Virtuous (2015)
A 'Christian' movie for all!
A well-acted drama - perfect for a Saturday night 'movie night'.
There are a number of story-lines to follow...but in the end you can see how they all mesh together to make one cohesive story...and the underlying theme of what it means to be a 'virtuous woman' was emphasised without being pushed down your throat!
I have only two very minor gripes with an otherwise excellent film...
I would have liked to see more of 'The Potters' House'...how did they work with they young women? - particularly the idea of the 'Esther Room-, I am very familiar with the story of Esther, and this intrigued me!
Also, the resolution of the trial was very much rushed - where did the surprise witness come from? It just seemed a very easy answer to the problem.
Putting these issues to one side, this was an excellent example of how to 'do' a Christian movie...a strong story, well acted - which will appeal to ALL audiences, not only faith communities...and yet with a deep message that will make you think....films such as this deserve a more mainstream viewing!
The ABC Murders (2018)
Whatever this is,it is not Christie's Poirot
Where is Hastings???.....He appears in the book!!!....and Japp is dead??? (of a broken heart because Poirot lied to him????REALLY!)
Oh and Poirot cannot speak French!...and please what happened to the most magnificent moustaches?
All I need now would be to find out that they have changed the murderer too!...but I'm not sure that I can be bothered to watch two more episodes to find out!
