It is the way of the modern world; a studio realises they have a cinematic hit on their hands and quickly takes steps to rush out a sequel. A couple of quick years pass, and the movie is almost seamless, the succession soon passed down, and before you know it you have a franchise on your hands. It is understandable, and whilst commercial capitalism is unhealthy, it does allow the viewer to keep the story in their minds, to keep it fresh, and not allow the tale on screen to become stagnant.

Life boils down to communication, the willingness to talk about even the most inconsequential moments as well as the static, the shouts of indifference and the moans of love, terror and laughter; without being able to communicate in any form, without breaking the barriers that naturally occur between us in language or in our attitudes, we do not deserve to be considered reasonable, adept or functioning members of the planet.

There are moments of cinema so longed for that when they finally arrive it is always with a touch of hesitation of whether the viewer will actually believe in the finished article. The ultimate match-ups, the suspense, the nature of heroism, the costumes, the fights, the unexpected and the one cruel eye of misfortune waiting in the wings like an errant spider, swollen, ready to pounce on anything that makes the film stand out in a way that just doesn’t fit in with the idealistically placed images running around the fan’s mind.

True life is a far stranger ideal than fiction could ever hope to emulate and perhaps one of the most complex of lives and relationships of the 20^th Century was between the supremely talented Margaret Keane and her plagiarist, obscenely greedy and mentally abusive ex-husband, Walter Keane.

In the minds of many this side of the great ocean divide that separates the United States of America from the U.K. the glitz and glamour that is seen in various television shows and films centres on the likes of Miami and Las Vegas, further down the list is Atlantic City, a bolt hole for gambling in the upper portion of the great state of New Jersey but one in which too few ballads, poems or dreams are made of.

The least said about the 2006 Superman Returns film the better, the small screen adaptations although kept the legend alive were filler, more fluff than in a room full of pillows and for the films that made Christopher Reeve the deserved star he would be, there was so much wrong with them, so many parts miscast, so much playing for laughs that it can be often surprising to think that they three sequels.
