My Thoughts:
Not a "horror" movie at all, but a spoof of them, if you have an hour and a half to kill with some silly comedy with mummies thrown in for laughs, this might be your cup of tea. Although not a big fan of Abbott and Costello, they are pretty good in this film, but Richard Deacon cast in the role of an evil Egyptian cult leader, somehow just doesn't ring true for me. I guess all those appearances on The Dick Van Dyke Show all but make it impossible for me to take him seriously. Marie Windsor was particularly good in her role, but the studio sets used were pretty bad! The scene where they road the horses up to the tomb of the princess was really atrocious. You can't expect much from a low-budget "b" movie I suppose.Rating:

My Thoughts:
For some reason this movie didn't really click for me. One of the reasons is probably because Bond is too much of an asshole in this one. He is really forcing himself onto women here. Even going so far as to blackmail a woman into sex. And he stayed an asshole until the end. There Domino came with another man "who has helped her", and as the boat is about to crash, he pushes the man overboard telling him "I will get you later", and flies away to safety with Domino. The man probably wasn't pretty enough
Highlights: Q was fun as always. And Domino is one hot Bond girl!

30 Rock
1.01 Pilot (2006-10-11)
Writer: Tina Fey (Created By), Tina Fey (Writer)
Director: Adam Bernstein
Cast: Tina Fey (Liz), Tracy Morgan (Tracy), Jane Krakowski (Jenna), Jack McBrayer (Kenneth), Scott Adsit (Pete), Judah Friedlander (Frank), Alec Baldwin (Jack), Rachel Dratch (Greta Johansen), Keith Powell (Toofer), Lonny Ross (Josh), Maulik Pancholy (Jonathan), Katrina Bowden (Cerie), Tom Broecker (Lee), Teddy Coluca (Stage Manager), Gary Cowling (Tourist), Kevin Dorff (Guy Buying Hot Dogs), Anita Durst (Businesswoman), Emana Rochelle (Stripper), Tabbie Conrad (Chicken and Waffles Employee), Ciaran Tyrell (Waiter), Alison White (Tourist)
Looking back, this pilot is rather different than the series. But you can already see the potential of the break-out character of Kenneth. Tina Fey's character is already very much like later on, but this is no wonder, as she mostly plays herself.
