A Haunting in Venice, You Say?

Jul 20

Posted by

I’ve enjoyed the recent Poirot mystery movies as much as the next person. Murder on the Orient Express was really fun. Death on the Nile was fine. And next we’ll be getting A Haunting in Venice, with Kenneth Branagh returning as both director and star.

Poiroit vs. the supernatural? Sounds good to me! I’m sure this will be another perfectly entertaining murder mystery movie. It’s no Knives Out, but what is these days? A Haunting in Venice should be nicely watchable.

It comes to theaters on Sept. 15.

A Couple of Neat Movie Trailers

Apr 27

Posted by

It’s movie trailer Thursday! That can be a thing, right? It’s Thursday, some fun movie trailers came out yesterday, possibly through CinemaCon. And I figured I would share. I like movie trailers. You like movie trailers. The world goes around.

First up is Next Goal Wins, the new film from Taika Waititi. It’s a soccer movie set in America Somoa. I guess it was filmed several years ago, and then had some reshoots, and now it’s finally coming out. Great! I love Taika Waititi movies!

Looks like fun. Some solid Taika comedy alongside an underdog sports movie. Sounds good to me.

Next Goal Wins comes out on Nov. 17.

Next up is A Haunting in Venice, the next part of Kenneth Branagh’s Hercule Poirot series. I liked Murder on the Orient Express. I thought A Death on the Nile was pretty mediocre. But I’m all for more of these. There are surely plenty of Poirot mysteries to adapt, right? And if Branagh wants to do it, I say let him.

Looks fine to me! Are ghosts real in the Poirot stories? Probably not, but I’m sure he’ll be fine on this murder mystery.

A Haunting in Venice comes to theaters on Sept. 15.
