<b>NEW ON BLU-RAY</b> <b>THE CURSE OF KING TUT'S TOMB</b> Thousands of years ago, the great Child King Tutankhamen ruled. Few know the details of his life--no one knows the secrets of his death. All that is about to change. Free-spirited archaeologist Danny Fremont (<b>Casper Van Dien</b>, <i>Sleepy Hollow</i>) is certain that if found, King Tut's Emerald Tablet would hold the power to control the world. Unfortunately, the only one who believes Fremont is his nemesis archaeologist Morgan Sinclair (<b>Jonathan Hyde</b>, <i>Titanic</i>), a member of a secret society who wants the tablet to harness unspeakable evil on the world and will stop at nothing to get it. With the help of a crackerjack team that includes the doubting Egyptologist Dr. Barakat (<b>Leonor Varela</b>, <i>Cleopatra</i>), Fremont ventures into the Valley of the Kings, toward Tut's tomb, nearer the portal to another world, and closer to the truth behind a mystery that will change the world forever--or end it. Directed by action movie veteran <b>Russell Mulcahy</b> (<i>Highlander</i>) and co-starring Golden Globe® nominee <b>Malcolm McDowell</b> (<i>A Clockwork Orange</i>) and <b>Simon Callow</b> (<i>The Phantom of the Opera</i>). DVD Features include Bonus Features with the Cast and Crew. Viewer Reviews Directed by Russell Mulcahy, The Curse of King Tut's Tomb tells the story of Danny Freemont who searches for the tomb of King Tut and the four pieces of an ancient tablet rumored to possess great occult powers. His academic rival, Morgan Sinclair, has stolen three of those four pieces from him on behalf of the Hellfire Council(a secret group of men who pan to use the tablets for world domination). What neither side realizes is that once the pieces have been rejoined, the tablet will open the portal to hell, unleashing the demons of the underworld and eventually releasing King Tut as well bringing ultimate chaos to the world. The movie stars Casper Van Dien, Leonor Varela, Jonathan Hyde, Steven Waddington, and Malcolm McDowell. In my honest opinion of the movie, it is an entertaining fantasy movie that combines elements of The Mummy and Indiana Jones in a(as others have mentioned) 'cheesy B-movie' kind of way. If I had any gripes with the movie, it would be that it was abit slow in some areas of the movie. The fact that it was such a chessy B-movie was what made it so fun for me to watch. Sure, there are historical inaccuracies everywhere in this movie but who cares? Movies are meant to be fun to watch and this one achieves that quite well. I've seen worser movies in my time, some that were downright horrible. It makes me wonder why everyone is ragging on this movie so much. It isn't that bad, folks. Going into it, you can tell that this isn't a direct remake to Boris Karloff's movie. If it were, things would be played more seriously. Despite everyone else's feelings on the movie, I liked it myself. Would I spend full price for this movie just to have it? No but not for the reasons you'd expect. How about if it were in a reasonably priced movie bin? Definitely. If I had any advice or recommendations, I'd say rent before you buy and make up your own mind.
