On this edition our reviewers preview the digital release of new documentary EYE OF THE STORM directed by Anthony Baxter. EYE OF THE STORM - Widely recognised as one of Britain’s finest landscape artists, James Morrison’s work hangs in the homes of JK Rowling and the Royal family, as well as in museums and private collections around the world. But in the twilight of his life, James loses his eyesight and with that, his ability to see the landscape as others couldn’t. As Morrison reflects on his remarkable artistic journey, from the Glasgow shipyards, to France and the vanishing arctic wilderness, he also confronts his sight loss by attempting one final masterpiece. Eye Of The Storm is a powerful and poignant exploration of the connection between freedom, transcendence and art, through the stormy eyes of a master. ON RELEASE MARCH 5 - PRE-ORDER NOW.

Grace and Goliath DVD

£10.99 (+ £3.99 Shipping)

Grace and Goliath will scoop you up in its mighty arms and carry you on an emotional but hugely enjoyable roller coaster! A Hollywood big shot, (and he knows it!) Josh Jenkins sweeps into Belfast to make a movie, but before long his world crashes and he loses everything. Lily (a hotel cleaner) invites him to stay with her family and gradually the people of this ‘strange’ city touch his heart, forever. A powerful story of how one man’s GOLIATH ego is brought down by one single blow...of GRACE!

Dir: Tony Mitchell – UK – 2018 – 90 mins – Cert: PG – in English
