Musings of a Wandering Writer

Everyone enjoys a good murder mystery (unless you happen to be the victim), and so I was pretty interested to see this when I initially saw the trailers. Having no knowledge of Agatha Christie's works (I know, I'm ashamed), I had no idea that this was a sequel to 2017's Murder on the Orient Express . I still haven't gotten a chance to view that one but seeing this makes me interested in going back to check it out. 1 Where You Can Find It:  I saw this in theaters where it is exclusively available to see until approximately April/May .

I've mentioned this film on more than one occasion, and although I'll always be grateful to Michael Mann for the incredibly fun and period setting series, Miami Vice , I will arguably always look back on this film as his magnum opus. That's saying something too, as I praised Collateral extensively in my review of that film. I'm hoping to slowly, but surely make it through his entire filmography, as there are actually more than a few of his big ones that I still haven't seen. I want to stress that despite my nostalgia for this one, I approached with a critical mind, and yet it still manages to take my breath away every single time I see the credits roll. 1 Where You Can Find It:  I checked this out on Amazon Video where it is available for rent/purchase.

Dear Reader, As always, I hope this finds you well. I've been a tad behind on a couple of reviews lately, but I come bearing excuses and platitudes that I hope will temporarily satiate your ferocious appetite for quality writing. A while back, last year, I said I'd started writing a new book and you'll be pleased to know that today I finished my first draft of a future novel. I don't want to say too much now, but a lot of effort went into this one and I'm pretty darn proud of how it's looking. It's pretty crude at the moment, but it's a serviceable story that I will have to thoroughly put through the editing process before shooting for publication. A few things I can tease right now is that this book is completely separate from my previous two novels: Run & Hide and The Fall and Rise of Mark Ridley . I may joke about those two, but I learned a lot in writing both of those and I'm hoping to apply the lessons learned from them in this one here. A...
