The Mummy

As much as it pains me to say this, I liked it. You’re probably asking, "You mean to tell my that freak Brendan Fraser from Encino Man actually did something good?!?! What are you on?" Well wouldn’t you like to know.

The Mummy looked from the commericals to be a snooze and a half. You know that type of movie you get dragged to because your girlfriend thinks Bredan Fraser is cute or your boyfriend hopes to catch a more personal glimpse of Rachel Weisz (the jiggling heroine). I’d seen Universal’s original The Mummy last Halloween and let’s just say I did not have high hopes for this movie.

Fortunately, I was pleasantly surprised. This movie is SOOOO much better than the original. The Mummy is about two groups of archaeologists who unwittingly unleash a 3000 year old mummy from his grave. This mummy is hell-bent on destroying humanity and bringing his long-lost love back to life like he planned to do so many years prior.

The visuals are stunning...not stunning like Star Wars-- a different type of stunning. The most accurate description for the Mummy is grotesquely astounding. My big recommendation for the Mummy is, guys, drag a date to it. I guarantee you’ll have her practically in your lap for most of the movie, if my desperately clutching my male friend’s hand wasn’t a good indicator. FYI I don’t scare easily. So this movie does have jumpy things in it. So remember go to The Mummy and take a date!
