"Wenn Sie eine in Bandagen gewickelte, herumtorkelnde Mumie vom Typus eines Boris-Karloff-Bösewichts zu sehen erwarten, haben Sie die falsche Kassette in den Videorekorder geschoben! Wenn Sie jedoch tolle Effekte, einen coolen Helden und einige wirklich gute Gags sehen möchten, wird Ihnen die 1999er Version des Klassikers Die Mumie verdammt gut gefallen. Die Kritiken nannten den Film billig, wertlos und blass. Doch diese Bewertung ist un ..."
"If you're expecting bandaged-wrapped corpses and a lurching Boris Karloff-type villain, then you've come to the wrong movie. But if outrageous effects, a hunky hero, and some hearty laughs are what you're looking for, the 1999 version of The Mummy is spectacularly good fun. Yes, the critics called it "hokey," "cheesy," and "pallid." Well, the critics are unjust. Granted, the plot tends to stray, the acting is a bit of a stretch, and the ..."

"The sitcom may be flatlining, but as long as there are fresh and original series like Scrubs, the prognosis isn't entirely negative. Created by Bill Lawrence, Scrubs is an intern's-eye view of hospital life and the torturous, tragic, and triumphant route to becoming a doctor. The eminently likeable Zach Braff heads the cast as "newbie" J.D., whose years of medical school haven't quite prepared him for chaotic Sacred Heart Hospital. Fami ..."

"One of the most critically acclaimed films of 1998 and winner of several awards including the Oscar for Best Adapted Screenplay, Gods and Monsters is a compassionate speculation about the final days of James Whale (1889-1957), the director of Frankenstein and 20 other films of the 1930s and '40s, who was openly gay at a time when homosexuality in Hollywood was discreetly concealed. Adapted and directed by Bill Condon from Christopher Br ..."
"Eines der immer wieder gerne propagierten Kino-Vorurteile lautet: Sequels sind grundsätzlich schlechter als das Original. Eine gewisse Wahrheit liegt natürlich schon in dieser Behauptung -- dafür sind die Produzenten viel zu schnell dabei, wenn es darum geht, einen großen Erfolg so weit wie möglich auszuschlachten --, aber eben nicht die ganze. Star Wars -- Das Imperium schlägt zurück und Indiana Jones und der Tempel des Todes sind nich ..."
