Monday Night Movie Musings - Double Feature (Zoom)

"The Mirror Crack'd" AND "Blood Simple"

This month's movies are: "The Mirror Crack'd," available through Tubi, and "Blood Simple," available on DVD through Calvert Library. Watch either movie before the event and join us for a lively discussion on Monday night. Please register to receive an emailed link to the Zoom event an hour before it begins.

First up, "The Mirror Crack'd," a 1980 adaptation of Agatha Christie's "Miss Marple" book "The Mirror Crack'd from Side to Side." As with almost all of Christie's film adaptation, "Mirror" features a star studded cast, including Tony Curtis, Elizabeth Taylor, Rock Hudson, and, of course, Angela Lansbury playing the starring detective. Join them in a tale of murder, deception, lies, and mirrors!

Next up 1984's "Blood Simple!" The first feature length film from the legendary Coen Brothers sees them already at home in their "hayseed" aesthetic, empty bars full of the unsavory type, wide expanses of country dotted with sad tales, and M. Emmet Walsh delivering a standout performance that will make your skin crawl! It's also the first film from Frances McDormand, who would eventually marry director Joel Coen. "Blood Simple" is a story of violent characters who all only have half the pieces to the puzzle, and you'll just have to see who's still standing by the end!
