The Mummy In Theaters This Week 1 August

Here we go again - that's what been said by Brendan Fraser for the latest installment of the Mummy franchise which opens today. Expectations very high for Universal for this movie to knock down 'The Dark Knight' from the No.1 crown for this weekend box-office. The third entry in the Universal series starring Brendan Fraser ups the ante in terms of special effects and action, but there's an undeniably tired air to the enterprise.

Arriving in theaters on Friday seven years after the last installment, "The Mummy Returns" (assuming you don't count the "Scorpion King" spinoff), its timing is particularly unfortunate coming right on the heels of the recent "Indiana Jones" reboot.

The China setting -- both ancient and 1946 -- might prove beneficial thanks to the publicity generated by the Summer olympics and the presence of Asian superstars Jet Li and Michelle Yeoh certainly won't hurt. My predictions this weekend 1)The Mummy: Tomb of Dragon Emperor USD$55million. Wait and see how it goes....- Ibrahem.S

Swing Vote
Copyright © 2008 Touchstone Picture

SWING VOTE follows the story of Bud Johnson (KEVIN COSTNER), an apathetic, beer-slinging, lovable loser, who is coasting through a life that has passed him by. The one bright spot is his precocious, over-achieving twelve year-old daughter Molly. She takes care of both of them, until one mischievous moment on Election Day, when she accidentally sets off a chain of events which culminates in the election coming down to one vote... her dad's.

SWING VOTE is a comical look at the journey of one father and daughter who discover that everyone has the power to change the world. Kevin Costner and Jim Wilson are producing.
