The authorities called it The Moment.Without warning, without explanation, two hundred human beings on Earth simultaneously gained a new mental ability that would alter the planet forever. They called the power The Glamour and its recipients Sirens.Alien invasion? Divine intervention? Evolution? Before anyone could work it out, it was too late.Anthony Graves didn't want to be a Siren. He just wanted to be liked. Once a shy, suburban London office worker, five years on he is ruler of Europe and responsible for the deaths of millions.To fight loneliness, Anthony writes his life story. The result is Sirens; a black comedy of how a Nobody unwittingly became an all-powerful tyrant.Sirens is satire on a global scale; a cautionary tale of absolute power and its inevitable consequences.You're going to love Anthony. You'd better.
Insightful; scathing; eloquent; witty: a Jacob Edwards film review is like playing charades with a late-night entrenchment of university professors, all in danger of losing their faculties. Jacob clearly has high standards if low expectations, and when it comes to the cinema, he suffers death by a thousand ticket stubs. His critiques are cathartic, uproarious, irreverent and erudite, perhaps best served with digestifs. Beware, any filmmaker who spends less time and effort making a movie than Jacob does in reviewing it.Speculative fiction film reviews of: Tron Legacy; Paul; The Adjustment Bureau; Never Let Me Go; Limitless; Thor; X-Men First Class; Source Code; Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 2; Rise of the Planet of the Apes; Melancholia; The Lorax; Prometheus; Brave; The Dark Knight Rises; Snow White and the Huntsman; Looper; Rise of the Guardians; Hotel Transylvania; Cloud Atlas; Battlestar Galactica Blood & Chrome; Star Trek Into Darkness; Man of Steel; Elysium; Gravity.
