Leanne Crabtree (480 KP) rated The Vampire's Redemption (Undead in Brown County, #3) in Books

Sep 6, 2019

I read books 1 and 2 of this series back at the end of 2012 and I'd honestly forgotten a lot of what happened in them, however the first chapter of this did a good job to revise some of what had happened.

I did remember that I was Team Michael out of him and Alex but with the introduction of another lover in this, I wanted to throw my computer. Two men isn't enough in her life? She gets a third? I'm still Team Michael because he's done his best to redeem himself after the terrible crimes he committed before he was sentenced to be held on the property by Sarah's dad.

The ending has left me eager to see what happen next with Sarah and the three men in her life and I'm off to start book 4 in the series.

Movie Rating

George Formby vehicle in need of a tune-up. George, who as ever is playing a good-hearted Lancastrian simpleton ukulele master, joins the navy by accident, stumbles across a nest of Nazi spies, and saves a new submarine from being sunk, while getting the girl and doing a few comic songs along the way.

These days I suspect most people only watch George Formby films for the one-liners and the musical numbers - but the script here is thin, and Formby doesn't play the uke in half the songs (which mostly aren't that good either). All the usual elements turn up - chases, slapstick, unlikely romance, etc - but the movie feels padded even at only 97 minutes long and it's just not consistently funny enough. Still, the second world war saw some terrible disasters, and this is far from the worst of them.

Acting

The Genie of the disappointing live action reboot

Ok first off, I'm not saying the acting was awful but felt rugged, most of the casting choices seemed random, like picked out of a hat random & will smith as genie, although it he was entertaining, I couldn't look past his accent - having a genie with a street wise way of speaking after being Trapped for several lifetimes just couldn't be ignored (In my case that is).

The movie could've been a little more open to including previously used idea's, like talking animals...I mean it is only a movie after all an it would've helped recapture the magic.

Anyway, the overall outcome wasn't terrible just seemed to miss it's intended target, but I have seen worse.
