Sarah Betts (103 KP) rated The Mummy, the Will, and the Crypt (Johnny Dixon, #2) in Books
Dec 31, 2019
I'd honestly forgotten how good this one is!
Hi Fergie!
So, it deals with fear on two different levels. The fear of abandonment. Grandma has a brain tumor and his dad's plane is shot down.
And fear of the supernatural. An evil person with a magic box that can turn people into mummies.
Johnny's determination to find the will and the way he goes about it is one of my favorite things. Because he's far from perfect but even with the mistakes he makes, Johnny is a good bean.

I'd like to thank Netgalley and the publisher for providing me with a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
I'd never read this searies before but the third book in I had a pretty good idea of who's who. I'm also pretty interested in reading the whole series so points for that.
The magic bookshop that provides clues in the form of literature is a really interesting idea and a lot of fun!
It was a good mystery and the clues we're really enjoyable.

Omg!
I watched the whole 1st series in two days.
Wasn't expecting much from this but I was hooked after the first 10 minutes.
Joe seems like a normal guy meeting a girl at first but it gets really creepy really quick. Not only is he watching her through the window he also has access to her iCloud so can see every conversation between her family and friends.
Can't wait for a second series to see how it continues now his Ex is back.

Great story
Must watch TV
A truly binge worthy TV programme that will whizz by at just 8 episodes long. I had heard many good reviews for this and highly rated by TV critics as well. It has a very good gripping storyline that will hook you in. As slowly more is revealed over time and in flashbacks why an apparently random act of violence has a lot more to it. Great acting from the leads as well. If you like crime thrillers then check this out!

Wide of the mark
Luc Besson has done some very good action films so I hoped this would be a high adrenaline fueled action ride. Unfortunately it's quite average by the numbers stuff. Lots of double agents and double crosses but it's not as intelligent as it thinks it is. A lot of hopping back and forth in time which wasn't really necessary. It isn't as good as @Red Sparrow (2018) or @Atomic Blonde (2017) which both have a similar theme. Ok for a watch but fairly forgettable.

bone chilling
Contains spoilers, click to show
okay so let me start by saying i love a good scare and this mostly fit the bill as such there was good story telling and developing as well the plot moved right along my only complaint is the fact the villan stole kids souls thats scary and sadly all too relavent to people today and the movie is about 30 minutes longer then needed to be but aside from that it was fantastic

Probably my favourite from season 18 saved the best for last not perfect not the best forth doctor story by any means but a good way for the doctor to go out after 7 years in the part. will always be my number one doctor the one I grew up with back in 70s now I've watched it in hi definition it looks amazing. But the worst part still for me is adric didn't like him then but I suppose now I tolrate his character. Good story

Very similar to taxi driver (1 more)
A rip off of, the King of comedy
A great performance from Joaquin Phoenix is not enough to save this movie from being very average. I thought it was too similar to a lot of Martin Scorsese movies from the 70/80s, like Taxi driver and, The king of Comedy. This was a good film but, I felt like I’d seen it all before. I thought this was a bad attempt at replicating better films such as the King of Comedy.

First things first, Zac Efron is great in the role of Bundy. He plays his role excellently.
I wasn't too sure about watching this movie to be honest, but I actually thought it was a very good movie.
It didn't play up very much to the whole Bundy being 'attractive' etc but did give a very good insight to how 'charming' and persuasive he was.
The ending shows a list of Bundy's known victims and shows footage of the real Bundy. He was clearly a very manipulative and dangerous person.
I highly recommend this movie
