A good ghost story will lead you to a place where the heart embraces the spectacular and appreciate the fine line between the living and the dead.

Ahsoka. Television Series Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 9/10

Cast: Rosario Dawson, David Tennant, Natasha Liu Bordizzo, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Ray Stevenson, Ivanna Sakhno, Diana Lee Inosanto, Eman Esfandi, Hayden Christensen, Nican Robinson, Evan Whitten, Lars Mikkelsen, Genevieve O’Reilly, Paul Sun-Hyung Lee, Jeryl Prescott, Claudia Black, Jane Edwina Seymour, Wes Chatham, Nelson Lee, Paul Darnell, Maurice J. Irvin, Clancy Brown, Anthony Daniels.

The Mandalorian and Andor proved it, and Dave Filoni’s Ahsoka has doubled down with force on the insistence, but Star Wars as an entity no longer requires the presence of Luke Skywalker, General Leia Organa, or even Han Solo in starring roles to carry the much loved and admired franchise forward.

The Book Of Boba Fett. Television Review.

The Western genre doesn’t die, it just finds new ways to menace the airwaves and pump new belief into what was a form of storytelling that had its supposed day by the time that science fiction became big business.

There was a time when a graphic novel adaption, or a spin off from a much-loved film would be met with the mixture of apathy and delight. Apathy because there was only so much that television could do in terms of making the programme accessible and in keeping with the character’s back story.

Zombieland: Double Tap. Film Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 8.5/10

Cast: Woody Harrelson, Jesse Eisenberg, Emma Stone, Abigail Breslin, Zoey Deutch, Avan Jogia, Rosario Dawson, Luke Wilson, Thomas Middleditch, Victoria Hall, Victor Riveria.

Zombies are big business, the walking dead have a licence to print money, they are a psychologists dream of interpretation and they have the unnerving ability to project a fear into us that perhaps goes beyond that of any real plague we might determine being set loose on the world; in short, zombies, it seems, can do no wrong, especially for television and certainly not for cinema.

Forgettable, Film Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * *

Cast: Rosario Dawson, Katherine Heigl, Geoff Stults, Cheryl Ladd, Whitney Cummings, Robert Wisdom, Isabella Kai Rice, Simon Kassianides, Jayson Blair, Marissa Morgan, Aline Elasmar.

It should be a refreshing take on an idea, the real life animosity that resides in the heart of a spurned ex-wife over the new woman in the man’s life, the lies, the sense of fragile and the broken manifesting itself as a potential weapon, of a rage boiling to its maximum, to the end point where the terrifying spectacle of what you see is the representation of all that can go wrong when women fight over a man. It is not the nicest thing on Earth to witness and it does leave you wondering exactly what women see in the opposite gender to make them go down the path of no return.

The Lego Batman Movie, Film Review. Picturehouse@F.A.C.T., Liverpool.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * *

Cast: Will Arnett, Ralph Fiennes, Zach Galifianakis, Rosario Dawson, Michael Cera, Jenny Slate, Channing Tatum, Jonah Hill, Jermaine Clement, Ellie Kemper, Adam Devine, Kate Micucci, Seth Green, Jason Mantzoukas, Mariah Carey, Billy Dee Williams, Riki Lindhome, Eddie Izzard, Conan O’Brien, Doug Benson.

There is nothing like a good Batman film in which to soak up a few hours, Bob Kane’s gift to comic book fandom has had its ups and down, whilst enjoyable in a kitsch, clique ridden way, the 60s television and subsequent film didn’t add much to the mystique of the Dark Knight, whereas Michael Keaton’s and Christian Bale’s interpretation of the man and the myth was completely and beautifully captured by their respective directors.
