It’s a shame that American cinema cannot learn from its mistakes, especially when it comes to comedy, parody or irony and if the bench mark in recent times had been set low with Bad Neighbours then it doesn’t really get any better with Scouts Guide to the Zombie Apocalypse.

Like films about sporting events, it can be hard to catch a piece of art when confining it to the kitchen, when allowing the furnace like quality, the cauldron of temper to infiltrate celluloid, for like an orchestra, every interpretation of the moves and subtle dance within a restaurant kitchen is open up for debate and explanation.

Nothing can truly prepare you for that moment when you walk through immigration at J.F.K. or when you step off the boat and look to the west to begin a new life, nothing prepares you for the home sickness, for the memory of the people you have left behind or for the realisation that no matter how far you travel, home is now only a plane journey away.
Wild Ponies, the acclaimed East Nashville-based band, helmed by singer-song-writing duo Doug and Telisha Williams, will be coming to Grateful Fred’s, Cafe D’Art in Formby on Monday 16th November, in support of latest album Things That Used To Shine. They’ll also be previewing new songs from their upcoming album, due for release in 2016.
Wild Ponies are unafraid to cross boundaries, determined to carry on a heritage that’s been decades in the making. That independent streak also holds true for Doug and Telisha Williams, who take the band’s name from the small-but-mighty animal that roams their native Virginia highlands.

The old familiar music, the killer instinct, the brutality and scenes of torture to be endured, a world in crisis which hangs by a single thread and a pristine tuxedo filled with the best that MI6 has to offer, Bond is back, this time though, as the saying goes, it really is personal.

It is the enemies that you don’t see coming that leads the soul to mortal terror. Those that hate you and openly declare war on you and your kind, at least with those you can reason with, draw a line in the idle and share Time on Earth without ever seeing again, it is those that profess to have your best interests at heart that you have to wary of.

There are films that engross you, that pull you in from the very start, the intrigue of the dynamic opening, that no matter how the film progresses from that point, no matter the connection made between film-goer and intended meaning by the writer and director, you are already living and breathing in the black celluloid dystopia on offer, such is the surreal quality of life and of The Lobster.

The astounding J. M. Barrie’s mischievous creation, the noble and forthright Peter Pan, is so beloved, not just in the U.K. but all over the globe, that it really is not surprising just how much affection the character garners and just how many films and stories that stay in the mind. It is a character that offer offers everything to the child’s imagination and as such stays within the heart of the adult when such things as fantastical pirates, fairies, crocodiles and flying boys should perhaps be left to fade away into the world of half remembered dreams.

The Victorian society, one so noble, one so pretentious and self serving, had no qualms about the dealing with those they saw as lingering within the realms of madness, those they thought were drawn too deeply to the shadowed recesses of the mind as to actually give them many euphemisms and one that has persisted through time is the mad woman in the attic, the woman who is locked away from even her own family for the fear of the dark web that she surrounds herself with.
