Our favorite mummy mashers have retired in the wake of World War II, choosing a life of dinners at home instead of their usual excavating adventures. That’s where we find Rick and Evelyn O’Connell at the start of summer release “The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor,” the third in a series of action blockbusters starring Brendan Fraser.
NEW ORLEANS (AP) - Lynyrd Skynyrd may have dozens of albums after three decades of rocking, but guitarist Gary Rossington knows fans love to relive the band's heyday, dancing to "Sweet Home Alabama" or firing up their lighters for "Free Bird."
“Civilization Revolution” is a heavily streamlined version of its PC counterpart. In some areas, in fact, it is polished to the point of wearing away most of the depth of the original.

Mixed Martial Arts, like all sports, has fans who are either faithful regulars or curious newcomers. The more veteran viewers among us can talk shop about obscure amateur fighters as enthusiastically as about the champions we know and love from pay per view.

Fans new to the sport typically have to see a major fight in order to become a faithful follower.
