Movie Reviews of The Moonstone
Movie Review: A Who-Dunnit Detective Film.
Summary: 2 Stars
Attractive lead actors perform an average script of a period murder-mystery.
Technically good in costumes, lighting, and attractive sets. If you like a light Whodunnit; you may like this. As good as anything on TV today. The detective is interesting, and his sleuthing has some interest. The story holds your attention; therefore, maybe 3-stars for some people (I rate 2-stars, if I do not keep it to watch again years later).
5-star Mystery DVD's are: "Road to Avonlea-Season 3", episode: "A Dark and Stormy Night", starring Christopher Reeve; or the modern, clever, murder-mystery series "Columbo", Seasons 1-7 (have not seen the other seasons).
This did not have what I was looking for, some adventure, more believability, more charm, and more cleverness.
The sets are attractively "staged"; rather than sets that take you there. Has pleasant characters; but not deep. Some good humor personality with the servants.
Movie Review: Brit lite
Summary: 4 Stars
The "twist" was common enough at the time, but we tend to forget that our generation didn't discover all of the "vices." A nice period piece. I would have liked to have had some of the relationships better explained. Movie Review: Excellent transaction
Summary: 5 Stars
I have been looking for this book for years and here it is. Brilliant. Thank you so very much for a smooth, easy, straightforward transaction.Movie Review: Wonderful Adaptation of a Wilkie Collins novel!
Summary: 5 Stars
I am a big fan of Wilkie Collins this movie was just wonderful! I became totally engrossed and couldn't stop watching, even though I had already read the book. Wonderful acting and beautiful backgrounds. I highly recommend this movie.Movie Review: A lot of trouble for nothing.
Summary: 2 Stars
The characters in this book and production are its downfall. The young lady owner sees someone take her diamond. She has access to this person; it is someone she knows. Why not just ask this person to give the diamond back? Why not ask "Why did you take it?" Why condemn this person without giving him or her a chance to speak? This stupid girl (Rachel is her name) soured me on the whole book! This is not the way that people would really act in this situation. Collins asks readers to suspend disbelief too much. If Rachel had spoken up, she could have saved others, like Sargent Cuff a lot of trouble.
