The internet was lit-up searching for more photos of this guy. The newcomer, Oded Fehr as Ardeth Bey, set quite a few female hearts aflutter in our party, at least. But Velazquez isn't the only thing to turn heads in the film, Rachel Weisz is appropriately attractive, though not as startling her character is as solid and believable as she is lovely. Some have mistakenly guessed her top was a mesh costume of some sort not true, it is entirely - and only - paint. Especially tantalizing is the strictly painted-on attire of Patricia Velazquez as Anck-Su-Namum what a stunning visual but it completely upstages her performance. I would love to see an entire film built around that. The most visually rich part of the film was the opening scenes set in ancient Egypt. Here, the makers took the original stock horror film and turned it into an Indianajonesesque adventure in the tradition of Raiders of the Lost Ark.
