Yep, I'll put that on now

The Meyerowitz Stories

Spoiler:

It was very good, I liked seeing Ben Stiller and Adam Sandler in more serious roles. I'm glad Danny finally stopped allowing his dad to treat him so shabbily in the end and told him no. It's so sad really how Harold just discarded Danny and Jean when he divorced their mother, so tough for kids to go through that type of rejection and it really effects them all through their lives. It was nice though that all the siblings became close by the end.

As a side note, Ben Stiller really could be Dustin Hoffmans son

…The Meyerowitz Stories…

Spoiler:

…I loved Danny, I loved his relationship with his daughter…they had such a connection……I loved how angry he got behind the wheel of a car……just really well written characters and so well cast…their ‘stories’ just drew you into their family completely and some incredible names in relatively small parts…excellent… ..

[Ammi]

…is anyone up for a 2024 reboot…?…

…I have a few possible movie suggestions and I’ll post some trailers to check out…obviously it would be nice to have more watch suggestions from everyone taking part so the vibe is ‘something for everyone…’….in terms of tastes and genres etc…the big sticky thing will be streaming access and all being able to access the same movie for free…as paid for movies are not an option…anyway, I’ll post some suggestions just because I’ve checked out Netflix to see what’s airing there atm…but we won’t start anything up until we know for sure that everyone can access a chosen movie….

……hopefully we’ll find some movies that everyone can access and hopefully we’ll have a a big movie watch gathering as well…I’m going to put some classic up for suggestion and some that are less familiar but look like an interesting watch…

[ChristmasNeeve]

…the trailer for that remake…

[Ammi]

…there was another one which looked like it could be a good watch…/…El Conde…it’s a vampire/horror movie…but I’m not sure whether it’s subtitled or available in English and not sure what the dubbing would be like…maybe leave that one for now…

[ChristmasNeeve]

I have a suggestion since Cillian Murphy is big atm, I spotted this one of his from years ago, a romcom which is odd for him and it stars Lucy Lui, full movie is on youtube so would suit us all

Great stuff

[Santa's NaughtiNess]

I'm on currently on a Dario Argento marathon. Love his movies.
Suspiria is my favourite one and it's on YouTube.

[Ammi]

..oh I love Lucy Liu as well……that’s odd, it says video unavailable and I was searching for the wrong title as it says something different at the top but I think it’s called Watching the Detectives…?..….I think I have it on my other iPad now so I might start watching later tonight…

[ChristmasNeeve]

Actually is it called both? It comes up when i put them both in weird

[Ammi]

…hmmmm, odd….I can’t find that video at all with that name, which is what I was searching for at first …and with the one that you’ve posted…?…it says video unavailable for me…but let me post the one I’ve found with another title…

[Ammi]

Youtube video

[Ammi]

…is that the same movie, do you think…?…it feels as though it is …odd that it’s a different title though…

[Ammi]

…so I’ll do a little write up because I watched this last night…How I Met a Femme Fatale/Watching the Detectives…

Spoiler:

…with the name change confusion…?…I did wonder if it was hoped for the movie to be a theatre release, which didn’t happen…but that title name was something that was looked at as a possible change to try to ‘boost that to the big screen’ as it were …anyway….

…I liked the concept of the storyline that Cillian’s character, Neil was looking for a romance that had movie adventure as well because he was such a movie fan…he was looking for that real life Femme Fatale, if you like…and then he got exactly that with Violet…and Lucy Liu is so excellent at playing that kind of unconventional spontaneous type character…a lil’ bit of crazy in all the lovely ways…Cillian was also perfectly cast as Neil…

….I think it’s unfortunate that the movie probably isn’t that well known or hasn’t been up until now in a time when Cillian is the next best thing of all next best things…so hopefully the sensation that he’s become will boost this movie as well in terms of watches because it’s really a good romcom and I’m not generally a romcom person….Cillian and Lucy make it adorable, they are adorable together as leads……but it’s a good plot as well and the support cast are all pretty solid also…it’s a definite feel good and just a lovely and worthy watch…a rare gem find and one that I would recommend to others for a rainy afternoon or evening…well found, Niamh…..….

[ChristmasNeeve]

Yeah must be

[ChristmasNeeve]

I'm going to watch it in a sec

[Santa's NaughtiNess]

I'll watch it later when I come back.

[ChristmasNeeve]

Ok I watched it, I want to wait to read yours til after I do mine Ammi

Spoiler:

hhhhmmm It was a bit of a stupid story, Cillian Murphys character Neil was not a "nice guy" at all like what was the point in him getting the waiter to spill water on his first g/f? And because he wasn't going to take advantage of the apparent drunk Violet on their first date that made him better than all the other men? he's a giant man child and Violet basically admits she's not actually that wild and crazy but really insecure and desperate. 5/10 I like both actors but hated these 2 characters. i did like Lucy lui's wardrobe though
