I’ve seen a bunch of articles lately about 1999’s The Mummy and how great it is. I love that movie too, so lately I decided to re-watch it and see if it lived up to the nostalgia. I think of the first and second movies as a set, so I’m going to discuss the details… Read More
Carnival Row: A Feminist TV Review
