This film seems to strive too hard for something it never accomplishes. I won't even begin to go in to all the historical inaccuracies it includes concerning ancient Egypt. The movie tries to capture that "Indiana Jones" feeling- being able to quip in the face of extreme danger. While the special effects are very well done, the plot could have used some more attention. I would only recommend this movie when you have nothing better to do.

The Rage: Carrie 2
(1999)
Carrie2: the love story?
10 March 1999
This film, while not all together bad if taken as a cute teenage movie, should have been named Carrie2: the love story. Or better yet, Carrie 2, the hissy fit. The film is, although not scary in the least, tolerably humorous throughout the first half. The bad guys are convincingly evil, making you side with our heroine/telekinetic star. However, when "the rage" hits, it is more laughable than anything else. The effects, while gory enough, are highly unbelievabe. I would suggest this movie not to a horror film lover but to a campy-teenage-comedy with a moral film lover. I would give it 3 stars out of 10 as a horror film, but 5 out of 10 as a comedy.
Fire Birds
(1990)
It was a good try......
3 January 1999
This movie should have been good. But it wasn't. With both Tommy Lee Jones and Nicolas Cage, you would expect great things. But you don't get them. The part of Billie was terribly miscast. The special effects during flights were good but towards the end when the camp is bombed, it looks too much like special effects. I got no sense of realism at all. I would only recommend this incredibly slow moving movie when either you have seen everything else in the rental place or your only other choice is Spice World.
