Italian Job / Mummy 3

Finally just saw the Italian Job as part of my Edward Norton collection. Really cool seeing him as a typical action movie villain. It actually had one of my favourite casts of any movie I've seen. Not quite Ocean's caliber but very good. Laughed my head off when Seth Green was imitating Statham's character. "Ello, I'm 'andsome Rob. An you are?" I was relieved to find out that Mark Wahlberg didn't always suck, just a one-time thing with The Happening.

The Mummy 3 comes out on DVD on Tuesday, which means I have it at home now. I saw it in theatres, as well. It's actually really good and felt like an important installment in that franchise. A very good closer (although I'm totally up for a new series featuring Alex). There are a few jokes that fall flat and it suffers from the recast from Weisz to Bello. Even though Bello did everything perfect and had the role right, recasting really hurts the continuity of a series. Even if the replacement is better. I'm expecting the same thing from Don Cheadle in Iron Man 2. I like him much better than Terrence Howard, and I think he's a far better actor but it just won't be right. The same with Katie in Dark Knight. I really missed her. Maggie Gyllenhall just, isn't that great. Katie is.

Next on my Norton list is The Score I think. Robert DeNiro as a retired theif teaching Norton the tricks of the trade. Sounds great. Marlon Brando in there too. Can't lose.
