Customer Review: Still a Decent Laugh
Nuncrackers is not quite as funny as the original Nunsense but still entertaining. I bought this primarily because this fall the theatre group I’m in is doing this show in the fall.

This play/movie starts very slowly and it takes until Father Vergil does his cooking segment at the end of Act One and the dueling Sugar Plum fairy’s to really start the show rolling. Some of my favorite moments come in the second act when the nuns perform “In the Convent” and “We Three Kings of Orient Are Us”.

Overall, entertaining but probably would be enjoyed more in real life.

Supersleuth Hercule Poirot bets his beloved mustache that he can solve a murder more quickly than a truculent French detective in this excellent collection of four movies based on Agatha Christie mysteries. The bet takes place in Murder on the Links; a body found on a golf course points to a crime committed years before–but the real question is, has Poirot’s good friend Captain Hastings (Hugh Fraser) found true love? Similarly, though the twisty plot of Hickory Dickory Dock revolves around diamond smuggling and a death in a student hostel, for many fans it’s the story in which Poirot’s ever-precise secretary Miss Lemon (Pauline Moran, nowhere near as ugly as Christie’s description of the character) makes a rare mistake. In Dumb Witness, a fox terrier gives Poirot the final insight to catch the killer of a wealthy woman, cutting through the seance-crazed antics of a pair of eccentric old sisters. But perhaps the best of the quartet is Hercule Poirot’s Christmas, featuring a sexy Spanish spitfire, a vengeful marked woman, and one of the most unsavory victims in all of Christie’s work. Through it all, fastidious and scrupulously observant, Poirot sifts through the slippery details and comes to his unerring conclusion. As the Belgian detective, David Suchet has taken a character who could easily be a cartoon or a cardboard cutout and made him three-dimensional and sympathetic. One starts to wonder, what is his home life like? Does he grow lonely? Such musings are the mark of a truly vivid performance; Suchet never fails to drive each movie forward, step by irrevocable step. (The extras are meager; filmographies, sketchy biographies, and odd bits of trivia.) –Bret Fetzer

If you are interested in a by-gone era of the gentry in their English country mansions, Art Deco furnishings, dressing for dinner, and the romance of train travel the Poirot series is for you. The recreation in the details is stunning. David Suchet, the most brilliant actor has convinced me he is Hercule Poirot, the most brilliant detective. “BUY NOW”
