Kenneth Branagh's latest Agatha Christie adaptation, "A Haunting in Venice," will be in theaters in the U.S. on Sept. 15, with a cast including Jamie Dornan, Tina Fey, Michelle Yeoh and of course, Kenneth Branagh as bewhiskered detective Hercule Poirot. In this slideshow, A.V. Club has ranked the best Christie movies and TV shows, going back to 1945's "And Then There Were None." Who's your favorite Poirot?
BTW, if you want some "higher class" streaming without all the trash in the mainstream streamers, I do highly recommend "Criterion Channel", of which I'm a charter subscriber and have never regretted it for an instant. Check it out.
Started watching this series called Foundation, after the Foundation series from Asimov. In case anyone was wondering, it's not a film version of the story, rather a story set in the same universe with some vignettes from the books. I'm guessing Foundation is out of copyright, so they could use the name. It doesn't have the same sense of a grand sweep of history that you get from the books and is really more of a space action series with some bits of Foundation narrative spliced in.
Just finished #Vivarium. Hmm. Not sure what to say except I wanted it to be better than that. A lot of the pieces were there, individually, it just really didn't do it for me.
