Apollo moon landing

This month 50 years ago, the first astronauts walked on the moon.

The Mummy

In The Mummy (1999), treasure hunters on an archeological dig in the Sahara Desert in 1925 get more than they bargain for when a 3,000-year-old mummified Egyptian priest wanting revenge is reincarnated.

      

I had the opportunity to be entertained once again by The Mummy when I watched it on Netflix recently.  Ancient Egyptian history interests me, the plot is engaging, the cast does an excellent job in their roles, and the interaction between the characters is enjoyable, if somewhat campy.  That is part of what makes The Mummy likable however.  I especially enjoy Brendan Fraser as Rick, Rachel Weisz as Evelyn and Arnold Vosloo as Imhotep.  

The Mummy is definitely worth seeing more than once, and that isn’t the case with very many movies.
