With the highly-anticipated release of "Glass," I take a look at my five personal favorite James McAvoy films...
**THERE WILL BE NO SPOILERS**
#5
Wanted
Easily McAvoy's most action-packed film, "Wanted" is a stylized action adventure featuring the actor as Joe Everybody who discovers he's in the bloodline of the best assassins in the world, and must decide whether to follow his destiny or remain ordinary. Featuring Angelina Jolie, Common, and Morgan Freeman, "Wanted" has everything you need for a fun-filled adventure.
#4
X-Men: Days of Future Past
Taking on the mantle of Professor Xavier from the illustrious Patrick Stewart is no easy task, but James McAvoy has proven a very capable successor (or, precursor) to Stewart, and personally I feel his best performance in the "X-Men" franchise is in "Days of Future Past" where he is called upon by a time-traveling Wolverine to save the mutant world from a future extinction.
#3
The Last King of Scotland
McAvoy co-stars with Forest Whitaker in "The Last King of Scotland," about the personal tale of the ruthless Ugandan dictator Idi Amin, told through the eyes of his personal physician. Although McAvoy gives a great performance here, it's often over-shadowed by Whitaker, who earned an Academy Award for his performance.
#2
Split
Known for playing the good guy, this is one of McAvoy's rare turns to a villain in the fantastic M. Night Shyamalan film "Split." Playing a man who has Multiple Personality Disorder, McAvoy had to change his entire persona to play each of the 24 different personalities, and gives an absolutely chilling performance.
#1
Atonement
After falling in love with a wealthy woman, her younger sister lies and tells the police she saw him commit an awful crime, sending him to prison and then the army. Although distance separates them, their love continues to grow, as both wait for their eventual reunion. James McAvoy shines, as does Keira Knightley, but it's then-newcomer Saoirse Ronan that steals the show, beginning an illustrious career for the talented actress.
Major Theatrical Releases May 2019 After the hype that is "Avengers: Endgame," May offers a massive collection of differing types of movies, enough to entertain everyone. Here are the major theatrical releases for May 2019. **THERE WILL BE NO SPOILERS** **DATES ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE** The Intruder May 3 Dennis Quaid goes from starring the family-friendly "A Dog's Journey" to playing a total psycho in "The Intruder." When a young couple purchases a home from Quaid's character Charlie, they didn't realize it came with an addition - Charlie himself, who can't seem to let his old home go. I don't expect any twists or turns in this tale, and this looks like a film better fit for Lifetime than the big screen. Long Shot May 3 Charlize Theron stars as Charlotte Field, the current Secretary of State and who's running for President. Seth Rogen stars as Fred Flarsky, a...
