"DEATH ON THE NILE" (2004) Review

This 2004 adaptation of Agatha Christie’s 1937 novel, "Death on the Nile", was the sekunde to be adapted for the screen. In the case of this movie, it aired as a 90-minute presentation on the long-running televisheni series, "Agatha Christie’s POIROT".

Like the novel and the 1978 movie, "DEATH ON THE NILE" centered around Hercule Poirot’s investigation of the murder of an Anglo-American heiress named Linnet Ridgeway. Linnet had stolen the affections of her best friend’s fiancé and married him. When the newly married couple vacationed in Egypt, the best...

"APPOINTMENT WITH DEATH" (1988) Review

Agatha Christie's 1938 novel, "Appointment With Death" has proven to be a problem over the past 75 years au so. If I must be honest, it is not a great novel. Considering that if featured the topic of emotional abuse, it had the potential to be great. But I feel that Christie never achieved what could have been a memorable and haunting tale.

The novel also produced adaptations in the form of a 1945 stage play, a 2008 televisheni movie and a 1988 theatrical release. Of the three adaptations, the 1988 film, "APPOINTMENT WITH DEATH" came the closest in being...

"MURDER ON THE ORIENT EXPRESS" (1974) Review

Whenever the topic of Agatha Christie novels pop up, many critics and mashabiki seem to rate her 1934 novel, "Murder on the Orient Express" as among her best work. This stellar opinion seemed to have extended to the 1974 movie adaptation. After all, the film did receive six Academy Award nominations and won one. Is "MURDER ON THE ORIENT EXPRESS" the best adaptation of an Agatha Christie novel? Perhaps. Perhaps not. Is it my favorite? Hmmm . . . I will get to that later.

But I cannot deny that the movie, produced kwa John Bradbourne and directed kwa Sidney...

"TOWARDS ZERO" (2007) Review

When it came to the televisheni adaptations of Agatha Christie’s Jane Marple novels, I used to stick with those that featured the late Joan Hickson as the elderly sleuth. However, my curiosity got the best of me and I decided to watch a movie that starred Geraldine McEwan as Miss Jane Marple. And this movie is the 2007 adaptation of Christie’s 1944 novel called "Towards Zero".

The adaptation of Christie’s novel has drawn a good deal of criticism from purists. First of all, the novel is not a Jane Marple mystery. Instead, the main investigator in "Towards Zero"...

"THE HOLLOW" (2004) Review

I have never been a shabiki of Agatha Christie’s 1946 novel, "The Hollow". Many would find my opinion surprising, considering its reputation as one of the author’s best works and a fine example of the "country house murder" story. But I cannot help how I feel. I simply never warmed up to it.

The 1946 novel eventually became a successful London play in 1951. And in 2004, producers of the "Agatha Christie’s POIROT" series adapted the novel into a ninety-minute televisheni movie in 2004, with David Suchet as Hercule Poirot. I have seen "THE HOLLOW" at least twice. Yet,...

"A POCKETFUL OF RYE" (1985) Review

There have been two adaptation of Agatha Christie's 1953 novel, "A Pocket Full of Rye". Well . . . as far as I know. I have already seen the hivi karibuni adaptation that aired on ITV's "AGATHA CHRISTIE'S MARPLE" series in 2009. Recently, I watched an earlier adaptation that aired on the BBC "MISS MARPLE" series in 1985.

Directed kwa Guy Slater, this earlier adaptation starred Joan Hickson as the story's main sleuth, Miss Jane Marple. The story begins in the London office of financier Rex Fortescue, who suddenly dies after drinking his morning tea. At first suspicion...

Hi guys, since I upendo Poirot and Miss Marple, I will be uandishi a review on the series version because I had only seen bits of the 1980 version with Elizabeth Taylor (RIP) in it.

The Characters

The character of marina Gregg was a tragic one, because she had German Measles while pregnant prior to the events of the story. Her American husband tried his best to console her not to think back of the past, until Heather Badcock open up old wounds to her and the latter is dead of poisoning later on!
Although she doesn't have much screen-time due to an injured leg occurred in this episode, Miss Marple...

"THE BODY IN THE LIBRARY" (2004) Review

I might as well say it. Agatha Christie's 1942 novel, "The Body in the Library" has never been a particularly inayopendelewa of mine. Nor have I ever been that fond of the 1984 televisheni adaptation that starred Joan Hickson. So, when ITV aired another adaptation of the novel, I was not that eager to watch it. But I did.

"THE BODY IN THE LIBRARY" proved to be a slightly complicated tale that begins with the discovery of a dead body in the maktaba of Gossington Hall, the nyumbani of Colonel Arthur and Dolly Bantry. The body turns out to be a peroxide blonde in her...

"ADAPTING AGATHA CHRISTIE"

Ever since the release of the BBC hivi karibuni adaptation of Agatha Christie’s 1939 novel, "And Then There Were None" televisheni viewers and critics have been praising the production for being a faithful adaptation. In fact these critics and mashabiki have been in such rapture over the production that some of them have failed to noticed that the three-part miniseries was not completely faithful. As long as the production followed Christie’s original ending, they were satisfied.

Mind you, I thought this new production, "AND THEN THERE WERE NONE" was juu notch. However, I have...

"THE SECRET OF CHIMNEYS" (2010) Review

Anyone who has read Agatha Christie's 1925 novel, "The Secret of Chimneys", will be disappointed kwa the 2010 televisheni adaptation that stars Julia McKenzie as Miss Jane Marple. The televisheni movie bears little resemblance to the novel. But that does not mean one should completely dismiss the movie.

Although a long time shabiki of Christie's novels, I have never read "The Secret of Chimneys". Familiar with many of the author's novels, I knew that the former was not one that featured Jane Marple. I did not care. I have come across other Miss Marple television...

"THREE ACT TRAGEDY" (2010) Review

When I was in my early teens, I had shifted my attention from Nancy Drew mysteries to those novels written kwa Agatha Christie. And I have not stopped since. I confess that this shift in kusoma material was the result of seeing the 1978 movie, "DEATH ON THE NILE", for the first time. Properly hooked on Christie's works, I focused my attention on her 1934 novel, "Murder in Three Acts", also known as "Three Act Tragedy".

I have seen two adaptations of Christie's 1934 novel. The first was televisheni adaptation in the mid 1980s, titled "MURDER IN THREE ACTS", which...

Assunto: Agradecimento para Agatha Christie
De: Raul Soares Vicari

Escrevi essa carta para homenagear seu trabalho por seus livros de mistério, mas só que, de algum jeito você consegue mudar a forma como qualquer pessoa faria uma história, pois todos eles contêm um toque marcante. Pois mesmo todos sabendo que seria a mesma ideia, ‘’ Um caso de detetive, que coisa comum e chata’’, mas você consegue mudar o padrão de uma forma que até parece ser fácil, mas para a maioria dos leitores sabemos que é um trabalho bem difícil em ter que pesquisar,...

"THE A.B.C. MURDERS" (2008) Review

Years ago, I had once compiled a orodha of my inayopendelewa novels written kwa Agatha Christie. One of those novels was her 1936 mystery, "The A.B.C. Murders". The novel led to a movie adaptation, a radio adaptation and two televisheni adaptations. One of the latter was the three-part miniseries that was adapted kwa Sarah Phelps for the BBC.

"THE A.B.C. MURDERS" is a rare tale from Christie. In it, Belgian-born sleuth Hercule Poirot helps Scotland Yard investigate a possible serial killer named "A.B.C.". The killer uses this moniker in the letters sent to Poirot before...

Stars: 5/5

Plot: A group of people is lured into coming to an island under different pretexts. All have been complicit in the death(s) of other human beings but either escaped justice au committed an act that was not subject to legal sanction. The guests and servants are charged with their respective crimes kwa a gramophone recording after chajio, chakula cha jioni the first night and informed that they have been brought to the island to pay for their actions and one kwa one are starting to die in a manner that seems to parallel the ten deaths in the nursery rhyme.
