Maurizio Sarri gives strange response to Chelsea FC announcing Christian Pulisic transfer - Duration: 1:40.
Chelsea manager Maurizio Sarri did not exactly give the expected reaction to today's announcement by the club that they'd clinched the transfer of Christian Pulisic.
The Borussia Dortmund winger will join the Blues in the summer, but Sarri revealed after today's game that he knew nothing about the deal until it was done, apart from being asked about the player about a month ago.
Apart from that, Sarri had little to say about Pulisic's arrival, despite the USA international being a big-money signing and looking one of the top young players on the planet.
While it's common these days for managers to be less and less involved in transfers, it seems a little odd that the Italian really knew so little about this signing until it was done.
Watch for yourselves – does this seem at all worrying to you, Chelsea fans?

Dawn of the Mummy (1981) - Movie Review - Duration: 5:28.
Good morning to all you great people here on Youtube!
I am Torstein from Cinema Terror and today I am doing a request from a friend of mine
by revisiting a film that I didn't care all that much about the first time I saw it.
So Stian, here you have it, here's my review of the 1981 horror film Dawn of the Mummy.
The story of Dawn of the Mummy takes place in Egypt, where a group of American fashion
people has set their sight to do a fancy photoshoot.
While they are enjoying the different and exotic landscape, some tomb raiders are trying
to find priceless treasure in a nearby tomb.
They do not find any valuables though, but they do uncover the mummified body of the
Pharaoh Safirman.
The two groups cross paths and when the fashion people see that they have an open tomb available,
they make the smart decision of setting up a photoshot inside of it, right next to an
ancient mummy.
The hot lights start to melt and revive the mummy, and before you know it, Safirman rises
again together with his undead zombie followers.
Dawn of the Mummy is quite the oddity of a movie.
It is an American production, filmed in Egypt with a crew of mostly Italians.
By its title, you would assume this would be a mummy film, but it really plays out more
like an eurotrashy zombie film.
It's produced right after the success of George Romero's Dawn of the Dead and Lucio Fulci's
Zombie and you can feel their influence, especially Zombie, on Dawn of the Mummy.
Some of that has to do with the gore effects being done by Maurizo Trani, who also served
up some awesome effects for Lucio Fucli's mentioned Zombie and also The House by the
Cemetery.
The mummy looks awesome and more scary looking than your average mummy.
He is actually interesting, but they fail to take advantage of that and do more stuff
with him, except have him pop up to murder off people.
These effects are the highlight of the film and it is too bad that the DVD copy I have
of the film is so dark and murky.
That also hurts the otherwise unique setting in Egypt, to be honest.
I found most of the camerawork to be bland and uninspired.
The
music provided by Shuki Levy isn't all that bad though and stands out as one of the better
aspects of the film.
Levy sounded familiar to me and it was not because of his acclaimed music work on big
TV shows like the Power Rangers and stuff like that.
Instead, I recognized him because I recently saw and reviewed his directorial debut Perfect
Victims from 1988.
Director and co-screenwriter for this film is the Egyptian born filmmaker Frank Agrama.
His previous film before this was none other than the schlocky Queen Kong from 1976.
I can't honestly say that I am impressed by his work as there are so many errors in the
film and it comes off so poorly put together.
There is no energy or intended atmosphere to be found.
It's hard to take the plot of the film serious as the storytelling is rather poor.
I couldn't get engaged in anything that was going on and never got invested in any of
the characters.
The film feels slow, even if it is only 93 minutes long and I constantly catched my thoughts
wandering away to other things than the movie that I was watching.
The full on Mummy and zombies attack is at the very end and I really wish that they had
started that way earlier.
From what I understand, Dawn of the Mummy is still waiting to get a good transfer over
to DVD or BluRay.
Anchor Bay released it on DVD over ten years ago and even if I won't be stopping what I
am doing to order a new, shiny BluRay of the film, I am sure there are others out there
that appreciate this film enough to want to see it in better quality than what is currently
available.
Dawn of the Mummy is not a good film, but it does have some charm to it that makes it
occassionally fun to watch.
I can see some enjoying this more than I did in a guilty pleasure type of way, but I am
not going to give this film a recommendation.
If you are a super fanatic Eurohorror fan, then sure, there are some chance that you
will enjoy it, but there are so many other, better movies to be found before you need
to get to this one.
Dawn of the Mummy gets a 2 out of 5.
While my friend enjoys this film, I did not, so the question is, have you seen Dawn of
the Mummy and what do you think of it?
If you want to make a request for a movie that I should review then there is an option
to become a Patreon of mine on the link in the description below, or you can just throw
out suggestions in the comment section below for free.
I will leave a link to my watchlist on Letterbox'd in the description box as well, there you
can see the films that I am considering doing, so if any of those stand out for you, then
let me know.
Hope you enjoyed this review of Dawn of the Mummy and please do come back for more horror
movie reviews in the future, here on Cinema Terror.
Thank you.
