My pick for this week is no surprise, The Mummy (1999). It’s the movie that rebooted a classic Universal Monster, adding more action and romance to the original storyline. It also started my love for actor Brendan Fraser, who is currently going through what some have called his “Brenaisssance”, as well as continued my love for all things ancient Egyptian. **Warning, mild spoilers ahead, so if you haven’t…
