Replicas 1.5 stars☆☆☆☆☆

3rd May 2019 by Sarah Cartland Leave a Comment

There’s something pleasingly pointed about a man jokingly claimed to be immortal starring in a movie about creating a form of immortality. Sci-fi cloning film Replicas was also co-produced by Keanu Reeves, whose youthful visage and apparent appearances in portraiture through the ages baffles many who apparently can’t tell the difference between two men with dark… Replicas Read More

*** Read my interview with John Jencks, director of The Hippopotamus *** Stephen Fry’s book of the same name came out over 20 years ago but The Hippopotamus is still very relevant today.
