The Fall Season 2 Review
The Fall Season 2 is the continuation of Paul Spector’s journey into the world of murdering professional, black haired, independent women. This season of The Fall aired on BBC One on November 13, 2014 in the United Kingdom. When the season begins, Paul “Peter” Spector’s (Jamie Dornan) only surviving victim, Anne Brawley (Karen Hassan), is trying to regain her memory and account for the day of her attack. Her family has decided that Spector is the highest rated grief counselor in Northern Ireland and they summon him by mail to visit Anne in the hospital. He readily agrees to treat her and returns to Belfast from Scotland, without notifying his estranged wife, Sally Ann Goodall (Bronagh Waugh), whom is pregnant, but continues working as a neonatal intensive care nurse. Paul’s first visit to see Anne turns out well, because she does not recognize him and she admits to feeling very comfortable around him. Metropolitan police officer, Detective Superintendent Stella Gibson (Gillian Anderson), continues to lead the Musicman, a special task forced assigned to investigate the recent string of murders. Thanks to the intense work of pathologist professor, Reed Smith (Archie Panjabi), a fingerprint was discovered on a pair of large cutting shears, which was found disposed of in a nearby lake, there is now enough evidence to arrest Paul for the attack on Anne and the murder of her brother, Joseph (William Willoughby), but they must find him first. Paul rents a room at a local motel and continues to evade the police. He has now been forced to kidnap a former acquaintance, Rose Stagg (Valene Kane), who he had a brief sexual encounter with, while they were attending college. She is so valuable to the investigation into Spector, because she remembers how he tried to strangle her, during their private time together, but she only remembers him as “Peter”. She gives a detailed description of what Paul looked like, at that time and a composite drawing was completed per those details. Katie Benedetto (Aisling Franciosi), whom is Paul’s former babysitter is willing to do whatever it takes to get him to have sex with her. She is so obsessed with Paul that she will help him in his quest to get away with his crimes. He is forced to bring her on board with his schemes, in order to keep his family safe. It appears that Katie also has some type of sociopathic tendencies, just as Paul does. Surveillance is ordered for Paul’s residence, family, and Katie in order to try and track Paul down. Sally is asked to come into the police station and give an actual testimony and account of the night that Anne Brawley was attacked. She gives in and tells the truth about Paul’s whereabouts that night, even though she does not know to what extent of problems Paul has caused her and himself. Stella becomes intrigued with newcomer, Detective Sergeant Tom Anderson (Colin Morgan), whom she later invites to join the Music Man task force. It becomes obvious that Stella wants to have sex with him, because he reminds her of Paul and that is exactly what she does. With the investigation winding down, Paul is finally tracked down and apprehended. He is charged for his attack on Brawley and is taken to an interrogation, processing room. He refuses to open up about his attacks and murders to anyone except for Stella. Stella agrees to have a one on one with Paul, where he eventually gives in and reveals more details about his child life and murder spree, but not without questioning her about her infatuation of her own father, which was detailed in her diary. Paul makes a plea deal with Stella in order to get a visitation with his daughter, Olivia (Sarah Beattie). Will he take Stella and her team of police officers to Rose’s location or will he lead them on a wild goose chase? Review The second season of The Fall definitely did not fail to impress. Although some of the scenes appeared to be rushed, it was still very well paced and held my attention throughout. Some of the events that led up to the capture and apprehension of Paul was a little too easy for my liking. I must say the interview between Stella And Paul, during the season finale was some of the best acting I have ever witnessed on national television. Gillian Anderson and Jamie Dornan definitely outdone themselves in this impressive scene and hopefully it earns them a BAFTA, because they have earned it. The dark and secluded scenery was perfect for and will draw the viewer into the show immensely. I give the second season of The Fall an 8.5 out of 10. I definitely cannot wait to see Jamie Dornan is Fifty Shades Of Grey, which is scheduled to hit theaters on February 13, 2014. ReelMockeryJay Skelton is a fan of all television shows and movies.

A Good Marriage Review
A Good Marriage is a thriller film that debuted October 3, 2014 in the United States. When the film opens, Robert “Bob” Anderson (Anthony LaPaglia) and his wife, Darcy (Joan Allen), are celebrating their twenty-fifth wedding anniversary. After the party they retire to their bedroom, where they follow-up with their very own private celebration. Petra tries to convince Bob into letting her buy him the 1955 lost penny. Darcy and Bob see their daughter, Petra (Kristen Connelly), and her friend off on a trip, then Bob leaves to continue his work an antique, coin collector. That night Darcy is watching television, when someone knocks on the door, which she does not answer. She is searching through the garage, when she finds Bob’s porn magazines and a little pink box that Petra had given him, which contains the word “DAD” on it, with a lady’s photo identification card inside. She becomes frantic and puts it back where she found it. The phone rings and it is none other than Bob. The television is previewing the New Hampshire serial killer case, which has claimed the lives of a dozen victims. Darcy has suspicions that Bob may be the serial killer and decides to do her own investigation on the Internet. She finds photos of all the victims and one of them is wearing the same pair of earrings that Bob gave Petra as an anniversary gift the night before. Petra has trouble sleeping, after she discovers Bob’s little secret and decides to take a sleeping pill. She becomes delusional and imagines that Bob knows she is on to him. Bob is at a diner, when he sees a beautiful woman putting on her lipstick. He follows her, when she leaves. That night he returns home to question Petra about why she is so upset. He also knows that she has discovered his secret hiding place. Bob convinces Darcy to forget about his little secret because a divorce would ruin their kids. Darcy goes to sleep and wakes up to discover that she had a night terror, which Bob was strangling her. She looks around the house for Bob, but cannot seem to find him. Bob returns home that evening only to pretend like everything was as usual and he was not a killer. Darcy makes him promise that he will never kill again and they would never speak about it again, he readily agrees and also promises to bury Mrs. Margie Duvall’s I.D. card. Petra calls Darcy only to complain about her upcoming wedding arrangements, while Bob is happily digging away in the garden and planting flowers. Darcy goes to have dinner with her friend, Betty Pike (Cara Buono), only to return home to see the update of the serial killer, Beadie on the television. He has now claimed the life of another woman from Portsmouth, which just happened to be, where Bob had attended a coin show that same day. Darcy and Bob attend Petra’s wedding and act as if nothing is going on between them. Darcy continues to have delusional thoughts and dreams about Bob’s killing spree. Bob, just happens to find the long lost 1955 penny and they decide to go out and celebrate. She tells Bob that she will be waiting on him upstairs, but she waits until he ascends the stairs and knocks him over the top bannisters. He just so happens to still be alive and she finishes him off by suffocation, then she cleans up the crime scene, before she calls 911. After the funeral, Darcy is approached by Holt Ramsey (Stephen Lang), who claims to be a detective. He tells her that Beadie stands for Bob and Darcy’s first initial in their names. Darcy visits Holt in the hospital and tells him about Bob’s secret. He tells her that he approves of her decision to kill Bob. Will Darcy be able to live guilt-free after killing Bob and will Holt take her secret to his grave with him or will he turn her into the authorities? Review A Good Marriage is rated as a thriller film, but there is truly nothing suspenseful to the story line. At the beginning of the film maybe, but after the first ten minutes, you pretty much knew what was going to happen. This Stephen King adaptation is certainly different than any I have seen and that is not to say that the film was a flop because I still enjoyed it to a point. None of the actors stood out in the film and the scenes were nothing to brag about. The only thing terrifying about the movie is the movie its self and for that I give it a 6 out of 10.
