Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 9/10
Moving On is not a sign of resignation, the shrugged shoulders epitomising defeat and the slow trudge away from the company you have once kept, it is rather a point of understanding that what has once been and which has helped you scale certain heights, is now just a stepping stone to another adventure, the next beat to which you must follow and into which creativity and life urges you to behold.
Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 8.5/10
The way we consume music now is unarguably different to 20 years ago, even during the golden years of the singles charts being taken seriously as a measure of how the nation reacted to the aural stimulation provided by the imagination and creativity of its heroes and the unknown warriors fighting for a moment in the sun, what we now find is that the single is perhaps lost in the maelstrom of continual listening, it is the instant hit on the senses and without the same sensation on the fan’s anticipation as it once was.

There was a time when teachers would look upon their pupil’s reading habits and consciously judge them accordingly, no matter how interested in the source material, the children’s ability to report on what they had read and the lessons learned from the text, the snobbery and direct condescension placed at the student’s desk as they admitted to reading comic books whilst their peers and friends got praise for having spent their weekend with their noses pretending to have insight into the world of ‘serious’ literature was short sighted and demeaning.

The belief in playing to your strengths is one that is fraught with the acknowledgement that you might never improve in other areas, the whole notion of only ever drawing upon one set of ideals or inspiration is an anathema to writing, it stunts creativity and can lead to the permanent pigeon holing of your possible future endeavour. Yet for all that some conceding must take place when it considers the future of what could be a demanding series, in which the plot begs for a choice to made, one of social commentary or the mystery at hand.

How do we look in to the eyes of a killer, of a psychopath, of a human being who has fallen under the weight of madness and whose life will go on to unravel to the point of extreme actions taken, and not see either ourselves, or perhaps the part that we have played in that person’s downfall.

Rags to riches, we all dream of bettering the hand we have been played, to take on the phantom dealer of the cruel hand of fate and lending our name to the appropriate nature of immortality. Few though hold their nerve by sticking to their principals, by refusing to yield to temptation that such rapid rise might entail, and whilst they will probably end up forever having their dreams dashed, at least they can do so with a clear conscious and a heart that is light and with sign no sign of corruption in their soul.

Subconsciously driven by the exotic use of imagination or shaped by the events we observe, there is a tale in each of us that demands to be told, and in which regrettably few of us choose to pursue.

Cast: Keanu Reeves, Halle Berry, Ian McShane, Laurence Fishburne, Asia Kate Dillon, Lance Reddick, Tobias Segal, Anjelica Houston, Said Taghmaoui, Jerome Flynn, Randall Duk Kim, Margaret Daly, Robin Lord Taylor, Susan Blommaert.
Keanu Reeves is a conundrum, arguably one of the most sincere actors of his generation, an instantly likeable man, and someone who has that rare quality of being thoroughly decent to all. Yet on occasion the real is replaced by the puzzling, the mystifying, how else do you balance the honourable with a series of films in which the body count is off the scale and in which you cannot help but argue that is the epitome of violence for violence sake, and one that seriously asks how far American culture has gone down the route of almost being addicted to the sound of gunfire and its relationship with world of gaming.

There are times in life when you find yourself kneeling on the steps that lead to another human being’s alter and understanding why you are praying for the type of intervention that only a symbol of creation can bring to your troubled soul; in that moment of revelation you become a follower of the bright light that has been exposed, your breath quickens and your mind is laid bare of all that you thought you recognised and appreciated.
Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 9/10
To understand that the way you perceive a moment in time or a place can be altered by the presence of a certain individual is arguably the point of identifying your stance in faith and in love, of stepping over the boundary between selfish observation and openness, of single martyrdom and petulant irritability and that of composure and assurance. It is in the mark of maturity that we seek to embrace serenity in the midst of chaos and revulsion, that we accept that whilst we maybe disgusted by our surroundings we can openly say that I Hate It Here, But You Are Here, And I Love You.
