Well, I admit it - the advertising worked on me. I have seen ads for the straight-to-dvd film, Bubba Ho-Tep and figured what the heck. The tagline is "The King of Rock vs. The King of the Dead." Bruce Campbell plays Elvis and with the help of fellow retirement home occupant, President John F. Kennedy, (played by Ossie Davis)sets out to kill a mummy returned to life wearing cowboy hat and boots and terrorizing East Texas.

The acting was great. These are really some fun characters... with lines like Elvis saying, ""you got bugs... the size of a peanut butter banana sandwich." As a piece on these two characters it would have been entertaining... as a mummy movie it really blew. I fought to stay awake in the middle and the end was rather boring too. Overall, great characters, great acting, great sound, terrible screenplay. Once again, poor writing can kill the best project.

RATING 5 out of 10
