There are times when you look at a film and understand the hype that has been attached to it, that the feeling of a completed article is close at hand, and yet in the same recognised thought, you see the issues that others have labelled down and wondered if they even went into the screening with that one purpose of mind, straight forward, non-objective or stereotyped open mindedness.

Glass. Film Review.

 Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 7/10

Cast: Samuel L. Jackson, Bruce Willis, James McAvoy, Sarah Poulson, Anya Taylor-Joy, Spencer Treat Clark, Luke Kirby, Marissa Brown, Charlayne Woodard, Adam David Thompson, M Night Shyamalan.

The art of the film maker comes with the unexpected sense of the sleight of hand, the appearance out of nowhere which justifies the movie as one that was always ready to be defined by what follows it, a story which the audience has no idea is part of a greater tale, one in which the director and writer might not have realised they themselves had no idea they were be guided by outside forces to make.

Heroes never die, they just become engrained into the picture, drawn from the world and to face obscurity, a faded hope that slowly gets replaced by the champion in which the world at that time deserves.

The Legend Of Tarzan. Film Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 9/10

Cast: Alexander Skarsgård, Christoph Waltz, Margot Robbie, Samuel L. Jackson, Sidney Ralitsoele, Osy Ikhile, Mens-Sana Tamakloe, Edward Apegyei, Antony Acheampong, Casper Crump, Adam Ganne, Simon Russell Beale, Djimon Hounsou, Miles Jupp, Jim Broadbent, Christopher Benjamin, Ben Chaplin.

It is arguably one of the most distinctive calls in the history of cinema, a simple cry of masculinity and dominance and yet one that is fuelled by the perversity of European culture making claims on the lives and heritage of Africa in the 19th and 20th Century. Edgar Rice Burroughs’ Tarzan is rich in its story telling, if not in the very sentiment of abuse it was trying to dispel in his readers at the time.

The Hateful Eight, Film Review.

Not so much a Western, but a murder mystery wrapped in the backdrop of post civil-war America and into which the bleakness of the situation, the desperation of the unfolding events will have many surely comparing Quentin Tarantino’s eighth film, The Hateful Eight in no small measure to Agatha Christie’s And Then There Were None or any derivation of the name.
