The Queen of Swords is a sensuous and beautiful masked avenger who battles greed and corruption in 19th Century California. Her dagger and rapier aimed at the heart of injustice, casting a long and defiant shadow over all those who terrorize the oppressed. She not only gives the vanquished hope, she makes them laugh at those who would destroy them. To do this, she must remain anonymous, hiding behind her public guise as the ‘Queen of Swords’. Adventure is in the cards…

An air force test pilot’s prototype spacecraft falls into a wormhole that takes him across the universe
While I really like this series, it’s a major uncomfortable mindfuck in many places and I don’t know how strongly I could recommend it to others. I would be far more hesitant in recommending it to those not already fans of the science fiction genre at large, whose members are often far more accepting of already-difficult subjects.

Visions of a past life lead a woman to an ancient treasure, but it is also sought by others to both raise the dead and an army.
While it would be unfair to say this movie stinks, it’s not great.
The computer graphics used in it are uncanny and intrusive. It has action for action’s sake, and while a light bubblegum movie is what it is, this movie lays it on intentionally thick, making it aggravating. Fans of its predecessor, The Mummy – (1999 movie), will find the feelings instilled by it are not reproduced in this sequel. It’s also jarringly-unoriginal by stealing components from the first.
This it is an obvious money-grab.

- A person who does this is called a roleplayer.
- Roleplaying is often called “gaming”.

I was first introduced to Shakira through Whenever, Wherever (2001 song), via the video, and really loved it. I hunted through my resources and found that she had been around for quite some time and a lot of her music was in Spanish (Españoles). Many thanks to that anonymous person somewhere in South America who had an excellent collection which I could build on.
Having lost my fear of “foreign” music through my appreciation for Lacuna Coil (Italian) and later for Vintersorg (Swedish), I fell in love with her voice even when not in English.
A strange aside.. for some reason a song or two really rung a bell for me.. as if I had heard them before somewhere. Nada es facil (“Inevitable”, 1998 – Dónde Están Los Ladrones? #05) did that for me. Weird.
I also bumped into a couple of other artists by the name of “Shakira”.. go figure. =)

A metal/rap-ish/”alternative” metal band, who I know from their very early days and still have pre-release songs from Xero and Hybrid Theory.
They were really great, but like their peers they slid downhill. I stopped caring about them many years ago.
