looking for the title of a movie
« on: August 11, 2009, 01:59:38 am »

It was about a pharaoh who beats some city-state and then brings foward the engineer of the city-state´s defense system to devise the security system for his pyramid. In exchange he would release his people from slavery. Eventually his wife assasinates him, but this backfires when they bury her along with him.

EDIT: nevermind, found it

I remember one episode of Charmed was like that.

PD: and as trivia: I was watching a National Geographic doc about pyramid construction, and they really put in a system to seal it with moving granite slabs like the one in the movie. Better than the one in the movie, even, because they were arranged so that they would seem smooth, continuous walls, without giving clues of them being blocking anything.


(DAMN, there should be a way to do this in DF)

While this topic is around, I too could do with some assistance in finding a film. It's an old black and white film about a jury. A single man in the jury votes not guilty and then through the course of the film manages to convince the others the same, one by one. It was really good but I can't remember the name now. Little help?

12 Angry Men

Although this isn't in black and white. There are multiple movies by the same name so try them.

I've played some mafia.

Most of the time when someone is described as politically correct they are simply correct.
