the brits can speak american but the americans can't speak queen's english...

Went to watch The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor last night. Entertaining movie, but I wouldn't say that it was good. I preferred The Mummy 2 better. It's so unrealistic to expect the audience to believe that Rick Solomon has an adult son when he looks like that. Credit to Brendan Fraser for looking good... the man doesn't seem like he has aged a single day!

Although I'm not really a fan of Rachel Weisz, I sorely miss her in this movie. Her replacement, Maria Bello, is very not convincing at playing the role of an English lass. It was quite *painful* listening to hear trying to speak English. She'll lapse into the American twang every now and then...

It's amazing isn't it... how it is easier for actors from the other side of the pond to *convert*. Look at Hugh Laurie, Gary Oldman and many more actors... they seem to make the transition effortlessly.

This weekend I Ayah Ngah and family are coming down to KL to attend a wedding of orang Kg Ayor Mati. Lama tak jumpa dia... Mama kata Abg Ee will be coming as well. I was earlier planning to go up to Ipoh to attend Haz's wedding, tapi since they're coming down, tak jadi lah...
