The horrors of World War Two remain indelibly stamped, seared with painful fire of innate memory on Europe’s collective conscious and the world’s shame. There is no escaping the suffering, the revulsion, and history has shown us that if we start to forget what terrible crimes were committed, what possible actions could have been implemented in the name of furthering the Nazi ideology, then as is forever noted, we are in danger of repeating them and going deeper into the minds of evil.

What if? The question has always been a popular game pleasingly set in the eyes of discussion, the possibilities, driven by a strong imagination and depth of knowledge of the subject, are endless and have become just as an intriguing part of life as anything we may have lived through or studies.

The curse is such a staple of horror that, unless used wisely, loses its charm with little fanfare and only the slight chill of what might have been attached to the work in question.

We either fear the possibility of life on another planet and the concerns that might raise should they find a way to visit us, or we feel the pull of trepidation that exists because we suspect that we are alone in the universe; no matter which one that pulls your own strings more, it cannot be dismissed that there are an abundance of possible sightings of U.F.O.s, scorned and rejected by Government and official sources, and yet caught in camera by millions.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * *

Cast: Scott Poythress, A. J. Bowen, Susan Burke, Rowan Russell, John Marrott, Jocelin Donahue, Chris Sullivan, Aaron Larsen, Jack Vernon, Victoria Smith.

The Devil makes use of idle hands, but how many of us have ever thought of what we would do to the personification of evil if we found that we could capture and lock it away, if we could proclaim the worlds of immortality, I Trapped The Devil.

The birds and the bees, even in the second decade of the 21st Century we are coy about any sexual act, one of passion and lust, one of caring and hidden; and yet for all our advancements as a society we still have the thoughts of repression and the unhappiness of how those who paved their own way in love were treated by society at large.

The Vanishing. Film Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * *

Cast: Peter Mullan, Gerard Butler, Connor Swindells, Gary Lewis, Ken Drury, Gary Kane, Emma King, Soren Malling, Olafur Darri Olafsson, Roderick Gilkison, John Taylor.

There are some jobs that feel as though they are built for the romantic, for the notion of what being alone with your thoughts can do, and the impact it will have on your soul; time apart from the rest of humanity, time spent with just yourself in command and with nothing to worry about except perhaps the demons waiting in the dark.
