EPiC: Elvis Presley in Concert: Blu Ray Review

Cast: Elvis Presley

Director: Baz Luhrmann

There's no denying the electricity of Elvis Presley in director Baz Luhrmann's latest attempt to continue the King's legacy.

It's clear he's not left the building as Luhrmann mines some 50 hours worth of footage of Presley playing a series of concerts in Las Vegas in what feels like the perfect companion piece to the 2022 biopic which starred Austin Butler.

Cross-cutting performances, throwing together backstage rehearsals and just generally mining the 1970s popularity of Elvis works wonders - up to a point.

Beginning with a quick run-through of where the King came from, the energetic doco format seems to be the traditional winner at the start of this. Elvis is decried by those who believe he's Satan in a jumpsuit because of his dance moves, he narrates his own boredom at the tedium of his Hollywood career that became a cookie-cutter version of his first-ever success and he promises to shake up his career with his Vegas residency in the 1970s.

It's all very familiar fare - and yet, when Luhrmann simply lets the camera capture the sheer charisma and presence of Presley, it becomes something that's a singular concert experience - even if it does appear to want to be spliced together by modern technology, close-ups and cross-cutting between some 10 concerts that were recorded for posterity - and then lost.

Granted, there's a technical adeptness in the way Luhrmann switches effortlessly between appearances, and he even gives the backing band time to shine, but he can't help himself from some editorialising, which detracts from the overall feeling.

The first mention of Colonel Parker, Presley's handler, is a voiceover that stands atop footage of someone holding a gun to Elvis' head in a film; and footage of his wife Priscilla is set to a live rendition of Always On My Mind. There's a clear bias here, which isn't really needed.

And yet, cynicism aside, this is a very real, very impressive and just a joyous musical experience that seems in keeping with what the King would have wanted. Along with comedic asides and genuine banter backstage and on stage itself, Presley proves here why he still has the power and sway.

From the white-jumpsuit version of Suspicious Minds that's become infamous to the speeded-up Hound Dog and plenty of other hits like Burning Love, you'd have to be dead to not tap your toes to this.

EPiC is an enjoyable enough experience; and if you're a King fan, it's essential viewing. But Luhrmann's desire to be a little too clever occasionally takes you away from the spotlight of the King - and that's a crying shame.

Ready Or Not 2: Here I Come: Disney+ Movie Review

Cast: Samara Weaving, Kathryn Newton, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Shawn Hatosy, Elijah Wood, Nestor Carbonell
Director: Tyler Gillett, Matt Bettinelli-Olpin

The 2019 original Ready Or Not was a bloody blast.

A fresh idea on the horror genre that also satirised the idea of in-laws and marriage, it offered a wave of originality and gore while delivering a complete story about Samara Weaving's Grace and her descent into hell.

So a second film faced a problem from the start - with everything wrapped up, there was only the lore to expand and the gore quotient to be upped to ensure that this feels like something different from the first.

Unfortunately, despite an extremely strong performance from Weaving as the clearly traumatised Grace, Ready Or Not 2: Here I Come never quite gains the pace of the first film - or the smarts.

Picking up just moments after Grace has burnt down her past encounter and survived the game of hide and seek until dawn, she's reunited with her sister Faith (Newton) whom she abandoned seven years ago. Bitter about each other's treatment, the pair is kidnapped by a group of Satanists who want to seize the power vacuum left by Grace's murderously protective spree and take control of the High Seat, which Grace's in-laws previously controlled.

It's all a McGuffin really for six new families to try and hunt Grace and Faith down, while the two sisters bicker and quarrel their way through their issues.

The problem with Ready Or Not 2: Here I Come is that after the first 30 minutes or so, the movie loses steam and becomes repetitive, hitting the same beats and delivering the same human blood-sack explosions that the first did. But this becomes a case of diminishing returns, given how predictable the story devolves and how tiresome it gets.

One sole sequence that shines involves a wronged bride, a wedding reception and pepper spray. That, coupled with Bonnie Tyler's anthem, marks the film's only moment of originality - a brutal, funny and cleverly executed set-piece in among a sea of indifference.

And there's an incredible amount of uncomfortable brutality against the women in this film. Every punch they receive, every kick they're given - they all land with painful edges and feel a little like the filmmakers are overegging their desire to inflict pain. Netwon alone receives such a beating at one point that it feels like a flashback to Maddie Palmer's death in Twin Peaks in its nastiness.

None of this is to detract from Weaving's performance throughout. Despite the sisters-reunited subplot never really hanging together, she's fierce, frightened, broken and occasionally hopeful as she wearily accepts what's going on and how to survive it.

A lack of real villains in the piece - other than Gellar and Hatosy's twins, most of the menace feels like an amorphous blob waiting to be punctuated by a bloody self-explosion - also cripples proceedings with the well-defined antagonists of the first film feeling like an afterthought.

When it comes down to it, Ready Or Not 2: Here I Come struggles for a true raison d'etre. Viewed simply as a sequel that's become necessary because of the cult success of the first, it struggles to get out of its own circle of hell - and because of that, at times, this feels like an unwelcome visit to cinematic hell.

Doctor Who: The Collection: Season 21: Blu Ray Review

Released by BBC Studios
Published by Madman

A generous 10-disc collection, the 21st season of Doctor Who: The Collection sees Peter Davison's softer avuncular Doctor bowing out in style before the brash Colin Baker incarnation kicks in. 

Packing in a range of quality of stories which go from the ludicrous in Warriors of the Deep (famous for its pantomime beast The Myrka) to the sublime in his farewell Caves of Androzani, the set manages to cover the entire gamut of 1980s Doctor Who.

Central to it all, and as is usual with these Collections, is the wealth of extras that come packed within - and once again, the 21st season doesn't disappoint - even if some of the AI upscaling causes a few viewing issues here and there.

A new commentary for two-parter The Awakening and special editions of other stories are included, as is three new In Conversations with companions Janet Fielding, Mark Strickson and Matthew Waterhouse. Docos include Look Who's Boating as Peter Davison, Janet Fielding and Sarah Sutton head to the waters for another outing and Toby Hadoke spending 48 hours with Janet Fielding.

For fans, these sets represent the pinnacle of what's on offer - even if the AI upscaling that impacted Doctor Who The Collection Season 13 makes it feel at times like it's a step too far in preservation.

With seven classic stories and hours of deep dive documentaries and insights, this really is unmissable TV fare presented in largely the best quality available.

Good Boy: Blu Ray Review

Cast: Indy the dog, Shane Jensen
Director: Ben Leonberg

Pushing a concept as far as it can go works wonders for indie horror Good Boy.

But if you're averse to open-ended films that are reliant on your own interpretation, perhaps this won't be the film for you.

Told from a dog's-eye level (not a point of view or perspective), it follows a dog who accompanies his owner to a cabin in the woods after his owner's unspecified medical issues and an apparent rift in his owner's relationship.

However, once the pair arrives at the cabin, the pup begins to see and hear things, and fears his owner's life is in danger from something other than illness.

Good Boy is an incredible piece of film-making thanks to its lead performance of Indy. For a creature that can have no direct understanding that it's in a movie, the work done by the dog is just second to none, and utterly intuitive.

At its heart, the film appears to be an exploration of the impact of illness, dressed up in a supernatural elements story. As his owner is consumed by sickness, the house becomes more active and the supernatural jolts more pronounced. And while some will complain there are only so many times you can show a dog upset by a bump in the night, with a lean 72 minute run time, director Leonberg more than delivers.

Wtih themes of loyalty and friendship, and some genuinely terrifying moments thanks to a carefully constructed delve into fear (at one point, the dog wets itself), Good Boy has an interesting trajectory at heart - what if the person you care most about can't be saved?

It's perhaps pertinent that by setting the film at a dog level and also by hearing things that humans can't, the film gets more out of the haunted house premise than a simple fright-night flick may have done. Plus, making the hero a dog immediately brings audiences on side and emotionally invested.

However, director Ben Leonberg isn't interested in throwing that care and commitment away with just easy and cheap thrills. There's a real heart here that's given beating life by Indy's performance and a human story that cries out for exploration.

If you buy into the premise and the exploration of an animal's loyalty, plus the very real fear of losing that, Good Boy is an utterly compelling and original film that demands to be seen. It's a singular experience given life by its main actor - a very, very good boy.

Good Boy is now streaming on Shudder

JBL Endurance Zone: Review

Open ear earbuds are not the most auspicious of pieces of kit in the wearables market.

Granted, there are plenty of options out there, but most users, if pressed would no doubt proclaim that they'd prefer to have options that sit in the ear and are subtle, rather than ones which are obtrusive, sit on the ear and stand out.

It's this kind of snobbery perhaps that JBL's decided to tackle with these Open Ear Design IP68 secure fit ear pieces. And it's a joy to report that they largely work better than you'd be expecting.

Comfort is perhaps the first thing you notice about these. Once you've adjusted to their design, they do fit securely over the ears, and while the IP68 waterproof and dustproof rating hints at them being durable, the idea of getting water into the ears and into the speakers feels like it sits at odds with how the best earbuds work.

In terms of fit, they can mould to your ear and sit snugly over the ear canal - but as with all fits, they're personal in terms of how it feels for each individual. So for an over-the-ear piece of kit, they offer an impressive volley against the stigma of something not fitting inside the ears.

They come with a charging case and while it's not most the light of cases and feels chunkier in comparison to most other models out there, it holds around 24 hours of charge for the buds, which is nothing to be sneezed out. (The Zone ear pieces last around 8 hours on a single charge).

And while the sounds inevitably not as custom-fitting as other earbuds offer, you'd have to be a prude to sniff at what they actually give out in terms of audio quality. Perhaps call quality is the biggest surprise with the buds not dropping out at all and providing a stability that impresses.

Perhaps the weakest part of this little bit of kit is the need to tap them to get responses and to adjust volumes and so on. Overly responsive and annoyingly fiddly, the tap controls remain the weakest part of this offering. 

With app customisation and the chance to retrofit these to your own personal tastes, it has to be said that the JBL Endurance Zones surprise and offer a stronger case for over-the-ear technology than perhaps you'd first expect. With minimal outside noise affecting the audio, all they need is an adjustment of attitude and you're away laughing.

Jackass: Best and Last: Movie Review

Cast: Johnny Knoxville
Director: Jeff Tremaine

Johnny Knoxville and his band of merry men return for one apparent last gasp as old age catches up to them.

This fifth outing for the Jackass team is supposedly the final one they'll do and blends a little new material with some of the old classics. So how you'll feel about Knoxville and his crew subjecting themselves to both a little indulgence and a lot of pain depends on how much love you've had for the franchise over the years.

2022's Jackass Forever was supposed to be the end of the line for the gang, but it seems the lure of the perennially dumb continues to endure.

Lego Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight: PS5 Review

Developed by TT Games Studios
Published by Warner Bros Games
Platform: PS5

The Lego games franchise has always been a strong contender for pick up and play mentality that appeals to all ages.

But as the catalogue grew, along with the trademark humour of whatever it was apeing, TT Games showcased a deep love for whatever it was that they happened to be parodying. From Star Wars to Harry Potter, via Marvel and Lord of the Rings, the games have always been accessible, open and above all, fun.

This latest takes that love to the extreme as it follows the entire Batman franchise story, delivering a fair bit of unlockable content and free-flow combat that apes the Rocksteady Games franchise that proved to be so popular.

Yet it's also packed with Easter eggs and nods to the world of Gotham that makes it so enduring for fans - albeit not to the extent where it alienates non-fans of the Batman world.

While it does try something different with the combat, it doesn't veer away from the formula of smashing bricks, collecting studs and generally goofing around with the world that DC created for its hero and their villains. With large captions of screen each time you take down a villain, you'd be forgiven for thinking the game's mocking the 1960s Batman and its campy Adam West ways. But in truth, everything here is an homage of love.

Mixing stealth and also fighting combat, the game does occasionally feel a little repetitive, especially in some of its earlier missions and set up. But each level feels deep and expansive, a world that's deeper than perhaps some of the previous games have been and rewards longer investment within them.

It's still a winning formula - from seeking collectibles to smashing anything around, the game's not really veered away from what makes them great. Perhaps there are too few unlockable characters here though, something which will speak to a minor lack of depth.

But whether it's zipping through the air in Gotham or collecting WayneTech, Lego Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight is the kind of game that's perfection to play for hours on end. You'll lose track of time thanks to this joyous homage to what makes the Batman tick and what makes the Lego games work.

Kiln: PS5 Review 

Developed by Double Fine Productions
Published by XBox Game Studios
Platform: PS5

The art of the multiplayer game is not an easy one to master.

If it's not the likes of Fortnite or Overwatch, cut-through is exceptionally difficult and if the game's tricky or with a low-user base, it's dead before it's barely begun (Just ask Sony's Concord.)

The latest from Double Fine, the studio which brought us Psychonauts, is an intriguingly different idea - you play a sprite which can inhabit different kinds of pots - but one that doesn't feel like it's quite reached its full potential at launch.

It's a very simple premise - you're in charge of controlling different kinds of pots to possess them and to take on the opposition with the hope of dampening down the opposition's kiln. Bigger pots, which are susceptible to more attacks, carry more water - the greater the risk, the greater the reward. But smaller ones offer up a chance to make plenty of minor attacks and gains. There are some 24 different body sizes meaning that there's plenty of choice for those who want to try different types of battle.

With its 4 x4 gameplay and availability, the game's subscriber bases aren't small so it's helped that there are people playing this game, but with a lack of maps, the game may face an uncertain future that worries somewhat.

For an anarchic edge, Kiln has it in spades. Games become chaotic as everyone attacks each other and the skill levels vary - but after the initial thrill of the spill has worn off, the game starts to become a little repetitive - no matter how colourful and cute it actually is.

It's to be hoped that Kiln finds its feet very soon - because there's genuinely a space in the gaming world for a family-friendly multiplayer. Kiln has potential but it feels like it needs a little more time in the pot to heat up its true potential.

Supergirl: Movie Review

Cast: Milly Alcock, Jason Momoa, Eve Ridley, Matthias Schoenaerts, David Krumholtz, Emily Beecham, David Corenswet
Director: Craig Gillespie

Nearly one year after director James Gunn released a revamped Superman movie to relaunch the DC Universe, House of the Dragon's Milly Alcock takes centre stage as Kara Zor-El aka Supergirl.

While Superman has found his place in the universe as a protector of planet Earth, Kara is struggling to discover and define her path. However, when her only other surviving colleague from the planet Kryptonite, her dog Krypto, is poisoned by space pirate Krem of the Yellow Hills (Schoenaerts) and has only three days left to live, she sets out on a quest for vengeance and to try and save him by getting an antidote.

Based on the Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow eight-issue limited run comic series, Craig Gillespie's movie looks to tackle some heady themes, while trying to deepen the Superman world and lore. 

And in parts, it really shines.

Milly Alcock utterly owns what's needed of her here. The difference between her and her cousin Clark is stark. In one line, she says he sees the good in everyone and she sees the truth when asked if they're similar. Alcock's Supergirl has a lot of PTSD to explore and deal with, something that's triggered further by her life on Krypton, which is different from Kal-El's. 

While Superman showed her as a party girl, determined not to take life seriously, it soon becomes clear that it's a mask, an insight that's probably not a surprise to many, but Alcock imbues it with gravitas and heft, as well as inherent sadness after she faces a life without Krypto.

There are also some surprisingly low-key scenes between the two cousins which bookend the film, grounding both of them and probably setting up a dynamic for Man of Tomorrow, the Superman sequel that's due in 2027.

Plus, the DC Universe feels kind of low-rent too, littered with scuzzy creatures and a space menagerie of life forms that feel like they never really get much screentime in these kinds of films. Along with production designs that deliver the lower end of ships and day-to-day life that feel like they're from Mad Max, Supergirl widens the universe by not wearing rose-tinted glasses. And it's all the better for it.

However, not all of this works.

Chiefly, it's an issue of tone throughout. Moments of jokiness clash up against the more sombre themes of rage and vengeance, and it doesn't always work. 

Momoa's Lobo (a kind of beefcake vampire cross with the lead singer of KISS) just feels completely out of place in proceedings, a kind of hammy, OTT character that really adds little to the proceedings and shows up just because he can. 

And disappointingly, Eve Ridley's Ruthye, who's supposed to be the moral conflict of the story as she wrestles with the desire for revenge, just seems to be prone to be repeating her mantra in a Princess Bride Inigo Montoya way that soon loses its heft. Plus, saddled with quite a bit of forced bonding exposition to Supergirl, she feels more like a mouthpiece in this than a fully fledged individual. (An odd subplot about child trafficking also just hangs there for no real depth.)

Consequently, Supergirl feels like it lacks some of the emotional resonance it needs in an at times uneven movie that never quite allows its deep themes to rise to the top and trust its audience with them.

As a result, it's not quite as Super as it could be, but deserves to be applauded for trying something different and for Alcock's superlative performance.

Avatar: Fire and Ash: Disney+ Movie Review

Cast: Sam Worthington, Zoe Saldana, Oona Chaplin, Sigourney Weaver, Jemaine Clement, Stephen Lang, Edie Falco, Kate Winslet, Cliff Curtis, Jack Champion
Director: James Cameron

The third Avatar outing plunges us back into the world of the Sullys and the Na'Vi, but outside of a couple of new elements, it feels like creatively and narratively it's dragging its heels.

 

Plus, with endless confrontations that are never fully resolved, it can't help but seem like the Harry Potter series, which would introduce elements but also end up with a confrontation with Lord Voldemort before he escaped.

This time around, as Jake and Neytiri lick their wounds from the loss of their son, the family unit that was once strong is now creaking under the weight of grief. Added to that, the fact that human Spider (Champion, one of the purveyor of some of the worst dialogue in the film) is struggling to breathe and live in a mask, the Sullys decide it's time for Spider to go back to the humans.

However, when Quaritch (Lang, the film franchise's antagonist and Sully nemesis) targets them, they find themselves attacked by the Ash people, led by a truly menacing Varang (Chaplin, easily the film's MVP - for the first two-thirds, anyway). With time running out and some impossible choices to make, the Sully clan must fight for their lives, as well as Pandora's future.

The somewhat bloated three and a quarter hour run-time does little to help Avatar: Fire and Ash, with large swathes of the opening sequences once again revelling in the idea of what the technology can afford the franchise. But while it's technically adept as creatures swoop and soar through the air, it's narratively redundant and largely pointless.

It's a repetition of what went before and becomes endemic of the film's creatively stifled edges, and Cameron and his team's need to fall back on action that feels like it's the second part of Avatar: The Way of Water.

In an expansion of the world, the film's CGI, one trippy sequence aside, feels as solid as it did - and is in no sign of creaking.  But add to that the fact that the final battle is more or less a retread of Avatar: The Way Of Water and it becomes clear that Cameron's creative sauce may be spread a little thin for a franchise to keep going.

Far more successful - initially anyway - is the introduction of the ferocious Ash people, easily the series' most interesting nemeses. Led by Chaplin's slinky and menacing Varang, these mix of Na'vi and Slenderman looking hostiles pose the most intriguing debate about colonisation as they revel in the fire power that's afforded them. There's a real sense of a civilisation corrupted by first contact here but intoxicated by the possibilities that affords them.

It's too bad though that Cameron largely shoves them to the side once Quaritch becomes part of their story and while there are hints that there's more to come from them, it feels like their potential is squandered in the final wash.

Avatar: Fire and Ash can't help but keep up its pro-ecological message (something which is to be definitely applauded) and its use of echoes of The Cove are chillingly played out. (And there's a cheeky Aliens reference from an original character too). But that it ends in a hail of bullets and nature fighting back is no real surprise - after all, that's what happened in the previous film.

You can't help but wonder what Cameron's endgame is for the Avatar series - after three films, albeit technically dazzling, the narrative still feels distinctly hollow and the conclusion weak and unformed. Cameron himself has hinted a fourth film is no certain thing - but while he lays the blame at the movie market itself, it's probably time for him to step back and reassess what exactly is the roadmap for Avatar.

Because its repetition and weak story-telling is really what will sink this franchise in its own fire and ash unless there's a very quick course correction.

Bubsy 4D: PS5 Review

Developed by Fabraz
Published by Fabraz
Platform: PS5

Solid platformers are few and far in between these days for gamers.

Whether it's multiplayer titles or shooters, or story-driven adventure games, the genre's been a touch sidelined during the past few years - where are the likes of Rayman or Crash Bandicoot for this latest generation of consoles?

But that all ends with Bubsy 4D, a title that plays up to the legacy of its bobcat hero, and even makes a valid case for the return of the platform game.

In terms of story, Bubsy 4D wastes no time getting down to matters, making meta jokes about the franchise's past and sending him off with pals to rescue kidnapped sheep.

As you head off to rescue them, the game gives you a tutorial in how to leap, chain jumps together and basically leap around various levels. There's a simple energy to Bubsy's movements and it's one which takes a little time to grasp, but when it does, it flows.

Although you're likely to come away with some Sonic the Hedgehog parallels due to the character's need to dash and roll, Bubsy's movement feels like his own and its fluidity is obvious from the start.

The game's brevity may be a stumbling block for some, but for a family game that serves as a nice stepping stone into the genre, it's a sweetly ambitious and fun title to chill with.

Bang My Box: The Robin Byrd Story (July 1)

The HBO Original documentary Bang My Box: The Robin Byrd Story, directed and produced by Jyllian Gunther and Stephanie Schwam (Max Original Swiping America) and produced by Sarah Jessica Parker’s Pretty Matches Productions, debuts Wednesday, 1 July, only on HBO Max. 

Before the internet and the ubiquity of social media influencers, there was Robin Byrd – the spirited, anything-goes New York City public access host, clad only in her signature black crochet bikini. From 1977 to 1998, Robin created, produced and hosted the late-night call-in show that incorporated performances and interviews with adult entertainers and experimental artists. Each show ended with a bawdy song and dance, turning her unapologetic, eponymous show into a national platform for sex-positivity and free speech.

Approaching her 70th birthday, Robin confronts her place in history and faces the decision to hand over a lifetime of memorabilia to archivists, while also tenderly caring for Shelly, her husband of 50 years. With a wealth of archival and intimate interviews, the film reflects on Robin’s career and tracks her current life in New York City, as well as Fire Island where she has been a beloved resident for decades.
