Movie review: Branagh’s rueful ‘A Haunting in Venice’ may prove his best Christie adaptation

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 15:11:59 GMT

Heard this one before? A detective, a mystery writer and a medium walk into a Halloween party — who’ll come out the winner? The rest of the party include a soprano, a doctor, a nun, a chef, a bodyguard and a very serious little boy. This is the setup for Kenneth Branagh’s “A Haunting in Venice,” loosely based on Agatha Christie’s 1969 novel “Hallowe’en Party.” It’s Branagh’s third outing as the prodigiously mustachioed Belgian detective Hercule Poirot, in the trilogy of Christie adaptations he also directs.It’s 1947, 10 years after “Death on the Nile,” and Poirot has sunk into an easy retirement in Venice, Italy, with a bodyguard (Riccardo Scamarcio), a former policeman, to shoo away the locals clamoring for his detecting skills. There’s only one person who can get past his guard, and that’s the fast-talking authoress Ariadne Oliver (Tina Fey, in full gal Friday mode), who talks him into ...

She told me she wanted a spa day, which included Botox injections and maybe lip filler. I was floored when I heard those words come out of her mouth because she never seemed like the kind of kid that would want such a thing. She told me two of her friends who turned 18 just a few days ago got the same thing and she loves the way their lips look. I didn’t believe her till she showed me pictures. Well now I’m mad at their mothers for allowing such a thing. I told my daughter no way and she’s now not talking to me.

The European Commission has approved, under the EU Merger Regulation, the acquisition of Webhelp S.A.S., based in France, by Concentrix Corporation, based in the United States. The transaction mainly concerns IT services in which both companies are active, with emphasis on business process outsourcing (BPO) services, in particular BPO services relating to the management of customer experience (“CXM BPO”). The Commission concluded that the proposed acquisition would not raise competition concerns, given its limited impact on the market and due to the number of competitors active in the markets where the companies are active. The transaction was examined under the normal merger control procedure.

Review: Tina Fey brings new spark to Poirot franchise

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 15:11:59 GMT

By Lindsey Bahr | Associated PressKenneth Branagh indulges in the kind of macabre theatricality that only a crumbling Venetian palazzo on a stormy Halloween night can provide in ” A Haunting in Venice. ”Moviegoers probably long ago made up their mind one way or another about Branagh’s stately and flawed Hercule Poirot franchise, but should there be any curiosity left for this third installment is worth it. It is spooky, fun and features Tina Fey, looking smart and sleek in post-war suits as the fast-talking author of wildly successful whodunnits who says things like “I’m the smartest person I know” in a mid-Atlantic accent.Set in 1947 on a particularly foggy night in the city of canals, “A Haunting in Venice” is beautiful to look at, with costumes by Sammy Sheldon, production design by John Paul Kelly and cinematography by Haris Zambarloukos. And it’s embellished with moody but palatable scares that feel reminiscent of classics l...
