Mum's Monday: Paint By Murder

When I see this was set in a gallery, my first thought was that it sounded like a plot from the American TV program ‘Murder She Wrote’ with Angela Lansbury.

The beginning is slow and I would like to see more of the paintings. I am also glad that Casey (Galadriel Stineman) got sent away, seeing as she spoke out of line and interrupted a serious art topic of conversation. Saying that she certainly didn’t deserve what happened to her.

After the script being dull and flat with no emotion. An interesting painting results in a cheerful upbeat, if only for a moment, exchange of words.

Now Casey is missing, a life lesson here is try to be nice, so if anything did happen people would want to show concern, well more so than they show in this film.

I can see where they are trying to go in this film, A painting of interest, suspense, but it just doesn’t work even the music although dramatic while Kate (Alexxis Lemire) is looking at the painting. There, to me, is no suspense, all it comes down to is, is the painting real? That is another program Fake or Fortune? With Fiona Bruce. 

Casey is missing and the reaction is flat. This is not a good film, on top of that most of the scenes are tinged with an orange hue. The set, the lights and the backgrounds. A high-light is there is pizza. A very important client even that was trying to be dramatic and failing.

Now back to the painting and the dream ended with a little cough again flat and just silly. At least there is pizza again and Kate got her door fixed. And now back to silly, I mean who gets that excited about a mended door? Now I do like the line ‘You really are a horrible cook though’ that line did work in that scene. Maybe this film is getting better, sadly, however, one good line doesn’t always make a good film. 

Why weren’t the police told about the address Casey went to before? This is an awful film, bad script, bad scenery, bad plot, bad acting and now apparently unrealistic.

Why are the police holding Robert (Stephen Graybill) for questioning? There is now a plot hole also Kate continues to be a non reactive character. 

‘The gallery needs the painting’ and why is she now sorry for ‘Snapping’? She didn’t. The acting continues to be really bad, Kate didn’t mess anything up, this is now becoming disjointed and with plot holes all over the place. So the painting I feel is still a mystery or there is still a mystery surrounding it.

Well that was easy to solve, It would really be an awful film to not have a shock, unexpected ending and it is an awful film. 

Now I like the x-ray effect done with the paintings but this is a bad, boring  and flat film and I only watched it til the end to see if it got any better and it didn’t. I wouldn’t have even called it the title this film was given either.
