The phenomenon will always be with us, the occurrence of the cinematic event that manages to infiltrate almost every aspect of life and society is one that either is embraced or shunned with seemingly equal proportions. Whilst the Marvel Studio may have held the position of top dog in the last decade, the undisputed King of the block, it is to the characters of Elsa and Anna that the Queens of the Frozen franchise have infiltrated their way into theatre productions, the songs, the costumes, the public, arguably cannot get enough of the sisters, their snowman and the magic of their lives.

James Bond: Thunderball. Audio Drama Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 7.5/10

Cast: Toby Stephens, Tom Conti, Alfred Molina, Janet Montgomery, John Sessions, Lisa Dillon, James Callis, Josh Stamberg, Ian Ogilvy, John Standing, Janie Dee, Julian Sands, Nigel Lindsay, Matthew Wolf, Alan Shearman, Darren Richardson, Aaron Lyons, Simon de Deney.

A film that suffers under the weight of its writer’s history is one that finds itself developing the human disorder of duel personality, and whilst Thunderball is film that sparks the imagination, it also leaves the fan wondering how the series could hope to capture the brilliance of the previous film, Goldfinger.

In many ways Hollywood has not changed a single bit since someone put up a soundstage, started the cameras rolling for the first time and a voice in the background shouted out with a booming voice, action. Men have always called the shots, it isn’t right, it can be downright obscene and for many, change has just not happened quickly enough.

Secret In Their Eyes, Film Review. Picturehouse@F.A.C.T., Liverpool.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * *

Remaking a film for an English speaking audience can be problematic, it can detract from the spectacle that originally played out or even lose some of the drive that first made the story a hit, thankfully the producers behind Secret In Their Eyes have kept the tension and effort of concentration in place and the final pay off is one that still catches the audience unawares.
