Today I am reviewing the 1964 movie Murder Ahoy. This is the 4th to feature Margaret Rutherford as Agatha Christie's famed lady detective Miss Jane Marple. and in my honest opinion it's the worst of the four. Margaret is great as Miss Marple, but the scriptwriter and director veered too farm from the original spirit of the character. They made her a chemist as well as a sleuth when she figures out what poison was used to kill the first victim.

I watched Death on the Nile for the first time a couple of nights ago. I was surprised at how many of the actors and Actresses I recognized. Angela Lansbury, Bette Davis, David Niven, and a handful of other well known names. Over all I thought it was fun and well worth any mystery fan's time to watch.

A friend of mine asked if I wanted to watch The Hardy Boys with her on Hulu. At first I was a little hesitant. But I accepted thinking that even if it was a waist of time at least I'd have some fodder for the show. It was not a waist of time. Secret societies, mystical artifacts, a creepy white haired dude. Not to mention brotherly jibes and great one-liners all wrapped in eighties nostalgia. With a PG rating this show is great for the whole family.
