Guest Blogger Melissa O’Donnell: THE VISIT
by Melissa O’Donnell THE VISIT MOVIE REVIEW FROM THE VIEWPOINT OF A PHILLY BASED ACTRESS I was granted the privilege of attending an early screening of M. Night Shyamalan’s THE VISIT, at United Artists Theater in King of Prussia, PA through Tinsel and Tine. I jumped at the opportunity as both an avid film fan and Philadelphia based actor. I love seeing what Shyamalan releases because I know what he is capable of as a writer and filmmaker, but almost more so, I love what he does for the film industry in the state of Pennsylvania. He constantly brings his work to his home state, employing local cast and crew,…

Fear of driving is not the only fear that this film addresses. The fear of being left, the fear of committing to marriage, the fear of political persecution –…

An Unlikely Pairing for: A WALK IN THE WOODS
I’ve never understood the need to be challenged. Particularly when it comes to challenging yourself physically. That old saying about anything worth having is worth doing, or some such nonsense, holds no water for me. I like things easy. I enjoy not just creature comforts, but any comforts. I try never to be too hot, God forbid I be too cold. I need to be in surroundings with lots of natural light on a daily basis, yet protected from too much sun and bugs.
