No resuscitation in 'Tomb'

Relocating the action from New York's Museum of Natural History to the British Museum does nothing to resuscitate "Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb" (PG, Fox), which involves hijinks by a bunch of museum artifacts that have sprung to life. Even Rebel Wilson, playing a saucy cockney counterpart to Ben Stiller's American museum guard, isn't enough to shock the patient back to life. That said, a few moments of genuine verve spike up the generally flatlining plot. The film ends with on-screen tributes to two actors who died after making "Secret of the Tomb": Robin Williams and a frail Mickey Rooney.
