If a Picture Is Worth a Thousand Words, We Say: Come out, come out wherever you are!? Likely to be a hot mix of Indiana Jones meets Big Trouble in Little China, this latest Mummy sequel, serves up a new leading lady for Brendan, along with a new Eastern locale. Wonder if they just stopped to 'take a moment' from chasing someone--or from running away? Those mummy shape shifters, you never know where they'll pop up.
