Brendan Fraser is back on board for the third Mummy flick despite the absence of Rachel Weisz, who played Evie in the previous two films. I cannot believe it’s been seven years since the last one. At least you can’t say they rushed into anything.

Still, at first glance, the idea of a mummy tale set in China is a bit of a stretch. Have no idea what I’m referring to? Then, you need to watch the trailer below and see these Chinese mummies for yourself.

See? Crazy, right? There’s so much going on in that trailer. I know you have to get creative sometimes, but this premise is something I’d expect from the creators of WarBirds or some other SciFi Channel production. Michelle Yeoh conjures up some ancient army of Chinese zombies that have just hanging out under the Great Wall of China. Then you got Jet Li’s dragon emperor riding that red-eyed horse everywhere. Not to mention, adventurer/mummy killer Rick O’Connell is now supposed to have a grown up son (all while merely aging only thirteen years since the last movie)!

But who am I kidding? I’m totally gonna see it like the sucker that I am, since I’ve seen the first movie like 5000 times (Don’t ask why.). Obviously, I’m not gonna have my expectations up too high. Like Fraser said during his TCA interview: “Folks, it’s a movie. Relax.” I’m gonna just watch and see what happens.

The Terminator Salvation trailer is finally available online (you can also see it before The Dark Knight).

It looks pretty darn good, considering that they have just begun shooting. It’s just that tagline, “The End Begins”. It has got to go. I get why they used it, but it’s seriously a total oxymoron. It makes the movie sound overly simplistic. But I suppose that’s what taglines and trailers go for: the lowest common denominator.

All that is irrelevant tho. Because if Christian Bale is in it, I’ll be there front and center (as I’m sure many people agree).

Here’s hoping the world doesn’t tire of the Terminator mythology before “The Sarah Connor Chronicles” returns to television this fall and this movie hits theaters.

The Wackness takes us waaaay back to the summer of 1994. Luke Shapiro (Josh Peck) finds himself in a few adventures while trying to figure what the heck to do with his life. He’s trades pot for time with his therapist, played humorously by Ben Kingsley. He tries to garner clues how to get with his crush (Olivia Thirlby from Juno) who just so happens to be his shrink’s stepdaughter.

It made a fine debut this week, despite only playing in Los Angeles and NYC. Find a list of nationwide release dates at FirstShowing.

Lexi Alexander (director of Green Street Hooligans) is finally back on the scene with Punisher: War Zone. Maybe the director will bring an interesting feminine edge to all those violent action scenes.

The Pineapple Express looks like it will be another win for the Judd Apatow comedy gang. I know his last few movies that he produced were a bit flat, but I think this one will be hilarious. Pop Candy said it was the best movie she saw last week, so that’s pretty much washed away all my worries.

Plus, I loved both “Freaks and Geeks” & “Undeclared”, so it’s just really awesome that the show’s veterans (Seth Rogen and James Franco) are on screen together again.
