Murder on the Orient Express (2017)
Much better than I expected
I was pleasantly surprised as I'd heard bad reviews but I just loved this new version of a classic. I'm a massive Poirot fan and genuinely did not think I would like this but Kenneth Brannah captivated me with his excellent portrail of Poirot. A little different maybe but bearing in mind I knew the story well I still enjoyed every minute and what a great cast!
Lewis: The Great and the Good (2008)
Excellent episode!
I thought this was a very good episode of one if my favourite series. Lewis is always good and I can watch Hathaway forever..he fascinates me. This episode is one of the most disturbing and complex of the series. I liked the way they bring in the death of Lewis' wife and how upsetting that is for him. He's really having a bad time coping and his boss calling him a " chippy copper doesn't help. I had to laugh in the " mattress" scene though.. Hathaway ( howling) " Call of the wild sir!" It lightened an otherwise dark story.
However I have one thing to point out and that is the fact that if Beatrice's mother is supposed to be Spanish she wouldn't call her daughter cariña as the word for darling in Spanish is cariño, whether it refers to a male or female. Cariña is not a real word. She also puts the stress on the wrong syllable when she calls her Beatriz. Just little things but they could have got it right!
1-800-Missing (2003)
Unbelievable
I really thought this was going to be my cup of tea and it wasn't too bad when Gloria Reuben was in it but as soon as Vivica A. Fox took over it became totally unbelievable and the acting and directing is truly awful. I really like anything with the supernatural in and I love "Medium" with Patricia Arquette and also enjoy the old episodes of "Charmed" but this is just laughable. I think it has to do with the really bad acting of Vivica ( I don't dislike her ) but she delivers her lines so badly. I call it over acting, like every thing she says is exaggerated. am I the only one who thinks this? I cannot understand why this will nor be accepted. I have seen plenty of comments only a couple of lines long and this tells me I have to write 10 lines. this is the first time I've sent any comments in so I'd appreciate a little help with how it works. this programme does not warrant 10 lines!
