MISC: THE EDGE: **
A woman is led from her path as a good Christian when she discovers her crush's wife is cheating on him. Eh. It was alright. 2 stars.
MISC: THE ACTRESS: *****
An actress finds herself being blackmailed and comes up with a plan to solve the problem. This was incredible. I wish it was longer. Olga is a total genius. 5 stars.
MISC: WHILE THE LIGHT LASTS: *
A woman remembers her first husband.
MISC: THE HOUSE OF DREAMS: *
A man keeps dreaming of a white house on a hill. I didn't like this. It was all supernatural and spooky without any real plot. 1 star.
MISC: THE LONELY GOD: ****
Two lonely people find a lonely god. I liked this one. It was strange and eerie and fairy tale like. 4 stars.
MISC: MANX GOLD: ****
When their uncle dies two young cousins are sent on a treasure hunt with two other relations they haven't met. I enjoyed this one. I love treasure hunts. And I always love when people are being outwitted and getting one over each other. I loved that the uncle decides to be fair by holding the treasure hunt and then
MISC: WITHIN A WALL: **
A painter reflects on his muse. This was okay. I thought it was going to go somewhere interesting but it kind of just faded out. 2 stars.
POIROT: THE MYSTERY OF THE SPANISH CHEST: ****
A woman's potential lover is arrested for the murder of her husband and Poirot is asked to prove him innocent. This is an expanded version of The Baghdad Chest and I have to say I liked it a whole lot more. This version was more streamlined and had better explanations for the murder. The earlier version lacked this cohesion. Plus I love Othello so the Iago references were great. 4 stars.
HARLEY QUIN: THE HARLEQUIN TEA SET: **
Mr Satterthwaite visits an old friend and his family. I didn't really like this one. It didn't really make much sense either.
