A pure-gold Savant favorite, Sir Richard Attenborough's first feature as director is a stylized pacifist epic of the insane tragedy of WW1, told through contemporary songs, with the irreverent lyrics given them by the soldiers themselves. And one will not want to miss a young Maggie Smith's music hall performance -- luring young conscripts to doom in the trenches. It's the strangest pacifist film ever, done in high style. Oh! What a Lovely War DVD The Warner Archive Collection 1969 / Color / 2:35 enhanced widescreen / 144 min. / Street Date September 22, 2015 / available through the WBshop / 16.99 Starring: Too many to name, see below.

Almost a week after its long-awaited release, Evolution Studios’ PlayStation 4 exclusive DriveClub is still encountering problems.
The studio’s über-realistic racing title launched headfirst into an array of server-related issues, which prompted the developing team to establish a one-in, one-out matchmaking policy in order to ease traffic across the board — a scheme that has postponed the PlayStation Plus Edition of the game indefinitely.
Taking to Twitter, DriveClub’s lead director, Paul Rustchynsky, offered his solidarity to budding racers, stating that Evolution had no way of foreseeing the ongoing issues.
@Rushy33 Hi Paul, is there going to be any form of compensation offered to early adopters of DriveClub? You know; like Dlc or whatever?

While complimentary content is a nice gesture on the studio’s part, fixing the in-game servers very much remains a priority for Evolution at this stage. The latest DriveClub update was released on Friday,...

Okay, so this is cool. A little proggy, a little metalish, and a pinch of 4-on-floor rock. The London-based via New Zealand quartet I Am Giant performing "Transmission" from their sophomore album Science & Survival, co-produced by Forrester Saville (Karnivool, Dead Letter Circus, Helmut), bassist Paul Matthews and drummer Shelton Woolright, is a righteous way to start your weekend. Rawk on, dudes!

Many happy returns to Sandra Bullock, who celebrates her 50th birthday today!
The one-time action movie sidekick and Hollywood's favourite funny girl, Bullock has gradually refashioned herself as a bona fide A-lister thanks to her Oscar-winning turn in The Blind Side and last year's box office smash Gravity.
With such an eclectic back catalogue it's hard to single out any one movie. With that in mind, Digital Spy opened up the floor to staff to pose one simple question: What's your favourite Sandra Bullock movie? Here are the results...
Emma Dibdin, Features Editor - The Net
In the interest of full disclosure, I will say that it's been a good ten years since I last watched The Net. Viewing it now, in the cold light of the 21st century, it has not dated well. But aside from being hugely entertaining with a plot that falls just the right side of ludicrous,...

A new campaign for Victoria’s regional train operator attempts to guilt trip city-dwellers into catching up with their friends and family in the country.
The campaign for V/Line, created by McCann and Mrm, includes press, radio, outdoor, online and Dm, that will enable users to send a personalised guilt trip message to friends via the website vline.com.au/guilttrips or buy a ticket for a city friend.
Paul Matthews, Gm of marketing and stakeholder relations at V/Line, said: “Growing the ‘visiting family & friends’ segment is a key focus for V/Line. This market provides a huge boost to regional economies and is an important part of the Victorian State Government’s regional strategy. As every country person knows, it’s not always easy to get their friends and family in city to come and visit. A well-laid Guilt Trip is a great way of getting your...

A giant frog with delusions of grandeur? Nope, you haven't stumbled upon an episode of Dangermouse in which our hero's arch enemy - and dead ringer for Ann Widdecombe - Baron Greenback is plotting revenge, but in fact an episode of Doctor Who called Four To Doomsday.
Sounds crazy? Well, you'd be right. But then only in the previous season, we had a talking cactus with designs on the world, so the term "silly" is neither here nor there. Even so, Four To Doomsday requires an awful lot of tolerance on the viewer's part when it comes to dramatic credibility.
Maybe the common link here is Terence Dudley, who, after directing 1980's Meglos, switched his hat to writing. It has to be said though that his contributions to Doctor Who can charitably be described as eccentric. Four To Doomsday gives the impression of a writer who hasn't seen Doctor Who much.

Big Finish announced today details of the upcoming three-story season of Fifth Doctor stories, featuring Peter Davison as the Doctor, Sarah Sutton as Nyssa, Janet Fielding as Tegan and Mark Strickson as Turlough, the first time this Tardis team had acted together since 1983.
According to executive producer Nicholas Briggs, "The three stories were recorded just after Christmas, and everyone was on brilliant form. It was quite thrilling to hear [the cast] recreating their roles so authentically. These adventures sound just like they've fallen through a time warp!"
He aded: “The mood during the recording was quite rambunctious and everyone had such a brilliant time that I wouldn’t be surprised to see this team reunited again some time in the near future…”
The series will debut in July, and the first story released will be Cobwebs by Jonathan Morris. The story guest-stars Helen Griffin (Mrs. Moore in "Rise of the Cybermen"), Raymond Coulthard...
