Now you can drive a revolutionary chrome molybdenum steel wonder while telling everyone you’re in it for the environment. Purchasing a spectacular sports car is the very least you could do. You’re welcome, nature.

The Överflöd Imorgon, available now from Legendary Motorsport.

WORSHIP THE CONE

Is it art? Is it fashion? Why can't it be both? As part of The Diamond Casino Heist update, players who own the esteemed Yellow Dog with Cone Statue can get early access to wares from the hottest and most enigmatic new brand around, including two Yellow Dog with Cone T-shirts, a chain and a pair of slip-on loafers.

DOUBLED REWARDS

Picture this: the Maze Bank Arena is strewn with abstract shapes bent out of hot, contorted metal. You rev your vehicle's overpowered engines and the smell of gasoline singes your nostrils. The good news is that players can earn Double Rewards on the entire Arena War Series, including high-octane modes like Carnage, Flag War, Hot Bomb and Bomb Ball. The bad news is your nostrils might be irreparably damaged.

Elsewhere, players can earn 2X GTA$ & RP by playing Resurrection, the Adversary Mode that allows you to revive your own fallen teammates by killing one of your enemies. That means you can only win by wiping the other team out, exterminating them before they have a chance to claw their way back into the world of the living. 

Otherwise, you can earn Doubled Payouts on all Contact Missions this week, either by answering the texts in your iFruit inbox or by booting them from the Jobs page located in the Online Menu.

Joker: Blu Ray Review

Joker: Blu Ray Review

Intense, haunting, disturbing, unsettling, uncomfortable, uncompromising, deeply indebted to Martin Scorsese's Taxi Driver and King of Comedy, Hangover director Todd Phillips' take on Joker is nothing without Joaquin Phoenix's Arthur Fleck.

An alienated clown who's trying to get by in a struggling Gotham that's grappling with a descent into garbage strikes and class divides, Fleck is hanging on by the skin of his teeth, scrabbling from day-to-day with a world he's growing ever-more distant from and from humanity on every level.

Fleck's grip on reality is further tested by his relationship with his ailing mother (Conroy) - though there's some light in the form of a neighbour (Deadpool's Beetz) and in local talkshow host Murray Franklin (De Niro riffing on his own Murray Pupkin), both offering Fleck a connection to life and a future.

But as the class war and societal concerns strike, Fleck finds himself at a personal profound crossroads...

Joker is less a comic book film, more an intensely choreographed dance into madness and destruction, that forces you into sympathies for the devil.

Central to the maelstrom is an emaciated Phoenix, his whole frame racked by the condition that forces him to laugh when it's less than ideal, and whose laughs teeter dangerously close to sobs of desperation. Lithe, lissom and genuinely haunting, the incendiary Phoenix owns the screen from the moment the film starts to the time it ends.

While there are nods to the wider universe, Joker is less about the clown prince, more a damning indictment of a man falling apart with parallels to the politically uncertain times we currently live in.

It's here that Phillips and Phoenix team up to make something that's an unravelling in our narcissistic times, a dangerous mirror to edges of our society that may galvanise some more than it should or ought to. There are plenty of scenes of Phoenix's Fleck struggling - be it up endless flights of stairs, or sitting in empty rooms, Phillips doesn't scrimp on the visual imagery.

It's not all perfect - some of the supporting characters feel underused in the extreme slow burn of Phoenix's spotlight; much of the feel of the film is ripped from Scorsese's grimy playbook and there are questions over the mental health portrayal within.

But Joker is visceral and uncomfortable in the way cinema can get under your skin; this character study is one of the year's compelling best, a sickening portrait that's unsettling and unnerving.

Ugly Dolls: DVD Review

Ugly Dolls: DVD Review

Determined to push its message more than commit to a decent story and narrative, musical UglyDolls' tale is fairly thin on the ground, but entertaining enough for the kids.

Committed more to colourful than coherence, UglyDolls is the story of Kelly Clarkson's Moxie, a misshapen plush toy who's part of Uglyville, a collection of rejected toys that don't meet the perfection mark.

Dreaming that every day will be the day that she's selected to become a kid's toy, along with a ragtag bunch of fellow Uglies, Moxie finds a way through into the Institute of Perfection, run by Nick Jonas' Lou.

A clash brews between the two as Lou plots to rid the world of Uglyville...

Ugly Dolls exists solely to sell plushies and soundtracks.

That's certainly the feeling in the opening moments of the piece as the first of copious songs is belted out by Clarkson's Moxie, and it rarely lets up as it pushes its anti-quest for perfection tale.

Granted, the message of loving your imperfections and embracing them is a truly valid and important one at an early age, but UglyDolls fails to do much else.

Gags are relatively flat, and while the younger end of the audience may well be bewitched by the colourful characters and ultimately be more receptive to the message, the older end may well feel the 90 minute run time is still a struggle.

UglyDolls may be fluffy on the outside, but dig deeper and this plush tale of animation lacks much else - except a desire to merchandise imperfections.
