The phenomenon will always be with us, the occurrence of the cinematic event that manages to infiltrate almost every aspect of life and society is one that either is embraced or shunned with seemingly equal proportions. Whilst the Marvel Studio may have held the position of top dog in the last decade, the undisputed King of the block, it is to the characters of Elsa and Anna that the Queens of the Frozen franchise have infiltrated their way into theatre productions, the songs, the costumes, the public, arguably cannot get enough of the sisters, their snowman and the magic of their lives.

Occasionally it is not what the film says at the time but what it can promise for the future which makes it an enjoyable feast to get your teeth into; admittedly cinema goers and film goers would prefer to see this happen on the first attempt, the climax of the film serenading those glued to their seats with a lullaby of further adventures to come, of the tale being even more dynamic, and in some cases, revealing more to the story and the character’s depth.

Hotel Artemis. Film Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * *

Cast: Jodie Foster, Sterling K. Brown, Sofia Boutella, Jeff Goldblum, Brian Tyree Henry, Jenny Slate, Zachery Quinto, Charlie Day, Dave Bautista, Kenneth Choi.

It is almost impossible to hold antipathy towards Jodie Foster, there is no rhyme or reason to look at her contribution to the art of cinema as nothing less than favourable and with some incredible memories along the way, from Taxi Driver through films such as Bugsy Malone, The Accused, the unforgettable performance as Clarice Starling in The Silence of the Lambs, and even in 1993’s Sommersby, Jodie Foster has sealed her reputation as an actor of outstanding quality, she has been one of the industry’s most forthright and passionate of spokeswomen.

It has taken time to get the film right, to put into place a mainstream film in which, not with-standing the excellent Wesley Snipes led Blade trilogy of films, has cast a superhero in which the cinematic experience is one of overwhelming joy, of learning the lessons shared with positive enlightenment and one that does not bow to the demands of absolute anger, Black Panther is a film in which the rise of the proud and the noble who have fought every inch of the way for such a moment will relish, and quite rightly so.
