Trailer: Murder on the Orient Express

How great is it that we have another Kenneth Branagh movie? Personally speaking, I think this guy doesn’t get enough love. His incredible adaptations of Shakespeare notwithstanding, the actor/director has brought us highly entertaining, beautifully rendered big studio films like Thor and Cinderella (his Jack Ryan film is incredibly underrated). His latest work is an adaptation of Agatha Christie’s highly popular novel, Murder on the Orient Express, adapted many times but perhaps most famously in the Oscar-winning 1974 Sidney Lumet film.

Branagh’s star-studded affair looks slick and beautiful (Branagh’s decision to shoot the film on 65mm certainly helped there), though I’m curious to see what kind of audience this film gets. This will definitely play well with the older crowd and to people like me who are fans of all things Hercule Poirot.

Murder on the Orient Express opens on November 10, nestled comfortably between the openings of Thor: Ragnarok and Justice League.

I never knew how movies could make your imagination soar until I saw "Star Wars," I never realized how inspiring they could be until I saw "Rocky," and I never truly appreciated film until I saw "Goodfellas." Film has been a central part of my life as long as I can remember and it continues to mold who I am. My " movies to watch" list is miles longer than my "movies I have watched" list. My only regret is not having enough time to watch them all.
