Bedazzzled (2000)

Bone Town
At a glance:
Elizabeth Hurley: Classical English beauty.
Fun adventure involvin one of Brendan Fraser's most endurin dweeb reincarnations, Elliot Richards, who sells his soul to the devil (necessarily played by the English hotness that is Liz Hurley) to get the girl of his dreams. Stupid and funny, without bein embarrassin. Makes me wanna try and find the 1967 original with Dudley Moore to see if he was any more pathetic than Fraser in this. I'm sure it can't be.
Watch out for:
The alleged 19 different 'devil' outfits that Hurley wears in the movie. Also reported is a scene where she apparently shows too much, while about to sit down at her desk. Don't remember it though.
Most memorable line:
Fraser as the overly-sensitive guy: "Mayo-nayo-naise. Swimmin by the sandy shore, dancing up among the waves, dolphin, dolphin I adore everything you are. You're so much more than a fish to me, my playful friend beneath the sea. (making dolphin noise) ee, ee, ee, ee, ee, ee, ee, ee, ee, ee." Pathetic.

Three and a half. Who doesn't like a bit of silly fun every now and then?

Journey To The Center Of The Earth 3D (2008)

At a glance:
This goes down in history for the dubious honour of bein the first 3D movie in Malaysia - brought it by the largest chain, Golden Screen Cinemas. Kiddie fare with minimal intrigue. 2D version ain't worth it, trust me.
Perennial wonderment:
Brendan Fraser, man who spends whole career playin characters who are always runnin away from somethin - 3D dinosaurs, hot English genies & prehistoric mummies, to name a few.
Watch out for:
The blonde mountain guide, new actress Anna Briem.
Reminds me of:
Jumanji (1995) and Jurassic Park (1993), of course. Nowhere near as entertainin, though.

Gets two stars for not tryin too hard to be what it isn't.
