Rating: - A lot of Sand
If you never thought sand could be interesting then you should watch this movie.
Of course it's not about sand, that would be boring. It's about a pharaoh who's decided to build a pyramid, and he wants it to be robber proof.

And if you like this one, try The Egyptian. Edmund ... Read More
