Crime, Mysteries & Thrillers discussion

Who's your favorite character on "The Good Wife"? I think mine is the Alan Cumming character.

I love Alan Cumming in anything.

love Castle... just watched tonight...
and my recording of "Worst Cooks in America" I recorded yesterday night

Watching Castle right now.

I'm right here and also watching right now creepy thriller/horror "Mother's day" movie Just in the mood to watch something like that right now.

I finished watching The Voice and now I am hooked on Chopped on The Food Network Channel! I love those shows! They are my guilty pleasure!

Anybody watching Bates Motel?

We just finished watching Modern Family, one of our favourite comedies..

What's not to love about Duck Dynasty? What I love about it is that it's a good clean funny show that I don't have to be concerned letting my kids watch it, who my son loves it and watches it religiously! He is also a Billy the Exterminator addict!

What is your time difference from the US?

I just watched Die Hard 5. It might be the worst thing my eyes have ever seen. The acting and dialogue were cringe-worthy..and every 5 mins we were reminded that Bruce Willis was meant to be on vacation. They also use some kind of toilet spray in Chernobyl to get rid of the radiation. I want my 8 bucks back.

Watched the latest episode of the Kevin Bacon TV show The Following. I liked the first few episodes but now its starting to get a little redundant. I don't mind a show that takes its time to build the story but this one is starting to get to the point where the story seems to be dragging rather than building.

Watched the late late show a few hours ago. Brilliant interview with Tom cruise. He was in Ireland earlier this week for the European premiere of his new movie.

Last night we watched The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel and loved it. Excellent movie.

LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE this movie!!!!! Dame Judy Dench is in it. Go watch it quickly. You will love it.

Currently watching Revolution and I am quite surprised how good it is. Thought initially I would just watch when bored but I am now addicted

I saw Silver Linings Playbook a couple of weeks ago. Excellent ensemble cast.

I just watched Secrets and Lies and thought that was incredible, also the film set in Louisiana during Hurricane Katrina, Southern Beasts of The Wild, I thought the little lead actress was so great.

Spent this week reconnecting with "Dexter". I've been watching season 7 of "Dexter" on-demand on Showtime.
I'd forgotten how good it was, loved it! Can't wait for eighth (final) season coming in Junr.

I just watched Mostly Martha, and it was made into another movie with Catherine Zeta Jones and Aaron Eckhart, same storyline, the title was no reservations, I think? another dvd I watched was You can tell by just looking at her, or maybe the title is wrong, about different women storyline, quite good. Holly Hunter, Kathy Bates, Glenn Close, Clarrisa Flockhart and Amy Brenneman, and Cameron Diaz make up the cast of characters. It was almost like a circular storyline.

Has anyone watched NBC's Hannibal played by Mads Mikkelsen?
I'm a huge fan of Mads MIkkelsen and so far I've heard mixed reactions to the show..thinking of taking the plunge anyways.

First show I have watched in weeks was modern family

I guess, but he was Italian though, so that was along the plotlines. I watched in subtitles. I also tried to watch Remington Steele, Pierce Brosnan was so great in that series, along with Stephanie Zimbalist.

I watched The Client List... Anyone seen Hannibal? What about Bates Motel? BM is on tonight on A&E

ARGO.
good, solid movie. Love the details of the time period (which I lived through, so fairly accurate)

I dunno if it's the best film I've ever seen, but I could find no fault with it, so that makes it heads above most hollywood movies I've seen lately.

For extra fun, watch all the credits and see the actors next to the real people they portrayed. uncanny.

I watched Zero Dark Thirty the other night. That was the first movie I've watched in awhile.

Of course, I will watch The Voice tonight and tomorrow as well as Chopped tonight, and Ready for Love tomorrow!

Zero Dark Thirty was great and inspiring... Another good show is Da Vinci's Demons... I know this is what we last watched, but just in case someone doesn't have something to watch

Just started watching 'The Following" series. Way too many Poe references for my liking. Like reading a Koontz novel minus the mandatory dog. (Although a few dogs die in the first episode).

Poe references dial back in later episodes. the last 3 or 4 have been extremely interesting.

Just saw Game of Thrones last night, had to catch up on last week episode

Thanks bud, was hoping I wouldn't have to give up on the series. My wife really likes it.

I want to get a 'House Stark' sign made up for my front door...but my wife won't let me. Not because it would be too nerdy...which it is....but because she is 'House Targaryen'...heh.

Watched Game of Thrones last night. Always a fav in my house. Also I do kinda like the new DaVinci's Demons. Watched that on Friday.

Watched the following and Bates Motel- it was so good!!

I want to catch Bates Motel. The previews are looking good but I guess I should start from the beginning!

I wanted to catch The Following but I didn't hear about it until mid-way through the season and I don't have Fox on my On Demand channels so I will have to find time to catch up online!

I was watching Monster's Ball last night, never had before and it looked really good, but I fell asleep. Thank goodness I recorded it!

Game of Thrones is definitely one our favourites as well; I hate having to wait a week for the next episode. Sunday has become one of our favourite viewing nights; Call the Mid-Wife, The Good Wife, Mad Men, Game of Thrones, Mr. Selfridge and this past Sunday a new show; The Bletchley Circle (an interesting mystery)

I have been watching "The Following", I have ambivalent feelings about it. At work we were discussing "The Following" and I'm not the only person with mixed feelings. I'm watching it but still don't know if I like it.
Now on FX I love "The Americans", it's about Soviet "sleeper" agents in the US during the 80's. FX builds a lot of shows around anti- heroes.

Watched a portion of The Benchley Circle earlier today and looking forward to the rest of the episode later tonight.

Watching "The Invisible Man"(1933) such a great film!!

Added that to my list. Thanks for the tip

I watched the latest episode of The Following last night and it was very suspenseful! Also, I find Lightfields, a British mystery series, very interesting.

Off to look it up. Thanks for the tip.

Sundance Channel's brand new series Rectify is absolutely mesmerizing. I just watched the first two episodes on demand after being tempted by a promo prefaced by 'from the producers of Breaking Bad'.
The excellent use of silences and the sheer quality of performances,could not help but feel this tremendous empathy for the lead.I'm deeply moved.

Been watching Mythbusters with my family. I'm not a devotee but an episode here and there is entertaining. Also been watching the children's series Demons (starring Phillip Glennister). Shame they only made one series. About to go watch an episode of A Most Mysterious Murder hosted by Julian Fellowes who wrote one of my favourite tv shows - Downton Abbey and also a fabulous series called Titanic. I've only read Snobs of his books but I enjoyed that too.

Breakout Kings.

Touch

I know that there are more than just a few who did not think Viking was worth watching. I, along with my Daughter and Grandson (15yrs), enjoyed Viking very much. I must admit that some of drama was either over done and/or not as accurate as history would reveal, if we could be there to experience it live. We are forced to compress their lives and events into themes or episodes to attempt to capture what may have happened and why. Solid development of story and characters not to mention some great scenery. I hope for season 2.

Psych - seems like this season is particularly silly (in a fun way).
