Movie Reviews of The Mirror Crack'd
Movie Review: four stars for the cast,1 star for the mystery
Summary: 4 Stars
with it's cast of old pros(elizabeth taylor,rock hudson,kim novak,tony curtis,and angela lansbury as miss marple this film is very watchable,but the mystery really is why any of them would want to be in this one with such a weak script.10mins in you'll spot who the killer is and without the mystery going for it the only reason this movie works is because of the talent in front of the camera!
in the 50's a film crew comes to miss marple's village to shot a come back movie for ms.taylor(which was just what this movie was for her after a long time off the screen)only to have murder creep into the cast and crew.ms. taylor and ms. novak are great fun as to actors who would rather catfight than work together,and mr. hudson and mr.curtis are just fine as the men in both their lives. but as alwasy ms. landsbury is the center of it all as one of the best miss marple's of them all.
watch this one for the pros and not the very silly mystery taged to it!!!!!
Movie Review: "A bit of a bore. . . but you don't kill someone for that!"
Summary: 4 Stars
Well, I actually liked this version of Agatha Christie's murder mystery, because it swayed from the pretentious. It was like wanting to see a great "cop" movie and got stuck watching "Police Academy." Honestly, there is no way this movie could be taken seriously, it was a joyfest for the aging movie stars to give it one last rumble.
A young celebrity fan gets caught up as the victim, by the murderer who discovers a hidden secret from them, that destroyed their life. However, the victim is meant to appear as a mistaken murder, with the murderer posing as the actual intended victim. Not a bad plot in reality, but lost in muddled star cameos. I hate to say it, but I entirely looked at this movie as a comedy, and glad I did. It worked better that way, than real mystery drama.
Movie Review: Old Home Week
Summary: 4 Stars
This piece is fun from start to finish. An "inside" view of some wonderful English architecture and an equally inside view of established 60's era stars having a good time "hamming it up" in a classic whodunnit with some style and a twister ending ( but what else would you expect from Agatha )?Although this is not the best of the series--I love it that Elizabeth Taylor and Rock Hudson are together--and it is fun to guess which caracter has had the most cosmetic surgery!
Movie Review: Enjoyable and suspenseful. Great actors!
Summary: 4 Stars
This is not the best of the modern all-star Christie films, but it is very good. Among special not-to-be-forgotten segments are a terrific cat fight between Kim Novak and Elizabeth Taylor, and a wonderful scene where Elizabeth display a wide range of emotions (from shaken fear to raucus laughter). This film looms very late in the careers of both Novak and Rock Hudson. Taylor never has turned in a bad performance. A movie to watch, then watch again.Movie Review: wheres miss marple ? ? ?
Summary: 4 Stars
The film starts with the hipe of Angela Lansbury playing the very clever Miss Marple.After 20 min. into the film Miss Marple disappears for 45 min.Great acting great story just don't try to sell it as a Miss Marple film.
