David Neville King: Vegas. Single Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 8.5/10

The temptation of Las Vegas is such that it has inspired a multitude of songs, a myriad of films, and a plethora of dreams, who can blame a single person for understanding this peculiar American desire to get rich quick surrounded by the sense of multi-coloured excess and the sound of machine designed to send the emotions whirling.

Pink Floyd: Animals (2018 Remix). Album Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * * *

There is always life in a beast with pedigree, no matter its age, all that the one walking by its side needs to know is that it will grow and protect, that it will offer guidance, sympathy, and a sense of freedom throughout its existence.

For many, film and video games are now interchangeable, one pushes the other onwards, they are the same behemoth just with different pasts driving them; and for others it is a tangled web, one designed for a generation that perhaps has not explored the rich history that has placed cinema at the head of entertaining and educating millions of people since it first gained reverence as the peak of the visual art form and remained so until its more agnostic sibling, television, stole its pace in the habits of billions.

Doctor Who: Unbound: Doctor of War 2: Destiny. Audio Drama Review.

Eventually the path that should have been taken will reveal itself once more, another chance, another shot of redemption, for Destiny in the hands of the deserving is seldom a one-off affair, for the responsibility of the name is what providence and fate hold dear, a tethered connection, substantial, unreserved, unbound by the road less travelled; for a hero and a good person will always find the right path in the end.

It is only when you re-immerse yourself back into the realm of previous encounters that you witness just how much of it was for your benefit, the sense that the scene before you taking place was possibly scripted, that you were fooled into believing one thing, when in actual fact the opposite was the true course of action taken; it is enough to make you scream time after time, but one that is of anguished understanding rather than let down annoyance.

Monstrous. Film Review.

Cast: Christina Ricci, Santino Barnard, Don Baldaramos, Colleen Camp, Lew Temple, Carol Anne Watts, Jennifer Novak Chun, Peter Hodge, Nick Vallelonga, Sally Elbert, Lola Grace, Rachael Edlow, Darin Cooper, Aimey Beer, Neraida Bega, Philip V. Bruenn, Matt Lovell, Nancy O’ Fallon, Chris Mullinax, Anjoum Agrama, Olivia Reid, Kathy Sue Holtorf.

The very act of being part of, or witnessing, a traumatic event is such that for those who live through it, the mind will do whatever it can to protect them from the images, the constant emotional distress that will creep into their lives when they least expect it, or the triggers that will accumulate and cause the brain to fracture, to cause a schism that will separate truth from fiction.

Slipknot: The End, So Far. Album Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 8.5/10

If you don’t know what you’re expecting by now, then you must be living in a circus, for how else do you explain the sense of colour, the wonderful madness, the sheer scope of the metaphorical three ringed extravaganza that accompanies the drama of Slipknot. For what you should be expecting is the unexpected, the inquisition of the unforeseen, the anticipation of the startling effect, and who better to grab your attention that one of the most dynamic and self-motivated bands of the last two decades, than that of Slipknot.
