Sometimes even movies we enjoy can fall out of our mental queue over the years and become forgotten. And so it was with 'The Mummy' until I spied it in the grab bag of has-beens and never-weres that is the Walmart BluRay bargain bin.
Like 'Independence Day' and 'The Mask of Zorro', 'The Mummy' is a prime example of the best popcorn entertainment of the late 90s. Featuring just the right blend of action, humor and romance, and refreshingly agenda-free, it's the perfect lazy day escape.
As an additional note, the copy I bought was the "Ultimate Edition" BluRay. The special features are anything but, however the picture and sound quality are absolutely first rate.
