win over many towns folk. Things get shaken up even more when a group
of river drifters, led by Roux, stop into town (to the even greater
distress of the mayor) and Vianne takes up with him. Meanwhile, she's

free thinking landlord, Amande Voisin, get together with her grandson,

On the day his third wife leaves him and his literary agent arrives to
pressure him to finish a novel seven years in the writing, Carnegie
Mellon professor, Grady Tripp, also learns that his married mistress
is pregnant. Seven years before, with his first novel, he was a wonder
boy. So was his agent. Both now need something. Over the weekend,
instead of making choices, he vacillates in a pot-induced haze. One of
his students, James Leer, perhaps stirs paternal feelings in Grady and
raises homo-erotic urges in the agent. Academic politics complicate
things: Grady's mistress is the college chancellor, her husband chairs
Grady's department, James has just shot the husband's dog. What to do?

Mexican" or he will suffer the consequences. The other ultimatum comes
from his girlfriend Samantha, who wants him to end his association
with the mob. Jerry figures that being alive, although in trouble with
his girlfriend is the better alternative so he heads south of the
border. Finding the pistol is easy but getting it home is a whole
other matter. The pistol supposedly carries a curse - a curse Jerry

Ten years after the events of The Mummy, Rick O'Connell (Brendan

Alex. When a chain of events finds the corpse of Imhotep resurrected
in the British Museum, the mummy Imhotep walks the earth once more,
determined to fulfill his quest for immortality. But another force has
also been set loose in the world...one born of the darkest rituals of
ancient Egyptian mysticism, and even more powerful than Imhotep. When
these two forces clash, the fate of the world will hang in the
balance, sending the O'Connells on a desperate race to save the world
from unspeakable evil, and rescue their son before it is too
late. Rated PG-13 for action adventure and violence.
