I recall that in the PBS version of Nile, the Lois Chiles first victim part was played by a then-unknown Emily Blunt, two years before she made a name for herself in The Devil Wears Prada, and that the Bette Davis role was played by Judy Parfitt, who was very memorable in Dolores Claiborne. AND WHA...

I may very well make some people angry by saying this, but I’m not 100% sold on David Suchet being that good an actor. But a lot of people love him, and physically he does resemble the character the most I rather like him in the part, but it is true that otherwise he hasn't been seen in much that a...

I REMEMBER ELLIOT GOULD being terrible in another POIROT EPISODE.
I think DAVID SOUL is also terrible though.
So I guess I crossed the two in my mind

OOPS!!

I'm an IDIOT.
It's DAVID SOUL- he plays the GEORGE KENNEDY role- not ELLIOT GOULD.

I'm getting old, children....

HIBI WROTE: I've seen the PBS Mystery version and it's different than the movie version. I'm not sure which one is closer to the book. The PBS version has 2 other characters: a gay thief and his mom, that weren't in the film version. The ending is a bit different too. The Maggie Smith character lea...

IT'S also interesting to view the film now that I know that EVERY SINGLE SHOT ON THE BOAT that takes place in the nighttime was done ON A SOUNDSTAGE IN ENGLAND! https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/proxy/blq8ixv8I_yDiEMfFsIqeBJSRLOkUDb42H0_4uFw5Rq4fiCdhR8UqAKJUBMgEoGO0mxvUcQBealOQWI3z7zRfTCfOUHbZuRgQS...

Some of the later adaptations add openly gay characters, interracial relationships, etc. I prefer a re-creation of the actual world of Christie's novels. I WOULD'VE SAID THE SAME UP UNTIL I STUMBLED OVER THIS CHARMING FRENCH REIMAGINING OF SOME OF CHRISTIE'S WORKS FRAMED AS A 70S COP DRAMA: https:/...

If you hadn;t guessed, I've switched from EVIL UNDER THE SUN to watching DEATH ON THE NILE on loop. I've seen this film 154 times. SPOILERS i was reading PAULINE KAEL'S review and she makes a point that JOHN GUILLERMAN'S direction is more workmanlike and perfunctory than ARTISTIC or THOUGHT-OUT, an...

ONCE SHE FINISHES THE INTRO, THIS REALLY DOES GET INTERESTING, ESPECIALLY WHEN SHE GOES IN TO HOW CERTAIN COSTUME STYLES IN THE FILM REFLECT HOW SOME OF THE CHARACTERS ARE "STUCK" IN THE TIME PERIOD OF THEIR GLORY DAYS.

Damned if some eps of PERRY MASON are not BAROQUE in their plotting Byzantine, even THAT, yes THAT, that was THE WORD I was looking for. I've gotten too lazy to check THESAURUS.COM They had one the other day about two sisters and one was maybe a guy's dead wife- I don't know if DAVID LYNCH could fi...

it's also crazy how SERIOUSLY they take CHRISTMAS MOVIES, in (checks calendar) MAY.

(like, they don't even have the CHRISTMAS IN JULY "excuse")

I would watch PERRY MASON a lot more consistently if there was a viewing option WITHOUT SO MANY ADS. it's on FREEVEE with ads and PARMOUNT + (unedited, I think) but with ads and some kind of weird religious-legal-family channel/Christmas movie outlet via HULU with SO. MANY. ADS. I mute them or I wan...

YOU KNOW, my feelings about THE MUMMY and ZITA JOHANN'S performance in THE MUMMY are very much the same- I'm torn numerous times every minute between whether it's wonderful, awful, wonderfully awful, camp, meant in sincerity or tongue-in-cheek- one thing for damn sure, IT'S MEMORABLE and sure has s...
