History is but a consecutive set of lies passed off as fact and written down in accordance by historians to dispute at leisure.

What We Do In The Shadows (Series Three). Television Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 8.5/10

Cast: Kayvan Novak, Matt Berry, Natasia Demeetriou, Harvey Guillén, Mark Proksch, Kristen Schaal, Lauren Collins, Tyler Alvarez, Aida Turturro, Catherine Cohen, Scott Bakula, Cree Summer, Donal Logue, Khandi Alexander, David Cross.

In the world of the ‘Mockumentary’, What We Do In The Shadows stands out as one of the finest examples of the genre. Not only does it have characters that are unassumingly charismatic, who you genuinely find yourself caring for, but the fact that it is able to develop, that the progressive nature of the writing, the situation and the narrative is fluid enough to keep the viewer on their toes, marks it out as one of the great comedies of the day.

Bill & Ted Face The Music. Film Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * *

Cast: Keanu Reeves, Alex Winter, Kristen Schaal, Samara Weaving, Brigette Lundy-Paine, William Sadler, Anthony Carrigan, Erinn Hayes, Jayma Mays, Hal Landon Jr., Beck Bennett, Kid Cudi, Amy Stoch, Holland Taylor, Jillian Bell, Dave Grohl, DazMann Still, Jeremiah Craft, Sharon Gee, Patty Anne Miller, George Carlin, Piotr Michael.

It is time to face the music, the unavoidable truth, that not everything in life that has a certain groundswell of opinion must be made, produced, or even given much consideration. That is the position that Keanu Reeves and Alex Winter regrettably find themselves in as they return 25 years later to their alter egos of Bill S. Preston Esq. and Ted ‘Theodore’ Logan in Bill & Ted Face The Music.

A Walk In The Woods, Film Review. Picturehouse@ F.A.C.T., Liverpool.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 7/10

Cast: Robert Redford, Nick Nolte, Emma Thompson, Mary Steenburgen, Nick Offerman, Kristen Schaal, R.K. Harris, Randall Newsome, Hayley Lovitt, Susan McPhail, John Kap, Alex Van.

Bill Bryson is arguably one of the leading exponents of dramatic and comedic travel writing in the last 50 years, his books have sold millions and they are told as if being let in on series of amusing anecdotes, they veer from the dull and professionally accurate descriptions of a life with a map book in one hand and the inevitable pseudo-snobbish that comes with some of the craft and instead what they become is essential stories of a life well travelled. This is never more perfect than in his best- selling book A Walk In The Woods.
