I don’t know where to start. If we haven’t met at all (or you haven’t been reading my reviews – tsk tsk), you will know now, I am a LOVER of Egyptian EVERYTHING. I mean everything. Gods, Goddesses, Culture, Practices, novels, food. Seriously, everything. WARNING: SPOILERS AHEAD

Now, I watched the previous Mummy installments and was most content with it. This one was definitely different.
I wanted badly to try to connect it in some way to the story Ankhesenamun, but there is no connection. Or I couldn’t make it stick. Well, as much as Ahmanet sounds like a true Princess of Egypt, she is as fiction as they come. Not bad! They definitely made a great back story of her.

However, Seth (pronounced Set) is an actual, and very naughty Egyptian God,  known (in Egyptian mythology) as the god of chaos. The movie is the story of Ahmanet’s mission to create a doorway for Seth to come into the world and wreak some serious havoc with her at his side.
Nick Morton, an Army sergeant, was on a recon mission, for antiquities to sell on the black market. I feel like that may be punishable according to the UCMJ, but I mean who am I?

I don’t know how I feel about Tom Cruise in this film. There is plenty of action in the movie. He is so adaptable to different story lines. I think that action films are a good choice for him. Also, he looks dynamic for being 55 -years-old. What is he drinking and can I have some??

Say what! So much action. From running while being shot at, to being thrown around by a mummified princess, there’s just constant action. My favorite scene is the scene in the church abbey in England. Just the reaction when Jenny (Annabelle Wallis) walks in. Comedy, straight comedy.

Jake Johnson (he plays Chris Vail) brings wittiness to the film as well. It’s been ages since I have seen him a movie. I actually like him as an actor. I liked the friendship between Mortan and Vail. It’s the camaraderie that exists between brothers or sisters in arms. Have each other’s back, even if one of you is crazier than the other.

Published

on

 in Hall H at San Diego Comic-Con, Rick Riordan and Disney+ revealed that Daniel Diemer (“Under the Bridge”) will star as fan-favorite cyclops “Tyson” in the epic adventure series “Percy Jackson and the Olympians.” Diemer joins Walker Scobell (Percy Jackson), Leah Sava Jeffries (Annabeth Chase) and Aryan Simhadri (Grover Underwood) as a series regular. The Disney+ Original series from Disney Branded Television and 20th Television will start filming its second season next week in Vancouver.

Season two of “Percy Jackson and the Olympians” is based on the second installment of Disney Hyperion’s best-selling book series titled “The Sea of Monsters” by award-winning author Rick Riordan. In the new season, Percy Jackson returns to Camp Half-Blood one year later to find his world turned upside down. His friendship with Annabeth is changing, he learns he has a cyclops for a brother, Grover has gone missing, and camp is under siege from the forces of Kronos. Percy’s journey to set things right will take him off the map and into the deadly Sea of Monsters, where a secret fate awaits the son of Poseidon.

Diemer stars as Tyson – a young Cyclops who grew up all alone on the streets, and finds it difficult to survive in the human world.  Shy and awkward, with a heart almost as big as he is, Tyson soon discovers that Poseidon is his father, which means Percy Jackson is his half-brother… and that Tyson may have finally found a home. 

Diemer recently starred in the Hulu limited series “Under the Bridge” based off the critically acclaimed book of the same name and a tragic true story of a missing teen girl in Vancouver in 1997. He will next star in the indie “Thug” opposite Liam Neeson and Ron Perlman for director Hans Petter Moland. Daniel was recently seen as the lead in the indie “Supercell” opposite Alec Baldwin and Skeet Ulrich and the lead in the film “Little Brother” opposite Phil Ettinger and JK Simmons. Daniel can also be seen in the Netflix series “The Midnight Club” and recently starred as the male lead in the breakout hit Netflix feature “The Half Of It” from producer Anthony Bregman and director Alice Wu. He is a graduate of Victoria Academy of Dramatic Arts in Vancouver.

Created by Rick Riordan and Jonathan E. Steinberg, season two of “Percy Jackson and the Olympians” is executive produced by Steinberg and Dan Shotz alongside Rick Riordan, Rebecca Riordan, Craig Silverstein, The Gotham Group’s Ellen Goldsmith-Vein, Bert Salke, The Gotham Group’s Jeremy Bell and D.J.
