TV Show: Armchair Detectives

          Here I am lying in bed as I am typing this. I am sick. I got the chills and fever yesterday. My throat is sore and it hurts, plus I developed a cold (clogged nose). I'm taking antibiotics today and paracetamol. I just finished watching Netflix's Irish Wish, it is a cute rom-com played by Lindsay Lohan. She is a popular American actress who played the lead in "Mean Girls" movie.

Anyway, checking my Amazon Prime. I bumped into this cool tv series, hosted by Susan Calman. It is called, "Armchair Detectives". Its a cool tv series because you get to solve the mystery of who is the culprit. I read that they based this on the "Cluedo," "Sleuth 101" and "Whodunit". I got hooked immediately and I tried solving it. I just had a hard time understanding what was being said because British English is quite different from American English, the way they pronounce and say sentences and words. British accent is more close with Australian accent. I am a lover of British culture and an Anglophile. Someday I wish to visit the birth place of Jane Austen and Agatha Christie, my favorite writers. 

If you enjoy mystery/crime tv shows and series, you better check this out, and let yourself be involved in solving the mystery! 

Movie Review: See How They Run

         I just finished watching this movie today.

This movie mentions our favorite queen of mystery writer, Agatha Christie's long-running play, The Mousetrap. This is available on Disney channel, Philippines.

Spoilers ahead! So the movie is about this director who got killed while in a celebratory party for the musical play, The Mousetrap. In the movie there was a plan of making it in a film. Enter these two inspector from the Scotland Yard, a young rookie one, Constable Stalker and senior Inspector Stoppard. 

I kinda find this movie dragging. I started watching this weeks ago and its only now that I have finished it. I learned that this was based upon two young boys who were maltreated by their foster parents and one of that boy died (real life person named, + Dennis O' Neill) due to physical abuse. I have not seen or read this play. The Three Blind Mice is the novel form, and The Mousetrap is the play script of it. I also didn't like their portrayal of Agatha Christie. Well, this is my opinion only, we are all entitled to our own opinion right?! If you have not seen the movie try watching and write me a comment of your thoughts about it. Okay?!

TV Series Review: Only Murders in the Building

           I am currently subscribed to Disney channel in my cellphone application. I have decided to subscribe because, "See How They Run," is the movie adaptation of Agatha Christie's novel, "The Mousetrap." 

I have read that, "The Mousetrap" is the world's longest running play. So I am itching again to have a copy of her book. This Disney tv series stars, Pop Princess and former tv series princess, Selena Gomez and tv movie and veteran actors Martin Short and Steve Martin. In Season 3, Meryl Streep was included in the cast. In less than one week I have finished this tv series and I absolutely love it. Even if crime and murder is really scary, I was not really scared at all. What I felt in this movie is like a cozy feeling at home. Watching the trio solve a crime and just being best pals with each other gave me comfort, and I must say this tv series is one happy pill for me! I love Steve Martin's portrayal of a "has been" action tv series star, as Charles Haden Savage, and Martin Short as Oliver, a former director of theater plays and lastly Selena plays the Mabel, the mysterious beautiful neighbor (in Season 1). This was set in a beautiful building called the Arconia in New York.

Spoilers coming! Season 1 is about the trio uncovering the murder Tim Kono, a tenant in the Arconia. Season 2 is about Mabel being suspected as the killer of Bunny, the building president and Season 3, who is the killer of the lead star in Oliver's directorial play again. If you have not seen the series I suggest you do! It is so funnily entertaining! Can' t wait for season 4. The double of Charles Haden Savage was shot.
