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: 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.

Movie Review: Lady and the Tramp

  Last week, I watched a Disney classic animation, entitled "Lady and the Tramp." I am familiar with the appearances of the dog characters in the movie since, we have these Disney classics story books when we were still kids. In fact, we still have these books at home.

At first, I was not really that focused in watching the movie but as the story progressed, I really find it okay. According to Wikipedia this movie was a 1955 musical romance film that centers on an American Cocker Spaniel named Lady. Jim Dear, gave this dog as a gift to his wife, Darling. The couple was childless at first, but after some time, Darling became pregnant, and there was the baby! One day the couple needed to travel, and they needed someone to take care of the baby. They asked Aunt Sarah to look after the baby. Aunt Sarah has two cats, and she is not very fond of dogs, especially with Lady.  So this is where the problem started. I will not tell the whole story here. If you have not seen the movie, you can try watching it.

What I like about the movie is that it focuses on how a dog might feel in a family. Dogs might feel unloved. I am aware that this could be possible since I have a poodle, and she is kinda sensitive. Having a dog is really a commitment, just like when you enter a relationship, its not only love that keeps you going, but bear in mind that you are committed to someone, and this is not something that you are going to neglect, or leave, when you get tired of it. This is a good family movie, and I really like the lesson that it teaches, especially to those who are dog lovers. A family with a dog is really more special.
