If the rest of the world believes that British cinema harks back to the events and critical moments of World War Two for inspiration, then it could be argued that the American Civil War holds the same type of sway and thought for those across the wide expanse of the Atlantic Ocean.

Cast: Gerard Butler, Piper Perabo, Morgan Freeman, Fredrick Schmidt, Danny Huston, Lance Reddick, Rocci Williams, Harry Ditson, Ori Pfeffer, Michael Landes, Mark Arnold, Kerry Shale, Tim Blake Nelson, Jada Pinkett Smith, Nick Nolte.

Occasionally you just have to sit back and be astonished at how a film manages to be given the green light to see the light of day, how, despite the odds, it morphs into a franchise that keeps going, and how it hooks in one of the most respected and gracious actors of his time, the honourable Morgan Freeman, to what is surely no more than a down market version of No Way Out, a simplistic, basic thriller that leaves a taste so thin in the mouth that it could be mistaken for gruel.

Colossal. Film Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * *

Cast: Anne Hathaway, Jason Sudeikis, Austin Stowell, Tim Blake Nelson, Dan Stevens, Hannah Cheramy, Nathan Ellison.

 

There is a monster in all of us, how we keep it quiet, how we take on its virtues and its quirks is up to us, whether we drown it, whether we lull it to sleep with any type of substances or whether we allow it to consume us, to overtake our lives and subdue, to make us feel the guilt of all we have done, the thought behind it all may be too much to handle, it may just be too Colossal.

Cast: Miles Teller, Michael B. Jordan, Kate Mara, Jamie Bell, Toby Kebbell, Reg E. Cathey, Tim Blake Nelson, Dan Castellaneta, Owen Judge, Evan Hannemann, Chet Hanks, Mary-Pat Green, Tim Heidecker, Mary Rachel Dudley.

 

Someone, somewhere owes many cinema goers and fans of the Fantastic Four one big apology for what can only be described as a detailed examination of how not to bring comic book heroes to life. If the apology isn’t forthcoming, it can only be down to the fact that many who were involved in the project will have conveniently forgotten their involvement very quickly.

Some films just have the ability to leave an audience member completely unnerved by the message of stark truth that they can feel as though have been hit several times with a jack hammer across the stomach and yet have them pleading for more.
