Or whatever the hell you want to the latest Brendan Fraser movies to hit the big screen. Brendan Fraser seemed like he showed a lot of promise when he was younger with movies like School Ties and The Scout but he also did Encino Man. I’ll go to bat for him on this one, we all do things for the money when we’re younger that we’re not proud of and we wouldn’t ever tell our kids about. However, it seems now that it was just a preview of what his career had in store.
He still does take on a nuanced role that requires actual acting like The Quest American but he also does Mummy 3: How much more money can we squeeze out of this and GI Joe : It’s cool when things go Boom! I will say this though, I love him in those three episodes of Scrubs he did or maybe I just love those eps of Scrubs, either way they are far better than anything Brendan Fraser Movies.
The Mummy franchise has sunk so low, after three sequels and a spin off, that almost everyboedy who ever appeared in one of the movies has declined to return. Only Brendan Fraser and John Hannah have now appeared all three and while John Hannah has found steady work as a character actor I don’t fault him for taking whatever paycheck comes along. Fraser is a leading man though. He doesn’t need the money that bad. Aren’t those Airhead residuals keeping him comfy? I’ll go out on a limb here and say that the majority of Brendan Fraser movies suck.
Even Rachel Weisz did not come back. She was replaced by Maria Bello (who probably needs the work more anyway). Weisz does some prestige flicks such as Enemy at the Gates and The Foutain also does Brendan Fraser Movies (I’m coining a new phrase) such as Constantine and Fred Clause (Seriously?!). I guess if I go through life expecting anything from Hollywood I am just headed for disapointment.
