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.

Loki. Television Series Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 9/10

Cast: Tom Hiddleston, Gugu Mbatha-Raw, Sophie Di Martino, Owen Wilson, Wunmi Mosaku, Richard E. Grant, Jack Veal, Deobia Oparei, Jonathan Majors.

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.

The cruelty of life is such that those who should stay dead, sometimes never do, the mayhem of their life interferes with any possible peace that may come your way, their presence, long after you thought you had buried them, somehow returns to cause chaos, to bring you pain, a pain arguably always born out of misplaced loyalty, memory and love.

Philomena, Film Review. FACT Cinema, Liverpool.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 9/10

Cast: Judi Dench, Steve Coogan, Mare Winningham, Michelle Fairley, Neve Gachev, Charlie Murphy, Simone Lahbib, Sophie Kennedy Clark, Charles Edwards. Xavier Atkins, Wunmi Mosaku, Alan Davis.

True stories that are given celluloid treatment usually veer into the realms of films that gloss over certain aspects of life just in case it upsets someone of a particular calling, not so in the case of Philomena. This is a film that doesn’t shy away from the monstrous way in which some girls were treated in Ireland when they became pregnant.

With Louis Lester on the run and the options and choices he has being reduced by the minute, it seems that the conviction of murder that has been placed around his head is nearly as in place as the noose or the great jazz notes that he and the band have produced for this scintillating and keenly written Stephen Polokoff drama.

Dancing On The Edge, Episode Four. B.B.C. Television, Television Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * *

The penultimate episode of Dancing on the Edge, Stephen Poloakoff’s jazz masterpiece, was turned up another notch as the police started to close the wrongly cast net on Louis Lester and in an episode in which echoed the rise and fall of the Louis Lester band, the heat and the mood was increased and given just that little extra spice in jazz movements.

Dancing On The Edge, Episode Three. Television Review. B.B.C. 2.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * *

Just exactly what is Louis Lester on the run from? A tantalising question that the makers of Dancing on the Edge are drawing out in spectacular style and in which shows no sign of answer…just yet!
