OF GODS AND MONSTERS! 'PROMETHEUS' ARRIVES ON DVD AND BLU-RAY

Life and death, science and destruction: key elements in Ridley Scott's epic return to the ALIEN universe in PROMETHEUS. Images: FOX.

"We were so wrong...."

Dr. Elizabeth Shaw's shocked and frightened words have never been more chillingly prescient than in the trailer for PROMETHEUS, which soon launched us, or should that be lunged us, into Ridley Scott's hugely enjoyable return to the dark and dramatic sci-fi universes of wonder and terror he first created in the original, and still stomach-churning (and stomach busting!) ALIEN back in 1979 (based on characters and a screenplay by Dan O'Bannon and Ronald Shusett), following hot on the heels of STAR WARS success two years earlier.

Humanity comes looking for its creators. Bad idea...

Attempting to take the ALIEN franchise in a whole new and equally ambitious direction of storytelling, Scott's 2012 unveiled PROMETHEUS, almost like the film-makers own version of STAR TREK in some respects, what with its grandiose concepts of alien Gods, Humanity and our place in the universe, but mixed together with lots more atmosphere, dread and violence, is an intriguing Prequel to the world acclaimed Xenomorph saga, which sees the aforementioned scientist Shaw (in a nicely judged and played performance from Noomi Rapace that manages to be heroic yet different from Sigourney Weaver's previous, iconic Ripley) and her partner Charlie Holloway (Logan Marshall-Green) embarking on a top secret scientific quest alongside the Weyland Yutani corporation ("Building Better Worlds" being their key motto!), in the search for a mythical race of other worldly "engineers" located in a far-off system, who may have the key to the development, and preservation, of life on Earth from its influence on the planet millennia ago. But once arrived on the storm shrouded, atmosphere hostile world of LV-223, the crew of the Prometheus discovers a scenario totally at odds with their original thesis, at first both beguiling and incredible, which soon turns everything mankind ever knew about its genesis on it head and sends our heroes into a fight for their lives of which they are totally unprepared, alongside a bigger and far more ominous threat to humanity's very existence, as the very nature of existence is sent head over heels with a shocking discovery, and a powerful biological weapon which has been inadvertently unleashed that, even in its early stages, has the potential to break boundaries and annihilate worlds...

Terror awaits Dr. Elizabeth Shaw (Noomi Rapace)

A critical and audience success, PROMETHEUS got this years worldwide summer box office clash of the titans to a strong and satisfyingly adult start, away from the equally enjoyable, more family fare and superheroism of THE AVENGERS. Scott indeed brings freshness to a tired saga, gives us several moments of genuine, and much talked about horror, then teasingly introduces and develops concepts from the 1979 ALIEN film that we've always wanted to know more about and which hadn't and should have been explored previously. There's harkening back to that classic film in other clever ways, of which this prequel has a lot more of the originals DNA than Ridley Scott at first said it had (He's such a good liar!). Only at the end, he says? My foot! This is very much an ALIEN film, right down to the amazing nightmare visuals based on Swiss artistic genius H.R. Giger, the crowd pleasing entrance of one of the iconic "Space Jockeys" and a very satisfying and promising last scene that bodes well for the future (and potential sequels). Intriguingly, PROMETHEUS is also a flip side to ALIEN. Wheras the original was mostly in darkness, the white lights and technology of the starship Prometheus shine brightly in a clinical but still scary way in contrast to the earlier working ship turned slaughterhouse horrors of the Nostromo. And whilst the original had very little incidental music from Jerry Goldsmith, this plays on the grand scale of the alien "engineers" and their galaxy traversing technology, with some fine work from Marc Streitenfeld.

Will curiosity kill the android? David (Michael Fassbender) discovers more about the alien species.

Main stars Rapace and Michael Fassbender (as the android creation of "The Company", David-a more malevolent version of STAR TREK: THE NEXT GENERATION's kindly Mister Data), are excellent throughout, and there's some other noteworthy performances from Guy Pearce, Idris Elba and Logan Marshall-Green. Other female lead Charlize Theron doesn't really have enough to do but looks lovely and adds some welcome bitchiness as the expedition boss and glacier personality ultimately afraid to take any risks-probably the most sensible person on the ship, actually!- Meredith Vickers.

Behind the mask: the iconic figures behind the original ALIEN-the Space Jockey- are revealed...

There's a few little bits of painfully obvious exposition here and there from screenwriters Jon Spaihts and LOST's Damon Lindelof that noticeably flop and definitely feel a bit clunky: such quirks should have been fixed somewhere down the production line, alongside one sequence of important revelations towards the end of the film that I also felt should have been re-interpreted and made bigger in scope, rather than left as an intimate conversation between a couple of characters: a scenario that was definitely the fault of Ridley Scott in this instance, and whom should have spotted it. In the end, however, the sheer talent on display and the exciting ending win out to make PROMETHEUS a notable and quality entry in modern sci-fi and movie making.

Never before seen deleted scenes, including more of the engineers, can be found on the DVD and Blu-ray release.

With no new STAR WARS live-action feature movies in the pipeline from George Lucas, and James Cameron's also anticipated AVATAR sequels a long way off, there's a dearth of truly exciting movie sci-fi out there, so I think we should all get behind Ridley Scott and 20th CENTURY FOX's bold re-imaginings for ALIEN and enjoy/support PROMETHEUS. There's a lot of potential to come with the now green-lighted second movie of his planned trilogy, intriguingly titled PARADISE (hopefully arriving by at least 2014), and if the next one can keep to the mostly high standards of this, or even go one step better, then we could all be very happy bunnies indeed!

Available on DVD, Blu-ray and 3D COLLECTORS EDITION Blu-ray combo packs from October 8th (with never before seen deleted scenes, and the latter release version having the most special features, including a special making of documentary), prepare to experience the awe and contemplate the unanswered questions raised by PROMETHEUS all over again...

KOOL TV REVIEW: 'DOCTOR WHO - THE AMBASSADORS OF DEATH' DVD

Martian menace? The Doctor (Jon Pertwee) must discover the truth in the new Classic DOCTOR WHO DVD release: The Ambassadors of Death. Images: BBC.

DOCTOR WHO: THE AMBASSADORS OF DEATH

Written by David Whitaker

Directed by Michael Ferguson

Starring Jon Pertwee as the Doctor and Caroline John as Liz Shaw

Now available on DVD from BBC CONSUMER PRODUCTS

Reviewed by Scott Weller

"I don't know what we brought down in Mars Probe Seven, but it certainly wasn't human"

The Doctor

There's traitors, gunfights, hijacks, and kidnapped aliens galore in this spirited and often thrilling third adventure for beaky nosed “light bulb” Jon Pertwee’s serious Time Lord incarnation, now trapped in exile on seventies Earth, in and encounter with The Ambassadors of Death, the latest highly entertaining release of the Classic DOCTOR WHO range from BBC CONSUMER PRODUCTS.

The mystery of Mars Probe 7 and it's astronauts returned to Earth after months far away on the infamous Red Planet soon prove the stuff of nightmares, with potential ramifications for an all-out interplanetary war, as the Doctor and his army comrades at UNIT face a deadly earthbound foe whom seemingly know their moves before they make them, manipulating events towards likely Armageddon. And as violence and skulduggery grow, just who can be trusted, as our heroes ponder the very possible likelihood that a hidden enemy might be at work within their own organisation!

Trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mg02eRHleEU

A solid and intriguing sci-fi plot with tense moments and good characters from David Whitaker, one of the very first script editors/genesis makers of the William Hartnell era, emerges from its heavily revised pre-production phase, courtesy of Script Editor Terrance Dicks and his buddy Malcolm Hulke. Some quite adult themes and violence in an epic, genre-crossing story of its time, make the most of the realism and scientific marvels of the modern space programme around them, linked to a complex British-based conspiracy involving an opportunist mercenary and a deranged and xenophobic former astronaut now general.

Amidst the warehouse fights, helicopter attacks and wandering aliens with the killer touch, there’s a wonderful romanticism to this particular story with its mix of science fiction and fact- the lovely idea, so far not to have happened in my lifetime but of which anything goes in DOCTOR WHO’s often skillful storytelling, that one day the UK would be a leading superpower in the exploration of space, celebrating the ambition and dedication of the men then landed on the Moon a year earlier, as the story effectively creates it’s own unique brand of realism, even down to the innovative for its time idea of having a news presenter character (played by Michael Wisher) talking to the camera, to us viewers, about what’s going on during a tense early part of the plot. Also, in an intriguing life is stranger than fiction moment of television history, one of these episodes would also transmission co-incide with the critical attempts being made in reality by NASA to rescue the space-stranded Apollo 13 mission!

The Doctor with early colour era companions Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart (Nicholas Courtney) and Liz Shaw (Caroline John).

In the role that made him a TV legend, Pertwee’s exiled to Earth incarnation of the Third Doctor starts to hit his stride by the near end of his premiere season, shouting at bureaucrats, and laudably showing his skills as a scientist and adventurous action hero, alongside a much underrated at the time companion in scientist Liz Shaw, played with believability by the much-missed Caroline John. John's realistic breath of fresh air portrayal of Liz proves a much better companion/foil to the Doctor when watched in today's modern era of WHO storytelling, with its overall better developed female roles, rather than back in 1970, when behind the scenes the actress/character was seen to stand out uncomfortably with the other more popular screamy companions that would bookend her one year stint on the series.

Alongside the out of this world combo, those alien menace fighting army lads at UNIT are also a much more serious and determined investigative/ fighting force during this superior part of the Pertwee era, with Brigadier Lethbridge-Stewart, as played by the late, great Nicholas Courtney, now emerging as one of the show’s true iconic figures, before his character changed to become an equally lovable, if not quite as effective, Colonel Blimp type. Ambassadors also witnesses the colour series introduction of faithful Sergeant Benton (cheery John Levene)- later a perfect companion to the Brigadier, and occasionally fun comedy foil in between shooting machine guns unsuccessfully at Daleks and Axons.

One of the frightening alien ambassadors of the title! 

Director Michael Ferguson makes fine use of the changing times of television film-making technology to give the story a touch of ambitious and gritty film quality action/adventure reminiscent of late sixties BOND (if on a lower budget than anything Broccoli and Saltzman would ever have been used to!), of which there’s a rawness to it that wouldn’t be out of place in some of the early SWEENEY’s, either, especially in it’s opening and closing episodes. Fists reach their intended impacts courtesy of the impressively staged for their time action sequence makers of HAVOC: a thrill providing stunt team worthily showing every penny of their screen time existence, including Derek Ware (look out for his excellent leap onto a helicopter!), Alan Chuntz, Roy Scammell and Terry Walsh.

One of the real Martians!

Regarded as one of the shows best directors of early colour WHO, Ferguson continues his ambitious work with clever angles and a spirited pace, plus some terrific episode cliffhangers (especially part two’s ominous “Right, cut it open!” finale). Most noticeable is the atmospheric and eerie way he film shoots the alien ambassadors in their outdoors scenes-a genius and scary idea where, with the sunlight behind them, you never see their faces under the astronaut suits until the finale episode. I also love the distinctive opening and ending stings that would become a part of WHO history, and the cliffhanger coming at ya titles-part of the charm of Pertwee’s experimental and exciting first season, and an idea of changing episode title/logo designs currently being paid tribute with similar experimentation by today’s WHO series era under the control of Steven Moffat. The early CSO work on this story is also of a very good standard alongside excellent filmed model shots from classic series effects veteran Ian Scoones.

The Doctor and friends in roadster Bessie, along with General Carrington (John Abineri).

Amongst the bangs and crashes, a fine cast adds weight to the adventure, including WHO stalwart John Abineri, who, with his mercenary army, brings menace and tangible occasional audience sadness to his role as deranged General Carrington. CROSSROADS veteran Ronald Allen is also fine as the British Space boss Ralph Cornish, but probably the best of the bunch, and making a lot out of a relatively thin role, is William Dysart, who impresses as the opportunistic and clever mercenary working with Carrington, Reegan. There’s a touch of the Connery Bond about him-sharp suitedly ruthless and edgy as he makes his own plans to manipulate the captured aliens.

Incidental music begins to make more of a mark on the series with the Pertwee era, and this tale has some of Dudley Simpson’s best music for early seventies WHO, no doubts about it, with the classic theme for UNIT making its debut, and a hauntingly melodic and mysteriously surreal theme for the alien ambassadors of the title as they are forced into doing Reegan’s dirty work.

The aliens often prove unstoppable.

As the story develops over seven episodes (part of a season where the stories were longer than usual so as to make the most of production budgets), Ambassadorsmanages to overall hold its duration, though there's a few plot holes and inconsistencies here and there if you look close enough (mostly due to the many script rewrites that occurred over a long period-it was originally commissioned as a story for the Patrick Troughton B/W era). Episode Five show a little bit of padding, but by the fast paced finale things are wrapped up pretty satisfactorily (notably with some more good UNIT action as the Brigadier gets stuck in with some hand to hand combat! Go Brig!).

Its original colour PAL masters wiped thirty plus years ago, of which only episode one escaped the purge, the colour restoration process to the surviving b/w film copies (courtesy of a colour Betamax tape from an American fan of the mid-seventies), has not been without difficulties. Until such time as WHO’s resident superfan Ian Levine can build a time machine (and I truly believe he has the resources to do it!) in order to go back and stop the stupid BBC executives of 1975 from junking the original colour PAL masters, these are the best quality colourized copies of the story we’re going to get with the current technology available to the dedicated Restoration Team, and they should be congratulated for their remarkable efforts both old and new with this release, especially noteworthy in sections of episodes five and seven. It’s a shame that there's no featurette tribute on the DVD about the Team’s long behind the scenes journey to complete the story, of which its previous official UK BBC VHS release had only been partially completed-a hybrid of colour and B/W.

In a lovely celebration of their careers on the show, the late Caroline John, Nicholas Courtney and guest star Peter Halliday contribute a warm and informative commentary, previously recorded for the eventual DVD release back in 2009. Their contributions pop up within in-depth themed talks from Terrance Dicks, Derek Ware, Roy Scammell and Derek Martin. It’s all well worth a listen.

Controlled by outside forces, the alien ambassadors are trapped on Earth.

Chris Chapman’s thirty minute documentary on the making of the serial concentrates on the story’s most successful elements: notably the quality visuals and stunt work, with contributions from Michael Ferguson and key members of the HAVOC team: Ware and Scammell. Later series Production Manager Margot Hayhoe and Terrance Dicks also add key contributions. The original next week’s new adventure trailer for the story is also given a fun colour restoration, there’s a nice stills gallery (with lots of rare B/W behind the scenes shots, though some classic episodic images seem to have gone AWOL and not made the selection), ever comprehensive production notes text (from walking WHO encyclopedia Martin Wiggins), and PDFs.

Wrapping things up, there’s the continuing featurette series of Tomorrow’s Timesfrom film-maker Marcus Hearn, hosted by Peter Purves, which looks back at the Pertwee era and how well received both the show and its star were at the time by audiences and critics, plus a colourful Coming Soon trailer for the next exciting Third Doctor invasion story, in a brand new Special Edition: The Claws of Axos.

Our UNIT heroes, with Derek Ware far right as a solider, communicate with the aliens.

For years a neglected, often forgotten story, The Ambassadors of Death is a truly under-rated little gem and easily one of the standouts of the Pertwee era, at a time when the show was starting a new life and a new colour Renaissance. Its great to see it fully restored and complete at last. So thanks BBC for the new essential purchase release: to mis-phrase a certain FERRERO ROCHER advert: “With these Ambassadors you are really spoiling us!”

KOOL TV RATING (overall story and extras): 4.5 out of 5

THE GAMES THEY PLAY... 'HOMELAND' SEASON TWO

Opposing forces: Claire Danes and Damian Lewis return for more dark drama in HOMELAND. Images: SHOWTIME.

At the end of its first stellar, critically acclaimed, award-winning season, the emotionally spiky but intuitively brilliant and determined heroine of HOMELAND, CIA agent Carrie Mathison (skillfully played by Claire Danes) was having a very bad time of things: her emotional/ sexual involvement and investigation into charismatic solider and former Iraqi prisoner of war Nicholas Brody (a powerfully complex Damian Lewis), a hot political figure on the rise within the upper echelons of American power, had now been revealed to her unhappy superiors, whilst her strong beliefs in his being a traitor to an America she's sworn her life to protect have now been deemed compromised, her once thought talents seemingly on the brink of self-destruction: her credibility as an agent blown ever wider after almost being killed in an unexpected terrorist explosion. As the walls of madness and frightening unpredictability were closing in around her, Carrie, in a closing tragic sequence never to be forgotten by viewers, had to face her personal, inner demons and a true edge of darkness as the frightening final moments of her former life seemingly disappeared with a shocking but necessary electro-convulsive shock therapy, so as to curb her aggressive and manic bipolar disorder.

A life not ordinary. Claire Danes as CIA agent Carrie Mathison.

Vote Brody! Soldier turned politician Nicholas Brody (Damian Lewis) has never been more dangerous.

Meanwhile, Brody, having critically removed Mathison from the picture, has no hang-ups and problems in his life now, despite his own failed attempt to detonate a bomb in Washington, as he continues his sworn pact of dedication to both Al-Qaeda and his extremist Muslim faith conversion, aided by equally dangerous helpers/conspirators behind the scenes in American society and inadvertently by the protective outer circle of his loving but often troubled family and friends, ready to forgive and forget any further quirky occasional character and emotional fallibility's that might show through his normally calm exterior (blaming such problems on the stresses and anxieties of his previous eight years of incarceration). Brody seems invincible now, with the luck of the devil on his side, as his hidden dark side agenda, against his once US military and political paymasters for the death of the young child to his terrorist cell leader/guru Abu Nazir (a chilling Navid Negahban), stays silently true to his personal convictions despite occasional doubts, whilst his terrorist brothers enjoy their key converts rise to power: his clean cut and heroic looks as the true all-American hero poster boy, whose path to the White House centre seat looks unstoppable...

In bed with power. Brody makes his presence felt in politics and with the CIA.

Fortunately, for us and the series (surely one of the best and most innovative American shows of recent years with its high quality, silently compulsive storytelling and fine acting), Carrie isn't a quitter and will surely be back in some shape or form to trail and discover Brody's plans. Recovering from her treatment, with the protection and support of her family around her, she may thinks she's lost her abilities and edge, feeling out of her depth in handling any job within the CIA, a place of which she was once so dedicated and loved being a part of, but a critical series of events emerging from Beirut will soon put her back on the right path, awakened for action and duty alongside her old friend and mentor Saul Berenson (Mandy Patinkin) and former lover turned antagonist superior, David Estes  (David Harewood). Whether an earlier and vital clue she discovered about Brody's conversion, which Carrie was on the brink of losing from her mind in last seasons finale, will return to her consciousness is an important plot element from series creators Alex Gansa and Howard Gordon that must surely and intriguingly be revealed soon, as the maelstrom drama of her emotionally charged, but also chilling, opposing forces reunion between her and Brody begins anew...

As a servant On Her Majesty's Secret Service, he's thankfully bid Never Say, Never Again to his world grabbing enemies, broke the bank of Casino Royale, bid From Russia with Love on more than one occasion to comely maidens, found and beaten his Quantum of Solace and had a brush of You Only Live Twice for a while. With a firm A View to a Kill on our sights for delivering rousing, audience pleasing entertainment, he's sometimes scared The Living Daylights out of us with his Licence to Kill, and had our martini's very defintiely shaken and stirred over the years. Now, beyond Crab Key and that first little business in Jamaica with Dr. No, James Bond celebrates his much deserved film icon status as the man who can Live and Let Die, involve himself in a little Octopussy from time to time and make a Moonraker glow, showing us the GoldenEye of top quality film-making, in an action franchise that's truly a Goldfinger. A place where Tomorrow Never Dies, The World is Not Enough, and where Diamonds are Forever rein immortal. As the heavens are about to make their Skyfall, today is the officially recognised Global James Bond Day for our not always a gentlemen super Spy Who Loved Me and you for fifty glorious years-a true era hopping icon For Your Eyes Only, with a reputation of which no Man with the Golden Gun can touch him, possessing genuine strikes-like-a- Thunderball box office appeal and certainly promising to Die Another Day...

Heroes behind the screen: Harry Saltzman and Albert R. Broccoli joined forces to get the rights to make James Bond films. And history was made... Image: EON/SONY.

Happy Birthday 007, and thank you Ian Fleming for starting it all that fateful day he set his fingers to the type writer keys to write "the ultimate spy novel" at his Goldeneye Jamaican retreat. To the six great actors- the one and only Sean Connery, George Lazenby, Roger Moore, Timothy Dalton, Pierce Brosnan and Daniel Craig- for bringing life, danger, sex appeal and energy to the globe trotting, bed hopping, danger-making British secret service man. And a further big toast and applause to the pioneering EON film empire of Harry Saltzman and Cubby Broccoli, and the saga's modern day custodians, Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson, for bringing us all worldwide so much pleasure and entertainment, and raising the quality bar for all storytelling and adventuresome heroes, beautiful independent women and ultra-mad baddies that have since followed in his barn storming tuxedoed wake...
