Foreign Films
‘Agatha Christie Hour’ (1982) delightfully adapts romantic adventures
Sleuthing Sunday (TV review): In particular, the too-short series demonstrates how well Parker Pyne plays on television.
‘The Raid 2’ (2014) is the most brutally exhausting action movie ever
Throwback Thursday (Movie review): Iko Uwais’ unembellished stunt fighting is on full display in a much grander mission.
‘Witness for the Prosecution’ (2016) is exhibit A in the case for reimagining Christie
Sleuthing Sunday (TV review): The short story’s plot is all there, but the miniseries goes deeper into characters and between-wars Britain.
And then there was an elite adaptation: ‘And Then There Were None’ (2015)
Sleuthing Sunday (TV review): Writer Sarah Phelps thrillingly begins her run of attempting to wring more layers out of great Christie novels.
‘The Raid’ (2011) accomplishes its mission and then some
Throwback Thursday (Movie review): The Indonesian classic reset the style path for the action genre and is timeless in every way.
Disasters and family bonds know no language barrier in ‘The Wave’ (2015)
Throwback Thursday (Movie review): The eventual director of “Tomb Raider” (2018) delivers a localized but high-stakes tsunami story.
Korean film ‘The Great Flood’ (2025) is genuinely great
Movie review: Kim Byung-woo’s Netflix disaster film hits us with action right away but ends up a moving piece about people.
Script oddities keep ‘Hokum’ short of ‘Oddity’
Movie review: But McCarthy’s direction and the Irish setting make for impeccable horror sequences.
Mitchum ably fills Marlowe’s gumshoes in ‘Farewell, My Lovely’ (1975), ‘Big Sleep’ (1978)
Sleuthing Sunday (Movie reviews): The first is a stylish, purist classic. The second makes odd choices and never has a chance of competing with Bogart’s version.
