I found The Fat Detective while browsing Amazon and the concept intrigued me. A man named Eugene Blake quits his job as an accountant to pursue the fantasy life of a private detective. To bad all he has to go on are 1940's books he read in school, a coat he got at a second hand store and no clue what the job is really like.

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. to find links to how to support the show or to find ...

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. Thank you to my Patrons for help to keep the s...
