I feel particularly patriotic this Fourth of July! We just finished the last episode of the HBO miniseries entitled John Adams…. and ¡¡¡WOW!!! (…)

Here is yet another TV & Movies blog on the Cozy Mystery site that has absolutely nothing to do with mysteries. (…)

- Campion… Margery Allingham's & Peter Davison's…
I have to "come clean" on this series>>> My husband and I tried watching it a few years ago and did not like it… at all. We watched only the first episode and then gave up. (…)

- Miss Marple Movies and Television Series…
Ordinarily, you probably don't think of Miss Marple as funny. That will change if you are able to see Margaret Rutherford's portrayal of Miss Marple. (…)

The To Serve Them All My Days miniseries is based on the novel (of the same name) by R. F. Delderfield. I admit to not having read the novel, but I have seen the miniseries… and I love it! (…)

Beware, though, if you expect over-the-top performances from these accomplished actors….Malahide's portrayal of Inspector Allyen is very upper crust British, without a lot of emotion. (…)
