The Mummy

Returning to theaters 25 years after its release, The Mummy is an odd bit of entertainment. When it was released you could refer to it as a poor man’s Indiana Jones (of course, that was before the two lackluster attempts to revive that franchise in both Crystal Skull and Dial of Destiny). Part B-movie serial, part Evil Dead 2-style horror flick (never read the ancient evil book aloud!), and part wacky over-the-top comedy, it’s hard to argue that The Mummy is a good film, in fact in many ways it’s certainly not, but that doesn’t mean it can’t provide a good time proving that charm can get you an awful long way.
