We took the birthday girl to a movie as was her wish. A kids movie called “Mummies.” It was the only kids movie we could find. Kind of peculiar, Spanish-made animated movie. Not a single actor I’ve heard of as voice talent, which I actually appreciate because famous people take me out of the picture. The two leads are actually great, expressive, gorgeous. The villain is so hateful though, like an evil cross between Terry-Thomas and John Cleese. You really hate every moment he’s on screen. Not in a good way.
There’s a whole sequence where the two ancient mummies brought to modern times infiltrate a London production of AIDA. Completely bizarre. We were 4 of 7 people in the theater, so this thing is quite under the radar.
Anyway, I saw a movie, which is rare anymore.
