The Mummy & Wonder Woman

Finally, I watched the two most popular actors and actresses of the silver screen in our TV in the convenience of our home. I think that's the best we could do instead of watching movies in the cinema, most of all cheaper that way. I think movie ticket at present time is worth $15 and bag of pop corn and pop that's another $15.

At home you can have your pop/soda and choose whatever snacks inside your fridge or have a bag of cheese curls or potato chips.

So, we watched THE MUMMY starring Tom Cruise,  Russell Crowe, and two women I don't recognize in any other movies, the Egyptian princess played by Sofia Boutella, ah, I remember her from the movie The Kingsman.  The story is about revenge, jealousy of the mummy played by actress Boutella  avenging her death and the curse of the mummy is a hell wrath of a phenomenon and the people who unearthed her from the tomb inside the cave suffered from all the curses inflicted in her. Of course there is drama, hell-raising spell-bounding effect of wrath, disaster after disaster, and how to get away from the mummy's curse is the one that mystifies the audience. Running away from trouble is nothing to action heroes, they had done that before. It would be a mistake if they can't get away with it. It's a matter of how fast the adrenaline rush, how the actions and stunts are executed better than previous mummy movies. The application of "werewolf character in the scientist's persona" was one scene that differentiate from the Mummy movie starring Brendan Fraser. The mummy movie  for Tom Cruise's is more serious in tone than the mummy story for Brendan because of its humor and slight comedy.

Now let's go to another mommy. Somewhere in ancient city where only the Amazons live and only women and young girls are allowed to exist. Actually it was Wonder Woman the only, the youngest female child" in that Amazonian city. Looks like it's a feminist city of female warriors and men wherever there are only appeared after there is that "time warped" somewhere in the ocean and the female Wonder Woman portrayed by Gal Gadot saved the leading man Chris Pine who played the character of a soldier/pilot  being chased by opponents. Then the fight scenes between those soldiers of World War I vs. the Amazonians. The stunts were obviously breathtaking because you can see how these women fight and it was superbly amazing and magnanimous. There is that artistic random action right there and you don't see that kind of artistry in men when they fought. They aimed their  bow and arrow in a flash-like motion creatively as if it was a harp. Or we can praise the camera men or women who knows how to angle the actions, where the action is and the actresses or stunt women  while in motion of fighting. There is that great quality of fighting scenes. It 's more like a sequencing of dance with better choreography and by the numbers. Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman is an action star. She can act but sometimes she infused her sense of humor once in a while. She's gorgeous and got a gorgeous body. Her skin has been tanned in this period movie but in real life she is better looking having fair complexion. I mean she's beautiful in her natural white skin. Your bet is right, there will be a sequel to Wonder Woman. Chris Pine's character is  is alive or not in the next movie? Maybe. Remember he had a bath in the Amazonian's magical pond/pool with everlasting pool of water.

With Wonder Woman working in Paris as Diana Prince and her resemblance to Saint Bernadette (in an old photo sent by another Marvel hero) is somewhat a mystery in the making of the next movie? Don't know. Whatever! It's a SECRET!
