Warrior in
Love is about a professional tomb robber and a Valkyrie on the hunt to
retrieve an ancient artifact before it's used to trigger Ragnarök – but treasure
hunters have
been around for decades!
Here are my Top 5 Tomb Raider movies!
#5:
Tomb Raider with Angelina Jolie as Lara Croft
Oh, come on – you knew this was going to be here!
Yes, I know it's from a video game – and yes, it had a sequel and has been rebooted
since. But
to me, this first movie was a great show of female power and strength, with Lara charging in
where men feared to tread to find the treasure. A great movie!
#4
The Mummy
(NO, not the Tom Cruise one – the Brendan Fraser one!)
Rick O'Connell kicked Royal Butt in this movie, chasing down an ancient mummy along with
finding true love with Evy – a librarian who is much tougher than she looks. Don't you
DARE
email me and argue for the Tom Cruise version – no, no, no!
#3
The Mummy Returns
No, it's not cheating! Not when you see that Evy and Rick have an ADORABLE little boy and
he's just as much of a sneak as his parents! From the beginning that introduces The Rock as
the Scorpion King (and leading to his own mini-movie series), this one has a wonderful
steampunky vibe to it that makes it so much more than just a sequel.
#2
The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor
I know, I know – but it's not really a sequel! It starts off with an older Rick and Evy
retired from
their globetrotting ways (and WHERE is my spinoff series of the two of them acting as spies
during the War???) and their son stepping up to deal with a new threat. But our favorite couple
aren't going to just sit back and let Alex, who obviously wasn't frightened off by the incident in
the previous movie, deal with a new threat! This is one hell of a family – and when you
think
that there was supposed to be ANOTHER sequel that was canceled for the Tom Cruise
movie... grr... I'm so angry!!!
And #1...
The One and Only...
Raiders of the Lost Ark
I won't lie and tell you I haven't seen this maybe thirty, fifty times. Who didn't want to be
Indiana Jones, saving the world? Or Marian Ravenwood, hopelessly in love and determined to
survive? This was the First, Great Tomb Robber movie, in my opinion!
Agree? Disagree? Tell me your choices and argue for why I should revise my list!
Odin's Bastards #3
Special Agent Trace Dyson races around the world, retrieving priceless artifacts from
criminals. But his one dream is to recover a spear, stolen from The Valkyrie's Tomb. It's his
family's White Whale, his father and grandfather's unfulfilled mission––and when
he sees a
beautiful and mysterious woman steal a bracelet from the tombยfs exhibit, heยfs intrigued.
Before he takes her to jail, he has a few questions.
Laila Nyland is a Valkyrie on the edge––worn out from her duties, her final
mission is to come
to Midgard and find a mystical spear lost centuries ago. Forced into a partnership with Trace,
she can't help but be attracted to the hardcore treasure hunter even if he drives her up a wall.
The more she learns about him––the harder it is to lie to him about her mission.
Before their secrets rip them apart, these two will be responsible for saving the
world––that is
if they can trust each other longer than two minutes.
