To love reading graphic novels or comic books is now socially acceptable, a medium that even finds itself part of a university curriculum, part of cinematic history, and one that the vast majority celebrate being enamoured by the absolute sense of accomplishment of the films and the surprise of how well the television serials have captured the imagination of even the least dedicated of fans and brought cool to what was once derided by teachers and cliques as being a poor substitute of reading.

They who have remained are the ones reaping the benefits of dedicated, intricate, and highly polished storytelling. A narrative so beautiful that not only would the late, great, and hugely missed Stan Lee have marvelled at how sublime the director Kate Herron had brought every element of surprise, style and belief to the six-part series of Loki, but how both Tom Hiddlestone and Sophie Di Martino in their respective roles have encompassed the graphic novel’s giants turn to the television serial, and how effective it has been.

Betrayal, Theatre Review. The Harold Pinter Theatre, London.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 9/10

Cast: Tom Hiddleston, Zawe Ashton, Charlie Cox, Eddie Arnold.

The act of infidelity is one that causes infinite pain, but also brings a state of war within the soul of the people affected, regardless of whether they are the instigator of the close-knit treachery or the one left behind, unknowing, blissful in their ignorance, loyal to the ideal that they have in their mind that their world is safe from such corruption.

Norse mythology is such that it gets overlooked in the modern world in favour of a more fashionable awareness of modern possibilities, political issues and our place in the world. It is not only Norse that suffers, even now looking say at British history in the history of the Roman occupation can lead to sneers of derision in some quarters, people, perhaps understandably, forgetting that the way we are now is because of the stories passed down in myth and legend, Roman, Greek, Egyptian, Native American, Inuit or even Norse, they play a part in the way we view heroes and evil in the world.

High Rise, Film Review. Picturehouse@F.A.C.T., Liverpool.

Brutal and dark, deeply disturbing and a tremendously excellent film, it seems strange then in that case that it has taken the best part of four decades to get J.G. Ballard’s High Rise to the screen but then it would not have had arguably the best actor for the role of the slowly mentally disintegrating Dr. Robert Laing in Tom Hiddleston.

The Victorian society, one so noble, one so pretentious and self serving, had no qualms about the dealing with those they saw as lingering within the realms of madness, those they thought were drawn too deeply to the shadowed recesses of the mind as to actually give them many euphemisms and one that has persisted through time is the mad woman in the attic, the woman who is locked away from even her own family for the fear of the dark web that she surrounds herself with.
