I'll have to watch that again. I had watched The Abyss too soon after I read the book and was seriously aggravated over the missing parts. It has now been enough time that I can watch it for the beauty of the film without that factor to distract me.

I'm less attached to Poirot, as I read fewer of those. So I'm fine with Branagh's version. And I really liked A Haunting in Venice. I found it genuinely suspenseful.

The Tony and Grammy nominations Sara Bareilles received for the music were well-earned.
