Poirot
Kieran Kinsella
Acorn Media have released numerous Agatha Christie tales on DVD but this month they are upping the ante by releasing a box set that is like manna from Heaven for fans of Britain’s favorite mystery writer. Their six disc, 16 hour long, January 29 release contains some of the best loved stories involving both Marple and Poirot. Two super sleuths squeezed into one novel sized box.
The six Poirot tales include my personal favorite – The ABC Murders, and Christie’s best loved tale – Murder on the Orient Express. I had never seen Four and Twenty Blackbirds or The Mysterious Affair at Styles before but both were very good. The former revolved around the double murder of two elderly brothers while the latter involved the murder of an early 20th century “cougar” who may or may not have been “done in” by her toy boy. Hercule Poirot’s Christmas...

Indie filmmaker Bryan Wolford has generously posted his haunted dorm closet (that's right ... but it works for him) film, Whisper, and we've got it all right here for your viewing pleasure.
Written by Wolford and Mat Kister, Whisper is the story of a college student named Mike (Paul James Iutzi) who ends up using the wrong closet for a bedroom (not that there are a lot of closets that would be right for a bedroom, but beggars can't be choosers). Zachary William Thomas and Sarah Tongren also star. Rounding out the cast are Wes Melton, Steve Christopher and Brittany Lynch.
Filled with a punky musical score by Anger, Whisper never takes itself too seriously, which is what makes the ending of the film that much more effective. It's a decent effort that has a few genuinely chilling moments and a final scene that pops! Brought to us by FreakWolf Productions and Reality's End Films,...

The big news seems to be that Simon Cowell has picked his X-Factor: USA judges (even if he hasn’t signed contracts with them yet). He wants Paula Abdul back at his side, along with Cheryl Cole. I know Cheryl is big in the UK, but most Americans know nothing about her.
While James Loney was held captive for 118 days in Iraq, his family hid the fact he was gay to protect his life. Now he has a book out, and is talking about it for the first time.
From the files of heartwarming stories about politicians, in Michigan, State Senator Bruce Caswell wants to pass a law that clothing vouchers for foster kids can only be used in second-hand stores like the Salvation Army. Because nothing helps a kid fit in at school like a Bush/Quayle sweatshirt.
The Human Rights Campaign is planning a Tuesday protest outside the Atlanta offices of King & Spalding,...
