![]() ![]() ![]() With that said, let’s get to Crooked House (2017). The proof is in the watching so you may adore what we hated. We’ve loved movies everyone hated, despised the ‘best movie of the year’ and disagreed about plenty of others. Five stars is a terrific movie and one star means don’t waste your time other than for completeness’s sake. ![]() The second rating will be the usual stars. One poison bottle indicates that while the name of the film matches that of a Christie novel, the plot was made up of whole cloth by the scriptwriter and the Christie estate should disavow all knowledge of the film (while still cashing the check). We’ll use (depending on the murder weapon) little poison bottles, little knives, little guns, little candlesticks, etc.įive poison bottles indicate the film follows the novel virtually line for line. That is to say, what works in a novel won’t work in a movie and vice versa. This has nothing to do with the quality of the movie since movies are a radically different medium from a novel. The adaptations will vary wildly in quality and fidelity to the source material as I’m sure you can imagine. There are a lot of them so we’ve got plenty of filmed murder in our future. Because of our ongoing interest in all things Agatha Christie, we’ve begun watching movies based on her books. ![]()
