizard of Oz (1939), which was viewed by some as not faithful enough to the source literature of L. Frank Baum.  It was a bit of a guilty pleasure for me growing up, but I lost regard for the film after suffering through a professor’s defensive screening of it on the last day of a film history course. Sure, it’s truer to Baum and the illustrations of W.W. Denslow and John R. Neill, but as MGM’s beautiful 1939 interpretation shows, it’s better to be imaginative than loyal when translating works between mediums.

9. The Front Page (1974)
Billy Wilder’s version of the Ben Hecht and Charles MacArthur play, which was first adapted to film in 1931, is plenty hilarious thanks to stars Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau, as well as to a slew of terrific character actors, including Vincent Gardenia, Charles Durning, Austin Pendleton and Dick O’Neill. Also, the film’s homosexual innuendo is an interesting way of acknowledging Howard Hawks’ 1940 gender altering redo, His Girl Friday. I’d definitely choose Wilder’s film over the subsequent big screen version, the 1988 update Switching Channels, but compared to earlier adaptations and to Wilder’s earlier work, the ’74 Front Page is still quite a dissatisfying effort. My biggest problems are with the film’s artificial look, particularly its use of costumes that look more appropriate for a costume party than a period film, the gaudiness of the dialogue, especially the double entendres, and the miscasting of both Carol Burnett and Susan Sarandon (though my annoyance with the women in the film provide further acceptance of the gay undertones).

8. The Distinguished Gentleman (1992)
This loose and uncredited reworking of Mr. Smith Goes to Washington (1939) could have been a worthy update had it included more laughs and more of a bite. The concept of placing a small-time con man in the big-time con of politics is ripe for good comedy and satire, plus it makes me think of the respectable crook/crooked respectability angle of Lubitsch’s Trouble in Paradise. Too bad the script was unsatisfactory (not surprising given it came partly from the screenwriter behind Leonard Part 6) and star Eddie Murphy was at the awkward moment of his career when he somehow lost his usual talent for comedy.

7. Flash Gordon (1980)
I have to admit that I do actually love this movie. Well, to be fair, I only really love Queen’s score, Brian Blessed’s voice and Max Von Sydow’s makeup. The rest I just like. Anyway, despite my guilty pleasure in watching the thing on television throughout my childhood, it’s neither a good movie nor a successful update. It doesn’t really do the ‘30s Flash Gordon serials justice by being either a big-budget improvement or a tonally and narratively faithful throwback (comparatively, Star Wars succeeded at doing both).

6. The Hunchback of Notre Dame (1996)
Disney’s idea to animate Victor Hugo’s novel was of questionable taste, but the studio’s need to so closely imitate William Dieterle’s 1939 adaptation was of questionable creative judgment. When I watch Disney’s Robin Hood, I’m not reminded of how much better Michael Curtiz’s 1938 version is; similarly, I’m able to appreciate the animated Beauty and the Beast and Alice and Wonderland without thinking of previous adaptations. Especially given the controversial lewdness and the simplification of the story, Disney’s version of Hunchback seems an insult to the source novel, Dieterle’s film and Charles Laughton’s characterization.

5. Meet Joe Black (1998)
I’m a hypocrite to criticize anyone’s inability to be concise, but a three-hour remake of a 78-minute film (1934’s Death Takes a Holiday) displays a level of excess that even my meandering can’t compare to. Don’t get me wrong, though; I’m no hater of long films. But if you can make a long story short, it’s preferred that you do so.

4. The Mummy (1999)
There’s no problem with reimagining a classic horror film as a blockbuster action movie, but taking something so iconically frightening as Boris Karloff’s Imhotep (in the ‘32 version) and updating the look with laughably cartoonish CGI is unfortunate. I know I’m on the other side of the fence from the moviegoers who made this a hit, but I would have actually enjoyed it more if the villain were depicted as a guy wrapped in bandages.

3. Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein (1994)
Of course, CG may have been better than this. In fact, the only thing worse than Robert De Niro as the Creature would have been a hand-drawn animated Frankenberry in the role.

2. King Kong (2005)
Technically, the 1976 remake with Jeff Bridges is a worse film, but that version at least took some interesting liberties in updating the 1933 classic. Peter Jackson’s intention seemed to be only to faithfully recreate the original with better special effects. And given the fact that many of the CG sequences are embarrassingly awful, I have to say this film was a more monumental failure in terms of purpose and promise. Jackson gave me yet another reason for questioning the point of filmmakers remaking their favorite films.

1. Mr. Deeds (2002)
Other than the minor way in which this comedy updates the conservative message of Mr. Deeds Goes to Town (1936), there is really no reason for Capra’s film to have been remade, especially with such broad, immature comedy from Adam Sandler. While the original Mr. Deeds completely speaks to and of its time, this includes no topicality, no compelling historical or contemporary relevancy and no lasting cultural significance.

<strong>Body:</strong> Well, my persistent fear of fraternities throughout college started after seeing the amusingly bad The Skulls in which a Yale fraternitiy is cover for a secret group that can pretty much do whatever they want. The Da Vinci Code deals with all those various secret groups like the Prior of Scion and the Knights Templar. I just remember Tom Hanks and his creepy semi-mullet that made him look like a child molester. Tomb Raider mentioned the Illuminati but never really explained too much about it. More mainstream are of course is Harry Potter and the Order of the Pheonix which probably doesn't need any explanation; Batman Begins had the League of Shadows which again probably needs to explaining; Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events had that group that the children's parents belonged to and were trying to find out about through the movie; The Mummy which had that secret group of nomads that were protecting/guarding the pyramid from crazy morons like Brendan Fraser; and lastly Star Wars which in the newer trilogy introduced the Sith and that whole secret anti-Jedi group. My favorite films with mention of secret socieites are: Eyes Wide Shut which was already mentioned (when Tom Cruise's character gets called out during the ritual and is asked to strip gave me the willies when I first saw it); The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen which I ended up hating because it was nothing like the graphic novels which are so incredible; and Cruel Intentions. What you ask? Cruel Intentions? Well, the scene in which Sarah Michelle Gellar's character convinces the naive Selma Blair that being a bisexual slut means you are in a "secret society" is just plain hilarious. Other notable mentions are The Beach which was a group of hippie potheads inhabiting an isolated island off of Thailand and starting their own secret society, going to extreme measures to make sure it stays a secret and The Stepford Wives (remake - I didn't see the original) which was horrible but had it's moment of hilarity when the men of the gated community are all together at their secret clubhouse being complete nerds and fighting robots.  <br/>

<strong>Body:</strong>  During a climactic battle scene in &ldquo;The Mummy: Curse of the Tomb of the Something or Other,&rdquo; Brender Fraser's charactrer, What's His Name, bellows: &ldquo;I really hate mummies.&rdquo;(At least, I'm pretty sure he said, &ldquo;mummies,&rdquo; as there was nothing prior to this that would suggest he said &ldquo;mommies,&rdquo; as there was no strained parental issues of his discussed in this film.)   Regardless, I could not agree agree more, Brenden.   &ldquo;The Mummy&rdquo; is not so much a film as it is a marathon for the senses, testing the threshold your eyes and ears can endure.   When it's not busy reminding you of earlier, far better films, it's pounding your peepers and pummeling your drums into submission.   It's difficult to look past its flaws, for the mere conception of this film is one &ndash; a story as lifeless and dry as an empty sarcophagus, this third &ldquo;Mummy&rdquo; can't even muster enough credibility to pass its non-computer-generated cast as believable.   For example, the 27-year-old actor Luke Ford is apparently the college-aged kid of 39-year-old Frasier and 41-year-old Maria Bello, who plays Fraser's wife. The younger actor's rather difficult time trying to squelch his Australian accent only adds to the fact that he does not bare even a passing resemblance to the other actors. Except, of course, he shares the same crow's feet.   The film opens heavy on exposition, as if anyone really cared about that going into a &ldquo;Mummy&rdquo; movie. Talk of &ldquo;collections of mystical secrets,&rdquo; &ldquo;the Eye of Shangri-La&rdquo; and &ldquo;eternal youth&rdquo; are stiltingly read while generic shots of battling armies flash before us.   Then, we are treated to a shot of our now-retired hero, Indi... er, Rick O'Connell (played by Fraser), unsuccessfully fly fishing in one of those sad, slapsticky, I-can't-deal-with-retirement montages that serve as filler in films such as these.   &ldquo;The Mummy&rdquo; films have always been a pale copy of the &ldquo;Indiana Jones&rdquo; franchise, but in a summer in which Dr. Jones himself makes a (rather flat) return to the screen, Rick's re-entry into the adventure fray seems superfluous. There's even a shot where he stares at his old leather adventurin' jacket that's supposed to echo the iconic sight of Dr. Jones picking up his dusty fedora again. While watching, all we can think was, &ldquo;Oh, is that what he wore?&rdquo;   A car chase, countless bad puns, an army of undead, CGI- rendered (CGI standing for crappy, generic images), a countless loud, bland scenes later, and all is wrapped up and forgotten before pushing open the theater's exit door.   Fraser, as always, is a champ, completely comfortable with the fact that the majority of his co-stars are mere pixels, and he still manages to make the most of his &ldquo;Raiders&rdquo; - light role.   Rachel Weitz, who smartly bailed on this outing, has been replaced by Maria Bello ( &ldquo;A History of Violence&rdquo;) as Rick's British wife. While some critics have bemoaned the former;s absence, can they really say &ldquo;The Mummy&rdquo; films were such paragons of adventure solely because of her textured performance? At this point, I think she could have been replaced by a Colorform with little difference.   As mentioned earlier, the decision to advance the age of the son, last seen as a precious scamp in &ldquo;The Mummy Returns&rdquo; seven years ago, is rather awkward and jarring any time he shares the screen with his &ldquo;dad.&rdquo;   Action sequence after action sequence lifts bits from other films and appears edited with a ceiling fan, allowing shots strewn about in random order.

Regardless, I could not agree agree more, Brenden.   &amp;ldquo;The Mummy&amp;rdquo; is not so much a film as it is a marathon for the senses, testing the threshold your eyes and ears can endure.   When it's not busy reminding you of earlier, far better films, it's pounding your peepers and pummeling your drums into submission.   It's difficult to look past its flaws, for the mere conception of this film is one &amp;ndash; a story as lifeless and dry as an empty sarcophagus, this third &amp;ldquo;Mummy&amp;rdquo; can't even muster enough credibility to pass its non-computer-generated cast as believable.   For example, the 27-year-old actor Luke Ford is apparently the college-aged kid of 39-year-old Frasier and 41-year-old Maria Bello, who plays Fraser's wife. The younger actor's rather difficult time trying to squelch his Australian accent only adds to the fact that he does not bare even a passing resemblance to the other actors. Except, of course, he shares the same crow's feet.   The film opens heavy on exposition, as if anyone really cared about that going into a &amp;ldquo;Mummy&amp;rdquo; movie. Talk of &amp;ldquo;collections of mystical secrets,&amp;rdquo; &amp;ldquo;the Eye of Shangri-La&amp;rdquo; and &amp;ldquo;eternal youth&amp;rdquo; are stiltingly read while generic shots of battling armies flash before us.   Then, we are treated to a shot of our now-retired hero, Indi... er, Rick O'Connell (played by Fraser), unsuccessfully fly fishing in one of those sad, slapsticky, I-can't-deal-with-retirement montages that serve as filler in films such as these.   &amp;ldquo;The Mummy&amp;rdquo; films have always been a pale copy of the &amp;ldquo;Indiana Jones&amp;rdquo; franchise, but in a summer in which Dr. Jones himself makes a (rather flat) return to the screen, Rick's re-entry into the adventure fray seems superfluous. There's even a shot where he stares at his old leather adventurin' jacket that's supposed to echo the iconic sight of Dr. Jones picking up his dusty fedora again. While watching, all we can think was, &amp;ldquo;Oh, is that what he wore?&amp;rdquo;   A car chase, countless bad puns, an army of undead, CGI- rendered (CGI standing for crappy, generic images), a countless loud, bland scenes later, and all is wrapped up and forgotten before pushing open the theater's exit door.   Fraser, as always, is a champ, completely comfortable with the fact that the majority of his co-stars are mere pixels, and he still manages to make the most of his &amp;ldquo;Raiders&amp;rdquo; - light role.   Rachel Weitz, who smartly bailed on this outing, has been replaced by Maria Bello ( &amp;ldquo;A History of Violence&amp;rdquo;) as Rick's British wife. While some critics have bemoaned the former;s absence, can they really say &amp;ldquo;The Mummy&amp;rdquo; films were such paragons of adventure solely because of her textured performance? At this point, I think she could have been replaced by a Colorform with little difference.   As mentioned earlier, the decision to advance the age of the son, last seen as a precious scamp in &amp;ldquo;The Mummy Returns&amp;rdquo; seven years ago, is rather awkward and jarring any time he shares the screen with his &amp;ldquo;dad.&amp;rdquo;   Action sequence after action sequence lifts bits from other films and appears edited with a ceiling fan, allowing shots strewn about in random order. The final battle with an ancient undead terra cotta army (really, how threatening can an army be when its mere name suggests patio furnishings?) is routine and uninspired. The weapon-weidling skeletons only harken back to Ray Harryhausen's stop-motion animation of &amp;ldquo;Jason and the Argonauts.&amp;rdquo; But in the caffeinated hands of director Rob (&amp;ldquo;The Fast and the Furious&amp;rdquo;) Cohen, the memories are fleeting before it's on to the next strained attempt at humor or peril.

      <title>Spout Post: 10 Threequels That Took a Wrong Turn</title>

<strong>Body:</strong> 
The third part in Universal’s rebooted Mummy franchise takes the series in a new direction. Rather than set in Egypt and dealing again with the same old villain, Imhotep, The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor brings us to China and gives us a different sort of preserved corpse baddie. And it looks like the change could actually add some freshness to the franchise.
Of course, history would hint that such a move for the Mummy movies is a bad idea. While it seems beneficial in theory to redirect the focus of a series with the third installment, especially if the first sequel was too much a repetition of the original (a la The Mummy Returns), in practice many threequels mistakenly alter things for the worse. These aren’t necessarily the worst threequels ever made (*cough* X-Men: The Last Stand); they’re just some movies that took their series in a completely wrong turn.

Halloween III: Season of the Witch - Now viewed as an unfortunate detour in a long series involving the slasher Michael Myers, this misstep can apparently be blamed on John Carpenter and co-writer/producer Debra Hill, who agreed to a second sequel to Halloween only if it didn’t involve Myers. But what was the point? Sure, a franchise can work with unrelated sequels, but after two movies dealing with the same villain, it seems odd to switch it up so late in the game. Still, if this wasn’t such a terrible movie in general, it’s possible Halloween III could have worked as an intended beginning to an anthology franchise.

Batman Forever - I typically like to consider Joel Schumacher’s Batman movies a separate series from Tim Burton’s, but the few returning cast members (Michael Gough, Pat Hingle) are evidence that this is indeed a threequel to the 1989 Batman. Not that you’d otherwise know it from the complete change in tone from dark to candy colored (never mind the recast Batman/Bruce Wayne). Hopefully Christopher Nolan will continue with the latest run so someone like Shawn Levy doesn’t take over and make the caped crusader silly again.
Another Thin Man - Honestly, I could watch all of the Thin Man movies over and over until I die (Nora Charles is the most perfect woman ever written into creation), but this third installment of the alcohol-happy detective series commits one of the cardinal sins of sequels: it introduces a child. What fun is a couple of bickering, drunken lovers who also solve murders with a baby along for the ride? Even if the kid does end up being played by a very young Dean Stockwell by the fifth installment. The Mummy movies committed the same annoyance/error with the second movie (for Tomb of the Dragon Emperor the son is now thankfully an adult).
Look Who’s Talking Now - While the Thin Man movies were good enough with a cute dog and didn’t need to add in a cute kid, the Look Who’s Talking movies were inversely just fine with cute, talking babies and didn’t need to add in talking animals.
Crocodile Dundee in Los Angeles - Yet another threequel guilty of having a kid add-on. But it also commits the other annoying sin of relocating the franchise to a new setting. The rural meets urban fish out of water stuff doesn’t work nearly as much in L.A. as it does in NYC.
Smokey and the Bandit Part 3 - No threequel is going to be good if the main star drops out of the series and the sidekick attempts to take the place of the leading man. Well, maybe it would be okay if Iron Man 3 starred Terrence Howard only as War Machine, and maybe this movie would have actually worked if Jerry Reed stayed in the big rig and it was titled Smokey and the Trucker. But as it went down, the substitution just made us miss Burt Reynolds more.
Home Alone 3 - As far as replacements go, I don’t know what is worse, changing up the whole character and family, as was done with Home Alone 3, which basically just repeated the storyline of the original movie, or the made-for-TV Home Alone 4, which recast characters from the first two movies. Either way, Fox should have just continued the series with Macauley Culkin, despite the fact that he was growing way out of his cute years by the end of the second movie. Home Alone 3 should have brought John Hughes back to focusing on high school kids and made it like a mix of Home Alone and Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, in which a teenage Kevin throws a wild house party when accidentally left home alone. Again.
Ghostbusters: The Video Game - I know that video games are surpassing the movies in terms of favored entertainment, but I’m pretty bummed that the third Ghostbusters movie has become a video game rather than an actual threequel.
Superman III - Some of us may have a soft spot for both Richard Pryor’s appearance and the selfish Superman, but otherwise this threequel suffers dearly from having such lame villains. Especially after the awesomeness of General Zod and friends in part II. The wrong turn, though, is not just lame villains but the complete lack of Lex Luthor, a necessity for Superman movies for those of us who never read the comics and can’t get behind a pseudo Luthor like Robert Vaughn’s “Ross Webster”. Actually, I guess it’s not so much the lack of Luthor as it is the blatant substitution for him, as well as for the diminished use of Lois Lane. The franchise didn’t exactly get back on course by bringing Gene Hackman’s Luthor in Superman IV: The Quest for Peace.
Friday the 13th Part 3 - It’s perfectly debatable whether or not this slasher series took a misstep when it gave Jason a hockey mask and made him an icon. Like a number of other horror franchises, this one became less scary and more amusing beginning with the third installment. Entertaining, sure, but a wrong turn for some horror franchises. It certainly didn’t help matters having that laugh track:

<strong>Body:</strong> Of course, I could be wrong; I couldn't remember the name, and didn't see whether IMDb listed the caterers. But--whatever their name is--I trust that George Lucas's people at Industrial Light & Magic would only choose the best possible caterers to give their own players the edge needed to so-masterfully manifest movies so magnificently!Don't get me wrong; Brendan Fraser, Rachel Weisz, John Hannah, Arnold Vosloo, Kevin J. O'Connor, Oded Fehr and Jonathan Hyde (not to mention Erick Avari, Bernard Fox, Stephen Dunham, Corey Johnson, Tuc Watkins, Omid Djalili, Aharon Ipal??, Patricia Velasquez, Carl Chase, Mohammed Afifi, Abderrahim El Aadili, Jake Arnott, Mason Ball, Isobel Brook, James Traherne Burton, Peter Chequer, Porl Smith, Ian Warner and George Lane Cooper ...  See? IMDb's good for somethin`) are wonderful professionals along-with the crew listed below, but any one of them will tell you that he/she works better when fed well!Aside from that little production note: The movie I'm talking about also reminded me why I don't feature any foreign language speech—because I would 'Okie it up' (i.e. pronounce most of the words with a slightly-unsure tone, and yet pronounce them "definitely foreign").I noticed that when pronouncing names from a historical review I'll put here soon.

But--whatever their name is--I trust that George Lucas's people at Industrial Light &amp; Magic would only choose the best possible caterers to give their own players the edge needed to so-masterfully manifest movies so magnificently!Don't get me wrong; Brendan Fraser, Rachel Weisz, John Hannah, Arnold Vosloo, Kevin J. O'Connor, Oded Fehr and Jonathan Hyde (not to mention Erick Avari, Bernard Fox, Stephen Dunham, Corey Johnson, Tuc Watkins, Omid Djalili, Aharon Ipal??, Patricia Velasquez, Carl Chase, Mohammed Afifi, Abderrahim El Aadili, Jake Arnott, Mason Ball, Isobel Brook, James Traherne Burton, Peter Chequer, Porl Smith, Ian Warner and George Lane Cooper ...  See? IMDb's good for somethin`) are wonderful professionals along-with the crew listed below, but any one of them will tell you that he/she works better when fed well!Aside from that little production note: The movie I'm talking about also reminded me why I don't feature any foreign language speech—because I would 'Okie it up' (i.e. pronounce most of the words with a slightly-unsure tone, and yet pronounce them "definitely foreign").I noticed that when pronouncing names from a historical review I'll put here soon.
