For Christine Lucas, every day is a fresh start. Where others might resolve to begin the day anew and go out of their way in which to make other’s lives better, for Christine Lucas, each day is a torture, a realisation that she has no idea who she is or why she looks older than her suggested mind age of in her 20s.

Lucy, Film Review. Picturehouse@F.A.C.T., Liverpool.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * *

Cast: Scarlett Johansson, Morgan Freeman, Min-sik Choi, Amr Waked, Julian Rhind-Tutt, Pilou Asbæk, Analeigh Tipton, Nicholas Phongpheth, Jan Oliver Schroeder, Luca Angeletti, Loïc Brabant, Pierre Grammont, Bertrand Quoniam, Pascal Loison.

Scarlett Johansson seems to be everywhere you look during the last couple of years. Not only is that a testament to the actor’s work, productivity and sheer enjoyment for cinema goers but it stands in good stead for the fact that in her latest cinematic release, Lucy, she really is everywhere. In a film which for the most part plays fast and loose with the cinema fan’s intelligence, Ms. Johansson, along with the ever reliable Morgan Freeman, the wonderful find of Amr Waked and Min-sik Choi, gives a performance that at least makes her stand out amongst the backdrop of instability and sometimes utterly ridiculous story line.

Seve, Film Review. Picturehouse@F.A.C.T., Liverpool.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * *

Cast: José Luis Gutiérrez, José Navar, Maria Molins, Alvar Gordejuela, Adrián Salzedo, Quim Àvila Conde, Nil Cardoner, Manuel Menárguez, Luis Carlos de la Lombana, Peter Alliss, Severiano Ballesteros, Gary Player, Nick Faldo, José María Olazábal.

Titans will always have time allotted to them in the end; some are so blessed that a film about them or a biopic will come out not long after they have passed on, lest the public mind every have the misfortune to forget about them. In the case of legendary Spanish golfer Severiano Ballesteros, it is highly unlikely that the world will ever forget this genuine talent, the matador of the fairway. However, it does no harm to take a stroll down memory lane and shake hands once more with arguably the most charismatic golfer of all time in the film Seve.
