oh his next did not snap
n ancient Egypt, one priest had the nerve to fall in love with Pharaoh's mistress. As a penalty, he was cursed to become one of the undead and suffer for all time. Unless someone released him from his prison.
Flash forward to the 1920's. A group of treasure hunters and a group of archeologists set out to find the ancient city of Hamunaptra. When they accidentally awaken the ancient evil, they find themselves in a race against time to save their own skin and the world in general. Is there a way to stop someone you can't kill?
This movie starts out rather slow. The first hour is set up getting the characters to the city. Once the Mummy awakens, however, it becomes a fast paced thrill ride you can't stop watching. The actors do a great job of keeping things believable, even if the plot has a few holes in it.
The DVD truly has some great stuff on it. Not only do you get great picture and sound with wide screen and full surround, but you get some fun features, too. The director's audio commentary is fascinating, discussing the struggles that it took to get the movie to the screen. Along those lines, the documentary is fantastic as well. I always love seeing what goes into making movie magic. Also worth checking out is the section on ancient Egypt.
This movie is slightly horror, but mainly action/adventure. It's a Saturday matinee, popcorn flick with great special effects. Pop it in and enjoy.

what you doing honey these guys dont use doors
I was quite prepared to dislike this film as both fighting/fantasy type movies don't always suit my taste. However when i watched this (although it took me a while to get into it) i was surprised by how i actually did. Obviously its based in deserty style scenes and the acting is wonderful, just perfect. There is something going on a lot in this movie, therefore it certainly isn't boring. And although i actually did enjoy this quite, many probably would find the style of the movie just boring!
This is one film that may surprise you too. I recommend you to hire this out

FUJIFILM FinePix S8000fd
All these people saying grainy images etc, They are all newbie's that don't even know what iso is, Cause they shoot in AUTO mode and in AUTO fuji cam's tend to sellect to high an ISO, Switch to PROGRAM mode lower the iso and your sorted.
Very usable images up to iso400 iso800 is not to bad, The fact that you get 27mm wideangle, 486mm telephoto, And a ccd shift IS system that work's great, All this in a tidy little package for this price is nothing short of stunning.
It's main rival is the FZ18, Which suffer's a blue band issue, And feel's absolutely cack and cheap to hold.
The only reason this cam get's some negative reviews on here is because they have no idea how to use a cammera, They shoot on Auto at iso800 iso1600 and say it's grainy, of course it will be grainy you numb nut's.
And people keep comparing it to DSLR's, It's not a DSLR, A DSLR will cleary have better ISO performance etc.
But then your looking at carrying at least two lenses with you and spending a lot more money and carrying a lot more around.
If all you want to shoot is low light indoor basketball games etc, Get a DSLR, If on the other hand you want a smaller cheaper incredibly versatile little gem, Get this cam.
