Killing a mummy may prove difficult to do, but the makers of the third installment of the Mummy movies proves you can kill a franchise. Not to mention, this movie, which sports a father son story line, very much repeats in the same fashion as the tired Indiana Jones movie just out. While there are some redeeming qualities, those of which star the Asian powerhouse team of Jet Li and Michelle Yeoh, the "The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor" is tired, and lack luster. While the sp... more...

I have to admit, I love Will Ferrell. The trouble is, when you love a guy, but his comedy starts to stink, and get stale, what do you do?
