Yeah must be

[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…..….

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

……

[ChristmasNeeve]

lol, little difference of opinion for that one, eh?

[ChristmasNeeve]

As a side note, the accent Cillian did for his character gave me Christian Slater vibes

…so yeah, we’re not just watching the detectives, we are the detectives…we got to the bottom of it, it’s a conspiracy against the people of Ireland….you keep an eye on that one and keep it under surveillance……

[Ammi]

…I watched this on Amazon Prime yesterday evening…I don’t know if it’s available to stream anywhere else and how accessible it is…but I would totally recommend it as a movie club watch…

I've seen it. Love it.

[Ammi]

…it’s a great movie, Vanessa…I can’t believe that I missed it on release…or maybe I just have a block about having seen it, hmmmmm…

[Ammi]

…I watched another Cillian Murphy movie called The Party…it’s a black and white movie and a one/single location type plot …(…which is set at the party, strangely enough…)…so it has that feel of a theatre play as well…?…and I like that a lot, when it all becomes about the acting and the actors because it’s ’non eventful’ and yet…lives are being emotionally played out so it’s very eventful…anyway, obviously with that vibe and genre, the cast choice is key to it all and it’s an excellent cast…….

…it’s on Amazon Prime if anyone wants to give it a look…

Sorry been slacking on the movies, I've been watching a TV series on my lunch breaks. Actually think you'd really like it Ammi if you haven't already watched it, it's called Unforgotten

…ahhh, I think that I have seen that one on there and it is in my sights to watch…I might look it up a bit later and start watching some of the cases…I see that Dexter is on Netflix and I did think about binging that but I’m sure that I’ve read…(…maybe on here…)…that the ending is pretty bad, so I’m not sure about investing in it for a bad ending……there’s a series starting this week that I’ve had my eye on, called Sugar…?…it’s Colin Farrell and it’s private investigator thing so I think that sounds like a possible good watch as well…and I’ve watched one episode of Ripley, which also seems as though it might be ok …but I haven’t had time to watch more…

…yeah, there’s no rush with the movies…I think if we see something or, we can just watch…I don’t know what the quick way would be to check which free movies YouTube have and we could pick one from there when we feel like a watch…the only things that I could see on there were Chuck Norris movies….but I’m up for those as well……

Dexter is still an excellent series, I'd still recommend even though the last season and ending wasn't great, imo they made up for that with the new 1 off season they did just recently. I can't go into much detail about what they did in that newer last season but it made me more satisfied with the ending as a whole. Season 2 of Dexter is probably my favourite of any TV show ever

…honestly I think that I might do a binge on that tbh…I love it when I can watch from start to finish and I watched a bit of the trailer the other day and even with a few moments, I felt drawn to it/connected already…it’s so rare that I find that with a series…I still have to watch The Mentalist as well at some point…

Oh I think you'll love it and you'll be able to watch the more recent last season as well after the not so great one

…I love it when I watch a series and then just want to watch one more episode and just one more and then it’s 3am……I recall it being similar for The Walking Dead when I first binged…before I fully invest, I’ll have a peak at The Unforgotten, though….its not something that I think my OH will watch so I’ll fit it in, in my lone time and then we’ll probably watch Dexter together…

…that’s probably the only thing that he’ll huff and puff a bit about…if I overwatch the true life unsolved mystery things….he can watch one or two occasionally but it’s not really his thing…
