...message of this movie is very simple: Fool around with the lovelorn undead--the featured creature was mummified alive some 3,000 years ago for unwisely lusting after the Pharaoh's mistress--and you will unleash a nonstop barrage of special effects. That would be O.K. if The Mummy's computer whizzes had generated something fresh, but it's pretty much shape-shifting and meteorological anomalies as usual. These batter into senselessness the wan efforts, led by Brendan Fraser as the chief tomb robber, to impart a sort of cheeky, Indiana Jonesish air to this hopelessly overwrought and deeply dopey...
...hand becomes possessed by a psychotic killer and try as he might, he can't stop it from killing everything and everyone in his sight. Anton's pesky appendage even offs his good-for-nothing friends (Seth Green and Elden Henson), but don't worry--they quickly return as undead...

The diction itself is formal almost to the point of stiffness; its linguistic archaism suits the nature...
What a world: lions and tigers and girls, oh, my! Buffy undoes the undead; Xena destroys barbarians; Michelle Williams breaks hearts on Dawson's Creek. The girlish offensive doesn't show any signs of flagging. By some estimates, more than 60 teen-oriented movies are in production or active development, many of them with seriously empowered heroines. Ten Things I Hate About You might be considered the cinematic Cliffs Notes to The Taming of the Shrew; and Gellar has signed up for Cruel Inventions, an adaptation of Dangerous Liaisons. The WB network's fall schedule will include Felicity, a series...
