Bugger!
Did I tell you I hard an interview, yesterday?
In Southwark, so you know.
I’ve …
Well, I’ll be honest … I didn’t get the bloody thing!
Which was depressing, actually: especially after a few attempts with this one particular company.
At ANY rate … ?
That put me in one HELL of a bad mood.
Certainly bad enough to want to do what I eventually did.
Watch a movie to cheer myself up.
The film I went for?
In the end, the film I watch was Natalie Dormer vehicle, the Jason Zada directed, The Forest.
Well, I’m fan of hers.
Or an old perve with a taste for cute blondes, ONE of the two …
Set in and around the Aokigahara Forest of modern Japan, The Forest sees Natalie Dormer as Sarah: a seemingly happy young American woman who, one day, is phoned by the Japanese police.
It seems her identical twin sister, Jess?
Has disappeared in the forest: an area of great natural beauty known for the number of suicides its sees.
Indeed, when Sarah, travel reporter Aidan, and local guide, Michi — Taylor Kinney and Yukiyoshi Ozawa, respectively — head there to try and find Jess?
They’s frequently warned about this very thing.
It’s only when the three find Jess’s abandoned tent … ?
That the trouble really starts.
Now … ?
‘Hmmm,’ you see me say: and I can see from here, that you’ve got a quizzical expression, that demands I justify that.
Well, the SMART answer would be for me to press the relevant button!
Being LESS sarcastic, though?
I’m thinking that The Forest is a nicely done film. It’s nothing special: but makes a good — if only occasionally successful — attempt to be scary.
Personally?
If it wasn’t for the presence of Natalie Dormer — who does a good job with her dual roles As Sarah and Jess — I’d be marking this down, quite a bit …

I love it when people comment. But, having had anonymous comments I feel may be libellous, actionable or just plain offensive, over the years?
I’d appreciate you* leaving your name — with a link to your website or social-media profile†, for preference — before you post a comment.
Should you choose to use a pseudonym/name, I’d appreciate it if that name were to be polite and inoffensive. I’d rather you kept it clean, and relatively adult. Comments left with a pseudonym will be posted at my discretion: I really prefer a link.
Contentious, actionable or abusive posts left anonymously will not be posted. Nor will comments using offensive pseudonyms or language, or that are abusive of other commenters.
If you can also leave you comments on today’s Teaser Video, that would be good.
Thank you.
* I know many value their online privacy. I respect that. But hope you respect my wish to see who’s commenting on my blog: and my wish for you to introduce your self to me, and to your fellow commentors.
