http://www.rifftrax.com/iriffs/tomandjon One history nerd, one engineering nerd, one mission (TBD) en http://www.rifftrax.com/iriffs/tomandjon/mummy <p>The target of this iRiff is 1999's 'The Mummy': 739th in a long line of miserable remakes.&nbsp; This version of the movie far outstrips its predecessors on two counts: it contains more Brendan Fraser, and it contains more of that sugar-substitute for quality, CGI.&nbsp; If either of those two things seems promising to you, may we suggest that skipping this iRiff and viewing Journey to the Center of the Earth might be more to your liking.</p> <div class="og_rss_groups"><ul class="links"><li class="first last og_links"><a href="/iriffs/tomandjon" class="og_links">TomAndJon</a></li> </ul></div><p><a href="http://www.rifftrax.com/iriffs/tomandjon/mummy">read more</a></p> http://www.rifftrax.com/iriffs/tomandjon/mummy#comments iRiffs TomAndJon Mon, 16 Feb 2009 08:38:23 -0600 JonathanDummer 20871 at http://www.rifftrax.com http://www.rifftrax.com/iriffs/core <p>Rarely have the planets of Bad Acting, Bad Science, and Big Budget aligned so perfectly as in the 2003 blockbuster movie, &quot;The Core&quot;. Contrary to what you are hoping, this &quot;The Core&quot; is not an inspirational video about your company's work ethic, nor a PBS special on apples; it's not even a new exercise regimen. No, this &quot;The Core&quot; spits on the work of H. G. Wells, replacing artistic genius with warmed-over technobablistic faux-facts*.</p> <div class="og_rss_groups"><ul class="links"><li class="first last og_links"><a href="/iriffs/tomandjon" class="og_links">TomAndJon</a></li> </ul></div><p><a href="http://www.rifftrax.com/iriffs/core">read more</a></p> http://www.rifftrax.com/iriffs/core#comments iRiffs TomAndJon Wed, 05 Nov 2008 20:48:22 -0600 JonathanDummer 1443 at http://www.rifftrax.com
