Nora, Corrie amusingly team up again in ‘Scorpion’s Tail’
Book review: I love how Preston and Child don’t fast-forward Corrie from prickly teenager to confident FBI agent. She can be immature and impetuous.
Nora, Corrie amusingly team up again in ‘Scorpion’s Tail’
‘13 at Dinner’ (1933) a vintage Christie whodunit
Sleuthing Sunday (Book review): This novel has endless possibilities. It doesn’t mean it’s easy to guess the right one, though.
‘Doomed!’ (2015) probes aborted ‘Fantastic Four’
Superhero Saturday (Movie review): The docu asks: “Were the cast and crew tricked into making a film that would never be released?”
‘Red Dragon’ (2002) lacks ‘Manhunter’s’ style
Hannibal at 40 (Movie review): While it’s less stylish than “Manhunter,” this second adaptation is a better representation of the novel.
‘She’s All That’ (1999) is all that it can be
Throwback Thursday (Movie review): Thanks to the chemistry between Prinze Jr. and Cook, “She’s All That” makes a case for teen classic status.
Allen finds farcical footing in ‘Bananas’ (1971)
Woody Wednesday (Movie review): This early calling card in Allen’s oeuvre is driven by snort-worthy off-the-cuff lines.
‘Dinosaurs in the Attic’ (1986) a virtual museum tour
Preston & Child flashback (Book review): Preston takes us through highlights in the building where he works: the American Museum of Natural History.
‘Murder on the Orient Express’ (1974) adds comedy
Sleuthing Sunday (Movie review): Albert Finney looks the part of Poirot, but I find his performance too bombastic at times.
‘She Makes Comics’ (2014) leaves unanswered questions
Superhero Saturday (Movie review): The docu confusingly posits that women are both central to comics history and relegated to the sidelines.
‘Hannibal’ (2001) can’t recapture magic of ‘Lambs’
Hannibal at 40 (Movie review): Julianne Moore is a great actress, but filling the shoes of Jodie Foster’s Clarice Starling is too much to ask.
