This has no relation to The Mummy – (2017 movie).

Seeking ancient Egyptian treasure, amateur archaeologists unleash a curse that threatens the world.

Quite good. Light-hearted fun, with comedy that’s not intrusive, plot that makes sense, good acting, and special effects that do their job without being uncanny.

Random people go on a merry adventure looking for Luke.

DO NOT WATCH Not just because it takes a steaming dump overtop of the already steaming dumpyness of the prequels, but because it’s badly written and unresolved. Go and watch The Matrix Reloaded – (2003 movie) instead. That piece of shit somehow has less issues.

A standard Robot Chicken, but with various skits parodying the Star Wars franchise.

Have a half hour to waste? Give this a shot, but if you don’t like it within the first few minutes go do something better; Robot Chicken is hit-and-miss.

A ramshackle band of misfits find themselves aligned when they work towards parallel goals to save the land from the resurrection of the god of death.

Adequate. If you like orcs, one elf and one kickass dwarf, and if you can handle overacting, then this is recommended.

  • Properly titled Dragon Lore: Curse of the Shadow
  • Also known as SAGA: The Shadow Cabal
  • Also known as SAGA: Curse of the Shadow
  • Contains no dragons, dragon lore, lore .. and I don’t even remember if there was any sort of curse or shadows.

The dying breath of the queen of witches curses a man with immortality, who becomes a witch hunter but only one who incarcerates witches, which turns out to be a bad idea because they didn’t see Demolition Man – (1993 movie).

An adequate movie, but doesn’t bring anything interesting. The world, the plot and the characters are all boring. Perfectly fine for people who like bubblegum action fantasy.

A space-western-esque MMORPG whose most interesting elements are movement in combat and a light/comedic tone. Oh, and player housing for the girls.

Meh. Just meh. I gave this a good shot, but the gameplay and interface are just shit.

I got to level 10. TEN and gave up. It was quite fun until I did a dungeon. I was told to keep playing until I did one, and .. well.. it failed miserably.

A great MMORPG with spectacular mechanics but no endgame.

I had a lot of fun with it way back when, but my most recent visit had me wandering around in circles for an inexcusable length of time. An utter failure. Still highly recommended.

A young man survives a dragon attack that kills his father, and he vows revenge.

I guess it’s ok. I like these sorts of fantasy films, but this one wasn’t particularly entertaining.

A recently-acquainted group go on a quest to save the world, and stuff.

If you liked the earlier one, you’ll like this one even more.
