In a world where there exists magical people who have the ability to bring to life the objects or people they read from a book, this movie would rather us watch a very sleepy Brendan Fraser (we hate to say it, but its true) and his likewise magical daughter go on an adventure to find their mother who got sucked into a book years ago. Sorta like a book version of Jumanji? Kinda?
The O'Connell's are back and this time.... they're in China!!! China had mummy things right? Well whether they did or not this movie says they do but in addition to mummies, there are also dragons, yeti, elemental bending abilities, and a whole undead army buried beneath the great wall of China. What did the bembridge scholars write about this?
NOT the sequel to Journey to the End of the Night. In this film, Fraser plays the classic academic professor who embarks on a quest to discover a new world with his trusty younger sidekick, Josh Hutcherson (pre-Hunger Games).
A movie that connects the lives of four people who also signify the four fundamental human emotions. We got Forest Whitaker as Happiness, Sarah Michelle Gellar as Sorrow, Kevin Bacon as Love, and the almighty Brendan Fraser.....Pleasure.
Here's a first for the Travolting boys... Michael Keaton!! Very first movie covered with Michael Keaton in a leading role! A bit disappointing though since this film is a very by the numbers movie about salesman trying to learning the ins and outs of how to be great at their jobs. Nothing exciting happens during the last five minutes. Nothing. At. All.
In 2005 a beautiful film showcasing the lives of people who undergo a heartfelt change of how they view themselves and the world around them in an environment filled with a culture of hate and prejudice. We laughed, we cried and we fell in love with these people on screen. That movie of course... is Ang Lee's Brokeback Mountain starring Jake Gyllenhaal and Heath Ledger. Oh? What's that? Sorry folks but there appears to have been a mix up, the movie we are actually covering and ended up winning the 2006 Academy Award for Best Picture is Paul Haggis' film... Crash...
9 years after Space Jam, 18 years before Space Jam 2, was the ultimate Looney Tunes live action film where Brendan Fraser plays the stuntman for.... BRENDAN FRASER!?!?
This early 2000's comedy stars David Spade in the role as a washed out actor who was once a very popular child star who desires to be back in the spotlight, but in order to land this heavily desired role in a Rob Reiner movie, he first must understand what its like to grow up with a normal family. So what does he do? Hires a family to let him crash at their place for a while. What could go wrong!?
