BRAM STOKER'S THE MUMMY

When Francis Ford Coppola released BRAM STOKER’S DRACULA – there was good reason for putting Bram’s name in the title.  Although there was plenty of artistic license taken in that film, it largely stayed true to the original story.  Soon a whole industry of low budget movies only tangentially related to Bram Stoker's stories emerged, yet somehow they were able to put his name in the title.  Case in point: BRAM STOKER’S THE MUMMY, a humorously bad adaptation of Stoker’s “Jewel of the Seven Stars.”  Now, I can’t speak to the book, because I haven’t read it – but I have read other work by Stoker and they tended to be of high quality.  Which is why I suspect this film had little to do with the source material.

BRAM STOKER’S THE MUMMY begins in an Egyptian tomb in the 1940s – and when I say Egyptian tomb, I mean the basement of the director with some fiberglass attached on the wall.  Something happens involving a red jewel, and a young black kid.  I couldn’t really tell what it was about, but as the plot continued, my lack of understanding didn’t really get in the way. 

Flash forward to present day, in which an elderly Egyptologist suddenly receives a piece of a broken tablet in the mail.  He combines it with another piece and reads the hieroglyphics which, of course, releases some sort of a curse and he collapses and goes into a coma.  His daughter frantically calls in an ex-flame to help her find out why.  Of course, they don’t take him to a hospital, because “he hates hospitals,” according to his daughter.  I hate hospitals too, but people, if I ever collapse and go into a coma, please get me proper medical care.

I won’t go into too much detail in the plot because – well, it’s boring and at one point I got distracted by a piece of lint in my belly-button so I missed much of it.  Needless to say, there is a mummy involved – a sarcophagus in the old man’s basement contains a pretty evil mummy who amazingly is able to do much of his killing from within the tomb.   Before long they need to bring in back-up to deal with this mummy, and the only guy who knows what he’s talking about is Louis Gosset, Jr.  Now you may know Gosset, Jr. as the guy from the IRON EAGLE movies, but believe it or not this man actually won an Oscar back in the day for AN OFFICER AND A GENTLEMAN.  I think he may just miss out on one of those little golden guys for BRAM STOKER’S THE MUMMY.

So, Gosset, Jr. arrives on the scene to spout some mumbo-jumbo.  The red jewel makes an appearance, but the budget is so low they couldn’t even manage a fake to sparkle.  This one looks like more like a frozen piece of jello than an actual emerald.   And best of all, there is a ridiculous supporting turn from Richard Karn (best known as Al from HOME IMPROVEMENT).  Yes, chunky Richard actually scores some hot looking women in this movie, but ignores them in the middle of sex to talk about Egyptology.

There are some unintentional laughs to be sure, but they are far and few between – and there’s not nearly enough gore or nudity to keep you waiting around.   Don’t be fooled by the author’s name in the title, the only pedigree in this movie is dog food.    

RATING: * and a half (out of four)

Ah, you are correct when you say "When Francis Ford Coppola released BRAM STOKER’S DRACULA – there was good reason for putting Bram’s name in the title.", but the reason is that they did not have rights to the title "Dracula", not that they were trying for an especially faithful adaptation.

What with Sommers'"The Mummy", I think this film was re-released with the titled changed, and was originaly "The Legend of the Mummy". But there it is...

What constitutes an Egyptian Dynasty? The definition of the word
dynasty refers to family; however, in Egyptian hystorical documents
the term dynasty seems to refer to something else. What is that
something else?

Low-priced Imitation UGG Boots Are Horrible To your private Health

No, I'm not kidding. Once you http://www.salefineboots.com/>uggs
make a decision on to not invest money genuine UGG boots, you get the possibility of creating substantial, extensive expression harm in your ft and again.

Head within the British School of Osteopathic Medication, Dr Ian Drysdale, talked about, ??Because these boots are warm and fragile, young women presume they are giving their feet a break. As a issue of truth, they are actually breaking their ft.

??Their ft are slipping all more than within. With each and every motion, the pressure falls toward the within with the foot and also the feet splay. This flattens the arch and might make it drop.

The outcome is going to be important trouble together with the foot, the ankle, and eventually, the hip.?¡¥

How you can Notify If Uggs Are Fake ¡§C Some Tips

one. The sheep fur lining on the within of of actual UGG boots is produced of quality A sheepskin and is of the beige shade. The lining of fake Uggs is artificial, somewhat prickly to touch and it is also a additional white shade.

two. You may discover the paint-like smell of producer new fake Uggs, that?¡¥s a outcome of your dyes created use of to shade the synthetic merchandise. Brand-new genuine UGG boots are fairly a very good deal odorless.

three. Authentic UGG boots might not be reduced priced at about $150 a pair. A new http://www.sheepskinbootssaleuk.com/>cheap ugg boots
drastically a lot less will almost surely be fake.

4. UGG Australia prohibit their approved dealers from offering UGG boots on eBay and also other on-line auctions. So, if it may be on eBay, and promises to be brand-new then you?¡¥ll obtain it obtained to obtain pretend.

5. The stitching on real Uggs is constantly fairly noticeably appropriate. The label on the heel is absolutely lifeless centre and degree. Faux Uggs will not normally comply with their example.

six. Ultimately, you can discover that the soles of pretend Uggs are rigid in comparison to actual Uggs. Also the soles of genuine Uggs are about 1/2 inch deep as when compared to 1/4 inch for fakes.

I consider it's going to be considered a sensible pick for you personally to comply with my aid and assistance about how one can tell if Uggs are pretend.

Well the good news is that whatever u use for ur jewelry n clutch must be the same. The black could be too dark n the silver is a bit ordinary but both are socially acceptable. The silver could lift the dress. U could use another color in the purple family too, like another shade to accessorize with just make sure its not too close to ur original colour or too far offI kept mine at this price point by shopping online - JCrew has really great wedding dresses - really. You can go to any place like Nordstrom etc and look at their lines - I kept mine to an off white but it was floor length and had a sheer jacket. Pretty simple and the cost was right. http://www.bmrtians.com/us-cheap-wedding-dresses-65_69/>Cheap Wedding Dresses on sale
