3 Days before the new month starts and I haven’t written my Monthly Murphy yet…what a shame!!

My monthly Murphy usually posted early each month, but due to some mechanical problems this post got delayed till this date. Better late than never, right?

I have spotlighted Cillian’s Cameo performances last month and I think it is only fair if I write about his Short Films now.  Have already posted a short film by Cillian on October 2010 called The Silent City which I consider as his best short film. Now, I will talk about his pot his short films.

So far, Cillian has done 8 Short movies;  Quando (1997), Eviction (1998), At Death’s Door (1999), Filleann an Feall (2000), A Man of Few Words (2000), Watchmen (2001), The Silent City (2006), and The Water (2009). I will write about all his shorts in their own time. For now, I will write about Watchmen and The Water

Watchmen (2001)

Watchmen is a short film written by Cillian Murphy and Paloma Baeza, Paloma also acted as the director of the movie. When I first read about it in Wikipedia, I was so curious with the film, wondering what kind of story is it. After watching it, I can say that this is my second favorite Cillian’s short film (The 1^st is of course the Silent City). Watchmen is a nice comedy that really cracks you up in the end of the story.
