Taking off the wraps once more, but this time the action moves to
China for round three of the Mummy adventure. For 2,000 years the
ruthless Chinese Dragon Emperor (Jet Li) and his vast army of
warriors have been frozen in time, cast in clay, waiting for their
moment to rise again. When young archaeologist Alex O'Connell (Luke
Ford) is duped into bringing the ancient warlord back to life, he
soon realises he has to call in the only people he knows with
experience and knowledge of how to battle the undead - his parents,
father Rick (Brendan Fraser) and mother Evelyn (Maria Bello). As
the emperor attempts to re-unite with his massed warriors and
finally fulfil his dream of world domination, Alex and his family,
along with mystical, high-kicking sorceress Zi Juan (Michelle Yeoh)
and a rival cast of undead, have to pull out all the stops to keep
the evil tyrant from achieving his ends.
This first of a three-volume set offers concise biographical
information for over 5,000 generals and admirals of the Third
Reich. It covers all branches of service, ordered alphabetically,
and provides a brief, scholarly overview of each individual,
including personal details and dates for all attachments to unit,
and medals awarded, offering a readily accessible go-to reference
work for all World War II researchers and historians. In addition
to the biographic information, each volume includes extensive
apppendices. The books are packed with information on these senior
officers of the Third Reich, many of whom are little documented in
the English language.

Brian Donlevy, Richard Davalos and Sid Haig star in this 1960s
action drama about figure-eight track racing from writer/director
Jack Hill. Following his arrest, drag racer Rick Bowman (Davalos)
is bailed out of jail by promoter Grant Willard (Donlevy) who
offers him a sponsorship in figure-eight racing. Bowman accepts and
finds himself pitted against the deranged Hawk Sidney (Haig) on the
track. Despite faring poorly in his first races, Bowman becomes
determined to take over from Sidney's top spot no matter what it
costs.
Epitomizing the glamour and decadence of 1980s Reagan-era America, DYNASTY was essentially a prime-time soap opera, and was characterized by campy, melodramatic plotlines, as well as Joan Collins's magnetic performance as the conniving Alexis Colby. She is divorced from Blake Carrington (John Forsythe), a fabulously wealthy oil magnate who marries his secretary, Krystle Jennings (Linda Evans), at the show's inception; the jealous Alexis schemes to do everything she can to destroy their union. The rest of the cast includes Blake and Alexis's children--the promiscuous amnesiac Fallon and the sexually ambivalent Steven--as well as resident geologist Matthew Blaisdel and his psychotic wife, Claudia.
During the third season, Blake's long-lost son Adam comes knocking, Alexis wrests control of a rival oil firm, and a freak explosion causes Steven to have extensive plastic surgery, supplying him with a new face (that of actor Jack Coleman).
