Wildcard Wednesday A Kill in My Family

 

When I heard that this film was set in a stately home, as I like stately houses I was intrigued enough to watch it.


At the very start it is confusing as to why Diana (Erin Agostino) ran out of the door and to where she did. It is not clear what is happening on Crawford Island. You could say it is a strange start to this film.


‘Quite the mystery’ is exactly right and now the shop has become a lot less friendly. Now off to the island and so the family connection begins.


I find myself watching the background for shadows in this film but what actually happens is a little less predictable. The dream, the windy night, the banging of the window is all a cliche, but what is strange/unbelievable is when Carly (Anna Hopkins) stood on the broken glass with bare feet with no injury/cuts.


I like the description of ‘Resourceful’ fans, are fans and just want to absorb everything about their idols.


This is a great murder mystery that is also a ghost story. I like a good ghost/murder mystery and I feel this will not disappoint.


It is intriguing how attitudes change when Carly Travis’s identity is revealed. This is big/good and now it is getting bigger and better.


It looks very much like a residual haunting which means the energy is played over and over like a tape recorder and doesn’t/cannot interact or know it or you are there, like an intelligent haunting. I do think that maybe the mystery will be solved through the dreams but I may be wrong. And now the portrait is upside down.


It is now nice to see that Carly has a visitor also it turns out an ally as well. Call me a ‘cynic’ but has Lauren (Alex Paxton-Beesley) an ulterior motive. Lauren? Now this is getting crazy strange and also a total unexpected shock. No boat.


‘Weird’ that is an understatement. This is actually an amazing tangle of weirdness, on and off the island.


Well hello Grandfather ‘Donald’ and now Lauren again. What a revelation! So that is how Lauren knew about Kevin’s (Christopher Jacot) life change. It just goes to show that you should be careful who and what you write about.


Mystery solved. Sometimes all you need is that one piece of information linked to a photograph as well as crime writing in the blood, and it all comes together. And now after, let the vacation begin.


Thank you for reading

  I thought the same. So, where is she? If Lovejoy (Ian McShane) says ‘He will get one’ I suppose he will. I suppose, I would say, it depends on what you paid for a painting a nice ‘Fake’ at a fake price is fine, but if you pay a genuine price tag, then you could be out of pocket/at a loss. A mother is a mother so that covers all. A chain is forming. I am glad he was ‘Word perfect’ With a compliment to Lovejoy, not that ‘Old’ then. All these rhetorical questions. These are amusing to hear. ‘George?’ so funny. A coincidence, the same outfit, oh dear. Sweet.  Oh, for the best, Ibelieve. ‘Closed’. That is good. Oh that, well at least the deal was done.

Fun Friday Love Knots Lovejoy

  It is nice to hear about the history of a collectible antique as we very rarely get to know where or why things are as they are. I really feel for Jane (Phyllis Logan) and it is sad that Alex (Pavel Douglas) is saying all the wrong things. Also I agree he should be around more for her to ask. That was good timing. I do feel for Jane it is horrible to watch. Just as Tinker (Dudley Sutton) was talking about travelling in his dreams . i thought of the film Chitty Chitty Bang Bang where Grandpa Potts (Lionel Jeffries) did most of his travelling through daydreaming and all of sudden Tinker spots a character in the auction room called Potts (Tony Caunter). This is a completely surprising coincidence. Now we hear Tinker talk about the interesting messages left and things are getting heated in the auction room. I don’t like that he stopped bidding either, it is disappointing to watch. That is a big dog. So funny poor Lovejoy (Ian McShane) sit down. That is one spoilt dog and that is an u...

Fun Friday Eric Of Arabia Lovejoy

  It is an eye opener and quite true, can something be classed as original when parts have been replaced due to wear and tear?. This part reminded me of the TV program Only Fools And Horses with David Jason. Where the character Trigger (Roger Lloyd Pack) was going to get an award for having the same broom whilst working. This would have been fine if he hadn’t revealed that the broom had had so many new heads and so many new handles. Lovejoy’s (Ian McShane) take on this is not quite so amusing but works for the episode. This bike business is now getting amusingly action packed and cringingly dubbed. What a find. Very useful.  Not the music again. Fascinating stuff. Thank you for reading Sandra
