Overview
The young daughter of a journalist disappears into the desert without a trace—eight years later, the broken family is shocked when she is returned to them, as what should be a joyful reunion turns into a living nightmare.
Lee Cronin’s The Mummy isn’t scary or memorable; it’s raunchy exploitation and over-orchestrated expired cheese. It is a horror film that reeks of nothing but ridiculousness. The sad part is there’s a decent enough concept buried somewhere within this vomit-drenched monstrosity and a killer ambiance that is borderline spine-tingling.

I had high hopes for this, but boy was I disappointed... Instead of getting Christopher Lee, Boris Karloff or even Arnold Vosloo - we get a modern day"Carrie" with a few bandages and a rehash of the"Azazel" story - only this time with a sarcophagus and lots of rusty chains. We begin when the young daughter of"Charlie" (Jack Reynor) and"Larissa" (Laia Costa) is abducted by someone at the bottom of their garden who has been grooming her with candy bars at their Cairo home. Despite the best efforts of the police, there proves little that can be done and so the family relocate back to the USA and get on with raising their other two children. Then, out of the blue,"Det. Zaki" (May Calamawy) calls to say she has been found after an aeroplane crashed in the desert. Catatonic, the young girl (Natalie Grace) is brought home but swiftly we realise that all is not well and that when things begin to go bump in the night, some malevolence becomes apparent. What could possibly happen next? Well, sadly, there isn't the slightest hint of jeopardy about any of that as the visual effects designers go into overdrive and the writers head back to the pub. There simply isn't anything here that is remotely scary nor that does any justice to the ancient Egyptian mythology that could have better underpinned this mystery had Lee Cronin actually taken some trouble to build on that richness instead of sticking with the typical family panicky melodrama, albeit entertainingly augmented with some modern-day false teeth. There is the slightest of twists at the denouement that did make me smile - until I realised that might also signal sequel, and then I left to go home and watch a film that actually evokes something of the eerie and the mystical from this ancient culture. At least she wasn't a doll!I had high hopes for this, but boy was I disappointed...

Falling Down 4K Blu-ray Up For Preorder With New Extras And Restored Visuals
Everyone has had a bad day, but Michael Douglas had a rough time in 1993's Falling Down. The urban thriller is getting a new 4K release from Arrow Video. This limited-edition release follows the company's usual playbook: remastering the original movie in UHD, adding new interviews, and including several physical extras. You can preorder it now for $50 ahead of its July 21 release. A standard Blu-ray version will be released the same day, priced at $40. Falling Down Limited Edition special features For the new bonus materials, screenwriter Ebbe Roe Smith and composer James Newton Howard sat down with Arrow Video to talk about the cult-classic movie, and there's also a short featurette that revisits the real-life Los Angeles sites used in Falling Down. Rounding out the selection is an archival commentary track with director Joel Schumacher, Douglas, and several more people, the film's original trailer, and an image gallery. Collectors' booklet with new essays by film critics Alexandra Heller-Nicholas and Simon Ward New 4K restoration approved by cinematographer Andrzej Bartkowiak Man on the Edge; A new interview with screenwriter Ebbe Roe Smith At War with the World: A new interview with composer James Newton Howard Going Home: Revisiting the real-life LA shooting locations of Falling Down Archival audio commentary with cast and crew Deconstructing D-Fens: Legacy interview with Michael Douglas Original trailer Image gallery Falling Down follows unemployed defense engineer William"D-Fens" Foster (Douglas) after he abandons his vehicle one evening in the middle of a Los Angeles traffic jam during a sweltering summer day. Determined to get to the home of his estranged wife so that he can celebrate his daughter's birthday, D-Fens finds his route blocked by a series of obstacles until his frustrations boil over into a trail of violence. Meanwhile, Martin Prendergast (Robert Duvall), a veteran cop up for retirement, finds himself tracking down D-Fens to stop his brutal crime spree. It's considered one of the most polarizing movies of the 1990s, earning mixed reviews; on one hand, critics and audiences praised Douglas and Duval's performances, while others criticized its violence and racial undertones, while others have praised it as a notable work examining the mental effects of economic hardship and poor work-life balance.
