I intend to post this yestereday but wasn’t able to. Anyway, I spent my rest day from work by watching the 3 chapters of The Mummy. I love movies such as this. It could be a fictional movie but with sense of history. Remember the character of Rachel Weisz in The Mummy Returns, yes she still played the role of Eve Carnahan-O’Conell, but in her past life, she was actually Nefertiri, the pharaoh’s daughter. If we can recall, there was once an Egyptian queen who was said to be the most beautiful queen of Egypt. Her name was Queen Nefertiti. I am not quite sure if Eve’s past life has something to do or was related to Nefertiti.

I watched the movie with my cousin who enjoyed the movie as well. I like this movie because of its location, Egypt. I have watched a couple of intriguing episodes about Egypt in National Geographic Chanel. One of the most remarkable and interesting “mummy” episode I had seen is about the discovery of the tomb of King Tut or Tutankhamun. He was laid to rest in the Valley of Kings some thousands of years ago, and was disturbed by Howard Carter in the early 1920’s.

The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor
Anyway, my cousin and I watched also the latest chapter of it, The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor, which starred Jet Li as the Emperor. I was surprised not to find Rachel Weisz portraying the role of Eve O’Connell. But Maria Bello was able to give justice to Eve’s character (except for the British accent! 
) Out of curiosity, I searched over the net why, Rachel has not been part of the recent chapter of The Mummy. Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to find the exact reason of Rachel. What the net says, Rachel didn’t like the script. Others, said she’s a big star already and her schedules didn’t allow her to accept the movie. Whatever reasons she had, I bet it was for her career’s own good.

I can’t wait for my off again. I am planning to do a “Charmed” marathon.
