Normally the above phrase would send me running for the hills. I hated
The Mummy so much that I went directly home after seeing it and watched
Raiders Of The Lost Ark to eradicate the experience from my memory. Didn't bother with
Mummy 2 and the less said the better about
Van Helsing which I couldn't bring myself to watch so put off was I by the CGI inflated trailers and clips. (I did try when it ended up on free TV but gave up after around six minutes.)
But, I have say, the Superbowl teaser for the Steve Sommers-directed GI Joe looks bleedin' awesome. Finally, though, it looks like Sommers has found a subject that completely suits his hyper approach. Damn, if I'm not incredibly excited to see the final film having repeatedly watched those 30 odd seconds this morning.

I have to confess that Van Helsing is one of my (very) guilty pleasure films. Mainly for Richard Roxburgh's glorious overacting and David Wenham's ridiculous ears.
Annnnd, I also have to confess, after pre-deciding that I wasn't going to be interested in GI Joe ... that I may just be interested in GI Joe. It must be all the snow going to my head...
Guilty pleasures are good. And I think I can safely predict that GI Joe will be one of them...
Great snow, too.
I dunno, I actually really enjoyed the first MUMMY film. As far as Indiana Jones rip-offs, it was one of the better, IMO. It had just the right mix of humor and action-adventure. The second one (and third) were just crap.
