Alice: Let Down By 'Orient Express;' 'Last Flag Flying' Mixes Drama And Comedy Well

Herald-Banner movie critic Alice Reese says, as an Agatha Christie fan, she's disappointed in "Murder on the Orient Express," starring and directed by Kenneth Branagh, which she says "drags."  She enjoyed the Richard Linklater film, "Last Flag Flying," about Vietnam war vets Steve Carrell, Bryan Cranston and Laurence Fishburne on a trip to bury the son of Carrell, killed in Iraq.  She says it effectively combines drama and comedy.

John Mark Dempsey is the host of the public interest program The Blacklands Café from KETR News. Dempsey is also the play-by-play announcer for Commerce Tigers Football on 88.9 FM and on ketr.org.
