MUMMY RETURNS (2 DISCS) (DVD) Special effects heavy sequel to the hit original sees the return of Brendan Fraser and Rachel Weisz battling that pesky mummy who has - as can no doubt be guessed from the title - returned. Daft flashy fun with good extras. Enjoyably dippy sequel to Stephen Sommers' original blend of gothic horror and Indiana Jones style escapes. Drenched in more CGI effects than the rest of the year's films put together The Mummy Returns is like one giant action sequence with no room to catch breath. Most of the cast of the original film return. Brendan Fraser is still decent as the hero Rachel Weisz is now a little more resourceful as the heroine although John Hannah is still a little irritating as the comic relief. New faces this time round include one (1) Scorpion King one (1) cute little kid and a few thousand (1000+) dog headed zombie thingies plus the usual batch of irate mummies and bugs. The plot sees the Mummy (Arnold Vosloo again) return (surprise!) and Rich and Evie have to stop him saving their captured son on the way. As before the plot serves as an excuse to jump from one special effect to the next but the witty dialogue keep things amusing even if some of the CGI is a little hokey. It's all terminally silly of course (at one point Fraser has to out run the sunrise - quite a feat) but as daft entertainment goes it's by no means a write off rather a guilty pleasure.

The first High Street store was a small news vendor opened in 1792 in Little Grosvenor Street, London, by Henry Walton Smith and his wife Anna.
