Poirot: Double Sin (1990)
As Usual It is a Good Poirot Episode
I was never able to quite comprehend exactly what the young lady who was the niece of the elderly woman was arrested for.Fraud---I guess but, am not quite sure. I did not appear to me (and certainly not to Hastings-----who always has an eye out for the baby dolls) that she was ever really guilty. I immediately concluded that the aunt was part of a scheme to get some fast bucks as part of a scam. Another thing that was quite enjoyable to me was being able to see them ride along in that trusty bus. One--or one just like--- it appears in numerous Poirot videos. I wonder if they have several they use, or if they just repaint them every so often. Most of the time it appears to me that the use yellow with some shade of green---and blue ----and brown.
Marple: They Do It with Mirrors (2009)
Another awful production
I really can't see how anyone who has ever seen the former series of Miss Marple could enjoy this movie. It is terrible----My wife and I gave up and closed it after watching 20 minutes on PBS. Once again the producers or directors or whoever does it are trying to be too "arty" and are spoiling what is actually a very good Agatha Christie story with a bunch of inane insane garbage. The Joan Hickson version was rather enjoyable. I am so glad that we watched all the movies in that series first. If we had started out by watching this garbage I am quite convinced that we would never have watched any more Miss Marple movies and missed many enjoyable hours of viewing. BEWARE: Do not buy this trash.
Marple: Murder Is Easy (2008)
Awful movie
This is the worst adaptation of a Christie Novel I have ever seen. I wouldn't spend 2 cents to buy it. We watched it on PBS and recorded same on our cable box DVR. Most of the time we will transfer it to a DVD using a DVD recorder.--This parody of one of Chritie's novels is so bad that we erased it immediately. I guess I was completely spoiled by the manner in which the Joan Hickson Miss Marple series was presented. They did not try to be so terribly arty and one could pretty well follow what was going on. They second series done recently were not nearly as good as the first ones were. This latest series (of which I have watched two) are in my opinion bad and awful. I really don't believe I will waste my time trying to watch any more.
