Fall movie preview 2022: Release dates, plus 10 films in the spotlight
Fall movie preview: Filmmakers look to the past this season, as several historical dramas, biopics and documentaries are on the slate.
‘Death on the Nile’ (1937) a romantic puzzler on river
Sleuthing Sunday (Book review): This classic ends up a brain-teaser, but for much of its page count it’s a great portrayal of romance gone bad.
‘Kolchak: The Night Stalker’s’ waters deepen with Volume One
‘Kolchak’ flashback (Comic book review): Moonstone brings the reporter back with adaptations of the first movie and a lost episode, plus two originals.
‘Open Water 3: Cage Dive’ (2017) charts found-footage course
Toothy Tuesday (Movie review): The trilogy capper dumps the trio in the water in an amusing way, and never becomes scary. But it’s cheesy fun.
Fall TV preview 2022: Release dates, plus 7 shows in the spotlight
Fall TV preview: Superheroes are on the wane, mysteries hold steady, and networks hang around. But streamers dominate as RFMC previews the season.
Christie makes plotting seem as easy as ‘A.B.C. (Murders)’ (1936)
Sleuthing Sunday (Book review): For the first time, Poirot encounters a serial killer! And it’s no less compelling than Christie’s traditional puzzles.
Elba, solid lion action help ‘Beast’ roar along
Movie review: This South African animal-attack thriller is driven by a familiar but intense tale of a dad and his two daughters in peril.
‘Jeepers Creepers 2’ (2003) more, yet somehow less, of same
Frightening Friday (Movie review): After the 2001 film about the flying Creeper was a slick B-horror hit, this similar sequel got cranked out.
‘Red Water’ (2003) serves up sweaty shark fun on the bayou
Toothy Tuesday (Movie review): At least the premise is somewhat fresh for this genre: Oil drillers and drug runners take on a river shark.
‘Murder on the Orient Express’ (1934) a stone-cold classic
Sleuthing Sunday (Book review): Poirot is in his element like never before or since in this staple of Christie’s oeuvre.
