The adventurous romp, the quest for something more than we can conceive in the everyday avenue of life, has always been one to draw cinema crowds in to the darkened room, but it remains, it a post-Covid world, something that the producers of such films might have to look at with a finer eye if they are to keep the thrill of the chase paramount and not relegated to that of a mere show, of  whimsy without the necessary spectacle.

If the year has taught television audiences anything it that the court room drama, if handled and written with care and objectivity, can still grip the viewer and have them on the edge of the seat; and if you can get past the search for the face of the suspect and concentrate on the why rather than the who, then the investment will have been worth it.

When you reach the bottom of the glass, perception is everything, it can define who you are because of what you see or what you fail to register; the comfort of the glass might be the great pain killer and momentary healer but it does nothing for your eyesight or your ability to think through a situation clearly.

Everybody has an idea; everybody has something to offer the world and should never be discouraged from attempting to bring it to fruition, to at least say they tried without having it rammed down their throat when the project goes wrong. The trouble is when money gets involved or when the scheme goes well, everybody wants a piece of the action and rather than congratulating the person, the bitter pangs of jealousy rear their head. Everybody has an idea, however the committee that thought Joy would make a great film seriously needs to look deep into their heart and ask themselves why they allowed it make it to the screen.

L.S. Media Rating **

Cast: Sam Worthington, Rosamund Pike, Bill Nighy, Edgar Ramirez, Ralph Fiennes, Liam Neeson, Danny Huston.

Wrath of the Titans brings back the idea of the big screen epic that the Lord of the Rings franchise enjoyed much deserved success with and with a cast list that some Hollywood and British directors would pawn the family silver to have appeared in their film.
