Murder by Death (1976)

Date of Review:  Aug 27, 2000
Review: When I was eleven years old, I did not imagine that there could ever be another movie half as good as Murder by Death. I loved it so much that I sneaked my cassette recorder into the theater and taped the dialogue so that I could listen to it over...

Never The Twain Shall Meet

Date of Review:  Jun 5, 2001
The Bottom Line: Neil Simon gives an all star cast plenty of one liners and comic situations in this spoof of 'Old Dark House' murder mysteries and familiar detectives from film and literature.
Review: I had some wonderful new publicity photographs taken yesterday by that vibrant new photographer, Sadie Mae Glutz. Dressed in a billowy black caftan and black turban, I am lounging against a giant telephone handset (a leftover prop from 'Land of the...

GUINNESS WRITEOFF -- Better late than never

Date of Review:  Aug 30, 2000
Review: As Epinions writeoffs go, I have bad karma on an almost Kervorkian level. I mean well, really I do, but nothing ever seems to go right for me ? meaning I can never get my hands on the right movie in the right span of time. So to Knix and the other...

The Guinness Tribute, and I don't mean beer

Date of Review:  Aug 27, 2000
Review: Knix put together a write-off in honor of the never-will-be-forgotten talents of Alec Guinness. Participating in this, through a variety of his films, are the following (and I hope you will get a chance to look at them all): Andrew_Hicks, fdknight,...

Review: In which the internationally famous and notably eccentric epinions author knix (affectionately known as kimster to some of us) has somehow managed to gather nineteen of the world?s best epinionators together in an effort to prove, once and for all,...

The world's greatest detectives

Date of Review:  Aug 13, 2000
Review: This '70s Neil Simon film spoofs the great detective movies and novels of the 30s and 40s. It runs on Encore every few months. I'm not a great Neil Simon fan, but I enjoy this movie for the great casting and frenetic pace.

The cast is a...

"You Call Poisoned Wine and Near Decapitation Comfortable?" "No. I Call It Inspiration."

Date of Review:  Dec 26, 2009
The Bottom Line: Funny, funny film Mystery elements weak Perfect as a spoof
Review: As a mystery fanatic, I knew I had to watch Neil Simon's Murder by Death the first time I heard about it.  I enjoyed it then, and I enjoyed it again when I rewatched it recently.  It expertly spoofs some of the great characters and writers of the...

My Favorite Movie Ever

Date of Review:  May 9, 2000
Review: Most good movies can be watched twice, maybe even three or four times, without the viewer getting bored. A select few stand up to unlimited viewings, and for me, Murder By Death tops that short list. I just never get tired of watching it. But...

Neil Simon broadens his horizons hilariously

Date of Review:  Aug 8, 2002
The Bottom Line: Watch it on a double-DVD bill with its' companion piece The Cheap Detective when you've had a bad day at work or school, they'll change your mood in no time.
Review: This movie deals with a bored millionaire, Lionel Twain, who sets out to prove to the world's five greatest living detectives, Sam Diamond (Peter Falk, in a hilarious parody of Humphrey Bogart), Inspector Milos Perrier (James Coco, parodying...
