The Calling (2014)
Disappointed
I recently read the book before watching the movie. I feel if I had not read the book, I would not have understood the movie. Too much was left out. They left out good characters, took the spunk away from Hazel and her mother. Too many changes to what was a really good book. Love Susan Sarandon, but very disappointed in this movie.
The ABC Murders (2018)
Not Agatha Christie, but truly wonderful!
I've watched many versions of Poirot and no, John Malkovich wasn't like the usual Poirot, but he did a great job! The series was dark, it had violence, sex, and swearing, which is far from Agatha Christie's books or movies, but this movie was wonderful. If Agatha Christie's name was removed from it and they changed the title, maybe more people would have appreciated the movie. I can understand Agatha Christie fans expecting to see the usual Poirot and I can respect that. As for me, I like to see the many ways a popular character can be portrayed. It's much like Sherlock Holmes. There is the books that are wonderful and the original movies, again wonderful, but the new versions are wonderful as well.
