    I don’t get it
    I am a huge Bruce Campbell fan but this movie is weak. NOW, before you throw me to the cavern demon let me tell you this is just not what I expected. Very slow paced and excrutiatingly painful to watch. There were tons of room for Elvis humour but just falls short as if the writer only knew of Elvis from the tabloids? Bruce is awesome as always but this was too weird rather than upbeat like My Name is Bruce. This was more middle class fare as if the masses care about a film like this-more hehe lamo like like sex in the city or something where I can hear the uptights chuckle on the golf course or the housewives snicker at the ‘mild’ humour.

    Why a mummy? (ok Bubba HO TEP I get it) but werewolves/vampires would have been more exciting lore.

    Phantasm is one of my all time favorite films but Coscerelli is hit and miss like John Carpenter (remember ‘Prince of Darkness? Ahck!!!). I forced myself to like it only because Bruce does a great Elvis. I suppose the crude penis jokes (altho funny) are no substitute for true clever humour.

    Bruce Campbell AND a good script AND some production value
    You almost never find all three of those together.

    Bubba Ho-Tep has them.

    This movie is good enough and funny enough that you do NOT have to be a Bruce fan nor a schlock-horror fan to enjoy it.

    Classic Cult Classic! (4.5 stars)
    I won’t go into a long winded review as others have already said much of what I would (Check the 4 & 5 Star reviews). I will tell you that if you are a Bruce Campbell fan at all, this movie is a MUST-HAVE!

    Not to discount any of the other actors in this film, but Bruce Campbell is absolutely brilliant and more than evenly matched with Ossie Davis. The Elvis/JFK pairing here is marvelous, supported by witty dialogue and an almost surreal chemistry between Campbell and Davis. The premise of this movie, a bittersweet retrospective of life by Elvis complicated by an evil mummy, is really off-kilter at first glance but in reality it plays very well and becomes a vehicle for Campbell to shine. The character roles, especially the nurse and the two inept mortuary employees, are delightful and support Campbell and Davis in that unique and unforgettable way that is indicative of good B-movies. Acting is always about timing and reaction - this cast has both in spades.

    My one minor niggle - the FX are second-rate at best. Given the goofy premise/storyline, this movie was predestined to be a B-movie, but come on, it was made in the 21st century! The mummy was poor (not the acting, just the costume/puppetry) and was a disappointing foil for Elvis and JFK. A few more dollars and a little more time would have both been well spent.

    Still and all, an instant cult classic and probably one of the best overall performances of Campbell’s career.

    A cult classic
    An east Texas nursing home is the final resting place for many elderly and infirm patients, including one Sebastian Haff, an Elvis impersonator who suffered a broken hip during a concert and is now partially disabled. The staff are amused by Haff’s claims to be the real Elvis, but, thanks to the power of flashbacks and the internal monologue, we see that his claims are correct. Tiring of fame and superstardom, Elvis found an impersonator who was almost his spitting double and swapped places with him in the early 1970s. It was Haff who went on to die of a drugs overdose in 1977, whilst the real Elvis went on to have a quieter, less-stressful life as an Elvis impersonator.

    The film works on two levels. The first is a meditation on growing old and the melancholy that comes with that, not to mention the frustration that the young often disrespect their elders and their accomplishments simply because they need to go to the toilet a bit more often than they used to. This is emphasised in a sequence where the young daughter of Elvis’ room-mate thoughtlessly throws his possessions out in the trash, including his war medals earned saving the lives of his friends. This area of the film works superbly, with Bruce Campbell an absolute revelation in a role which requires far more subtlety and emotional intensity than his normal, broader horror-comedy roles. There’s also a great dynamic between Campbell’s Elvis and his friend Jack (a likewise strong performance from Osse Davis), who claims to be John F. Kennedy. Instead of dying in Dallas, he claims to have survived, been dyed black by Lyndon B. Johnson and left to rot in the nursing home (unlike Elvis, it isn’t revealed if this is the ‘real’ JFK or not). Elvis’ scepticism is tempered by his acknowledgment of his own unlikely story of survival.

    The second level is much more straightforward: Bubba Ho-Tep, an ancient Egyptian mummy, has been reanimated and has invaded the nursing home to feed on the souls of the living, draining them out through it’s victims’ backsides. Seriously. It is up to Elvis and JFK to eliminate the mummy before it wipes everyone in the rest home out.

    The difference between the quiet, contemplative meditation on old age and dignity, and the slash-horror of the mummy’s killing spree is fairly pronounced, but it works brilliantly, sold by good writing, terrific performances, limited but effective sfx and a superb musical score. The daft premise is treated with utmost seriousness by everyone involved and it works very well.

    Bubba Ho-Tep (*****) is a bit of an oddball movie, at turns reflective, quiet, hilarious, action-packed, horrific and thoughtful. With solid direction (from veteren horror director Don Coscarelli, direct of the Phantasm series) and great acting, it is more than worth an hour and a half of your time.

    Bubba Rules
    I initially was introduced to Bruce Campbell when he starred in Hercules. I then caught him on reruns of The Adventures of Brisco County. I’ve read his books and discovered he is also the king of B horror movies. I’m not a horror movie fan, but thought it was worth giving “Bubba Ho-Tep” a try. What a hoot!

    Bruce is truly a gifted actor and Ozzie Davis always gives a great performance. This movie has it all: a plot that keeps you guessing, horror that provides tension but not over the top graphic violence, talented supporting cast, humor, Elvis…I love it!

    What can I say? Bruce and Bubba have made me a believer. All horror movies are not created equal. Give Bubba a try; you’ll love him, too!

    Samsung SCX-4826 Laser Multi-Function Printer

    Customer Reviews:
    Excellent value, very good network scanning, a few caveats
    Pros:

    -Samsung packs a lot of value into their machines. I paid about $50 less than it is currently going for here.

    -Network scanning actually works well!; unlike many network MFPs.(Buying a standalone network scanner that works this well would cost more than this machine-though it does not have auto duplex scanning like some costlier devices)

    -Direct to USB scanning and direct from USB printing might be useful for some.

    -Duplex printing works well and saves paper- more mid-range printers should come with this feature.

    (note: if you have ever used a printer with duplexing capabilities before you will have no trouble enabling this feature.)

    -Most setting are easily configurable with the web interface so that you need not scroll through multiple menus on the machine itself.

    -Has powerful scan to email features usually only found on high end office machines.

    -Handles standard envelopes better than I expected.

    Cons:

    -Samsung documentation is not for the uninitiated.

    -By default it installs some not very useful programs (a quicklaunch toolbar and a printer status monitor)

    -Does not support Postscript (you need to pay a little extra for the Samsung SCX-4828 Laser Multi-Function Printerfor this feature- that’s the only difference between them).

    -For some strange reason you cannot scan to B&W PDF directly from the machine. You can scan to color or grayscale PDF, or you can scan to B&W PDF from your computer, but not directly from the machine. No idea why.

    -Generally, MFPs do not last as long as regular printers, and are a pain to fix if they break. Think of it this way: If the chance of a printer breaking within 3 years is 1/100, and the chance of a scanner breaking is 1/100, then the chance of a MFP breaking is 1/50.

    Workarounds:

    -If you connect this to your computer via USB (presumably you bought this for its network capabilities so you would normally have it connected via Ethernet) you can flash the device with the firmware from the 4828FN to enable postscript emulation. This will undoubtedly void your warranty. You can then manually install the 4828FN postscript printer driver and configure it to print to the correct port. (The only reason I did this is because samsung previously had incorrectly listed this machine as having PS support before I bought it)

    -If you only need network scanning and printing (not faxing) and do your scanning with programs you already have (such as Acrobat or Omnipage) then I highly recommend installing only the printer and scanner drivers and forgetting about the rest.

    -A generally good idea with network printers is to configure them to use a static IP address (outside the normally assigned range) even if your network is running on DHCP. This will potentially avoid many headaches down the line.

    Bottom Line: A great value if you know what you need and know what you are doing.

    SAMSUNG REPLACES NEW MFC W/ REFURBISHED MFC
    I bought the Scx-4826FN MFC Samsung. The front door of the unit was “sprung” coming out of the box. I had to use the packing tape to hold it shut. Called Samsung for help. There final solution was to send me a “refurbished” printer for my NEW printer that was less than 3 days old. I will not buy another Samsung Product because this “refurbished” exchange process.

    Amazingly great deal
    I’m amazed a printer this great is available at such a modest price. I’ve used it as a printer, for normal printing and duplex. I’ve used it as a fax machine. I’ve used it as a copier and as a scanner. All these functions work great.

    If I had to quibble, the documentation isn’t great, so I can imagine someone having a little trouble finding a feature like duplex printing. As a book publisher I do a lot of duplex and this works great once you find the feature by pressing the “preferences” button in the print dialog box.

    DON”T BUY THIS ITEM!!!!!!!!!!!
    I just bought this printer from Office Max about two hours ago. I needed it for two the two sided printing capabilities. Well, the owners manual doesn’t show you how to make the two sided printing work properly. I called Samsung customer service and asked for some help. The first guy told me he couldn’t help me, so I asked to talk to someone else. Next, I talked to the supervisor who had the same response! They recommended that I just bring it back!! I am astounded, this was supposed to save me time. Instead, I have wasted two hours for nothing… Don’t waste your money on a company that won’t solve your problems and will suggest you bring their products back to the store!
