‘Spider-Man’ continues to be MCU’s high point with ‘Brand New Day’
‘Love from a Stranger’ (1937, 1947) shows you can never really know someone
Sleuthing Sunday (Movie reviews): Among her many influences on storytelling, Christie popularizes the “woman in peril” plot with “Philomel Cottage” and its adaptations.
‘Resident Evil’ (2002) is like watching someone else play a video game
Frightening Friday (Movie review): It helps that that person is Milla Jovovich, but this is nonetheless generic zombie shlock from a director who should be better.
‘Appointment with Death’ (1988) makes appointment with Israel tourism board
Sleuthing Sunday (Movie review): It looks as lavish as Ustinov’s first two Poirot period pieces, but lacks the dynamism.
‘A.I. Artificial Intelligence’ (2001) movingly explores core SF question of 21st century
Throwback Thursday (Movie review): What is the difference between human and robot? One thing is for sure: That’s going to be harder to answer as time goes by.
Third of Ustinov’s TV Poirots isn’t a charm: ‘Murder in Three Acts’ (1986)
Sleuthing Sunday (Movie review): But Emma Samms sure is charming as Egg in a CBS movie that also features Tony Curtis.
‘Twilight Zone: The Movie’ (1983) is … four episodes of ‘Twilight Zone’
Frightening Friday (Movie review): More money doesn’t make the stories better, and these stories are pretty blunt. But a bit of Spielberg magic comes through.

Throwback Thursday (Movie review): Spielberg’s knack for encapsulating children’s feelings via directorial skill reaches its zenith.
‘Murder on the Orient Express’ (2001): A new-century odyssey
Sleuthing Sunday (Movie review): Alfred Molina is no David Suchet, and the present-day setting is not a benefit, but Christie’s brilliant plot remains in place to hook newcomers.
‘Something Evil’ (1972) is something forgettable from Spielberg
Frightening Friday (Movie review): Though it has good actors, this attempt at “less is more” horror needed something more.
