Miss Fisher and the Crypt of Tears (2020)
Fun, but missing most of the cast
It's not that it was bad, but it was disappointing that her usual gang of helpers weren't present. You see Dottie amd Hugh for 1 minute and the rest, who knows. But there was romance, adventure, and good closure to where they left us hanging in the last episode.
The Twilight Zone: The Bewitchin' Pool (1964)
My favorite episode
Growing up in an abusive home with parents who hated each other, this episode became my fantasy. And we had a pool. And I swam around looking for a secret tunnel to Aunt T's cottage. To this day I still want to recreate the cottage as my sanctuary from the cruelty of the world.
Marple: The Body in the Library (2004)
Good, but don't mess with the stories
The acting was very good and McEwan made a charming Miss. Marple. I admire Miss. Marple. She is always an engaging character that exemplifies genius and the importance of paying attention to the details. Miss. Marple solves crimes by tying together clues that no one else pays attention to. It is comical to watch her frustrate the inspectors in charge of the investigations by always outsmarting them, but in the end the inspectors are thoroughly impressed and befriend Miss. Marple. Seeing intelligent women in literature and film inspire me, and hopefully other women.
The scenery was lovely and the plot twist sensational. Overall, a good movie. My only problem is that the ending was changed from the book. Why a lesbian angle? If a lesbian relationship had been included in the book, fine, but it wasn't, so why change it? Don't change the murderer and then call it Agatha Christie. It just isn't right.
