Himself - Host: [Roger on 'Sphinx'] My dog this week is called Sphinx and it's still another one of those dumb mummy movies with characters creeping through tombs and disturbing the bones of the pharaohs. Leslie Ann Down stars in Sphinx as an archeologist who discovers that King Tut's tomb was actually just a blind alley, a distraction from even greater and more unbelievable secrets. She stumbles over corpses, she gets attacked by bats, she gets locked in with mummies and she falls in love with Frank Langella more or less in that order. You know you're in trouble in a mummy movie when the archaeologist's flashlight keeps going out. If she kept extra batteries, Sphinx would have been exposed as just another one of Hollywood's pyramid schemes.
