I saw the Mummy

I saw The Mummy, the most recent version with Tom Cruise. I figured what better time to see the latest Mummy movie than a week or so before Halloween?

I liked it, in parts, but I could have done without Russell Crowe's Dr. Jekyll. It felt like a completely different film when he was in it, and the Mummy had to take a backseat in her own movie, which wasn't cool (she was pretty good, too). all in all, it wasn't great, but it's not a bad waste of time when it shows up on cable TV.

My favorite Mummy movies remain The Mummy from 1999 and its sequel, The Mummy Returns, which can't be beat for its Ancient Egyptian "bikini babe" action. You never knew that women had bikinis back in those days? Neither did I, until I saw The Mummy Returns.
