23rd August, 2018.
You know …
I woke up this morning, with the intention of watching a movie.
Made point of mentioning it on today’s Teaser, even.
Thinking Fiddler on the Roof would be a good one to see: I’ve never seen it.
But, after finishing dinner, teasers and laundry?
But felt three hours of musical was maybe a bit much …
So … ?
Money being tight, I let my finger browse through my back catalogue.
I felt there’d be something in the collection that would … you know …
Appeal …
As it turned out, there was.
Nice film …
But about James McAvoy …
~≈§≈~
She, Claire and Marcia (Haley Lu Richardson and Jessica Sula) are kidnapped by a man calling himself Dennis (James McAvoy.)
A man who managed to kidnapped the girls: and keep them imprisoned.
And who, it seems, has many names …
And distinct personalities.
Twenty-four of them, to be precise …
~≈§≈~
Now … good … ?
Hmmm …
I really couldn’t tell you.
I’ve — beyond Sixth Sense — not seen enough of Shyamalan’s to tell you how representative of it Split
is.
Personally?
I found it … if not good, then certainly unnerving: with a sound track that was disconcertingly creepy, a use of close-ups that will tell you how scared Taylor-Joy’s character is.
And, in James McAvoy’s performance, should me the most frightening portrayal of madness since Hopkin’s in Silence of the Lambs.
I can’t help but tell you to watch Split.
Split.

Post a Comment
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.
