"Actor: Billy Idol"

• The Damned: Don't You Wish That We Were Dead | Blu Ray | (29/05/2017) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £N/A

  From Lemmy filmmaker Wes Orshoski comes the story of the long-ignored pioneers of punk: The Damned. The long-ignored pioneers of punk, The Damned started out as trailblazers on London's 70s punk rock scene, being the first British punk band to release a single, the immortal New Rose in 1976. They were the first of their band's genre to release an album, and the first to tour the United States, performing to sell out crowds, where they left a lasting musical legacy. However the critical adoration lavished on contemporaries like The Clash and Sex Pistols always eluded them. Shot around the globe over three years, the film charts the band's complex history and infighting. It captures the band on a world tour and follows its estranged former members striking out on their own anniversary tour. With contributions from Chrissie Hynde, Mick Jones (The Clash), Lemmy and members of Pink Floyd, Black Flag, Guns 'N' Roses, the Sex Pistols, Blondie and The Buzzcocks.

• The Doors - Special Edition | DVD | (17/02/2003) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £19.99

  The Doors is Oliver Stone's epic, typically portentous homage to the band that soundtracked his youth. As is generally the case with Stone's films, its scope is impressively wide. He places The Doors at the eye of a 1960s cultural and political maelstrom through which passes Andy Warhol, Martin Luther King Jr and Robert Kennedy among others. But the details and dialogue often jar badly: the scenes in which various gilded youths imbibe the young Jim Morrison's early efforts at lyrics as if they were anything beyond dreadful sophomoric doggerel are a particular strain on the credulity. The film's central conceit--that Morrison's body was somehow inhabited at an early age by the spirit of a Navajo medicine man--makes the deranged conspiracies of JFK seem plausible by comparison. The Doors is redeemed by Stone's ability with ambitious set-pieces (the concert scenes are terrific) and a tremendous performance from Val Kilmer, who plays Jim Morrison as a pompous, self-regarding oaf who treats bandmates, friends and women appallingly. While this may well have been the case it is debatable whether Stone intended to show his hero in such an unflattering light: the closing scenes in Pere Lachaise cemetery, which linger over the graves of Wilde, Molière and Flaubert before arriving at Morrison's witlessly vandalised plot, certainly suggest a belief on Stone's part that the author of the ridiculous "American Prayer" has earned a place in the literary pantheon. This film fails to make a convincing case for that but, like Morrison's own work, is a compelling, cautionary illustration of what a supremely ordinary singer and songwriter is allowed to get away with if he looks good in leather trousers. On the DVD: The Doors Special Edition has the benefit of a bewildering array of special features, though many are less impressive than their billing: the "Behind the Scenes" documentary is eight minutes of apparently random footage of the film being made, and the making-of documentary isn't much more illuminating. The interviews with the cast are also on the desultory side. There is a conventional scene selector and another that allows the viewer to choose from the songs that appear in the soundtrack. There are also several sound options and subtitles. Most useful of all is the illuminating and engaging running commentary by Oliver Stone. --Andrew Mueller

• VH-1 Storytellers - Billy Idol | DVD | (29/07/2002) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £14.99

  VH-1's Storytellers series has brought a number of stars back into the limelight and, nine years since his last album, Billy Idol was ready for the re-focus. His music and image were always the perfect synthesis of 1950s rock & roll and 70s punk, giving his songs an enduring appeal. Here he takes a number or two to get going, but from "Flesh for Fantasy" onwards, this is a greatest hits package high on entertainment and musicianship. Steve Stevens, whose gritty yet intricate guitar gave the first three Idol albums their edge, is on hand, as is a backing-band which catches the mood of each song unerringly. Highlights include stripped-down versions of "White Wedding" and "Rebel Yell", an electro-acoustic rethink of the soulful "Eyes Without a Face"--a candidate for the perfect pop song?--and a sprinkling of songs by Generation X who, along with The Buzzcocks, were always the Pop Punk band of choice. Idol introduces several of the songs with street-wise bonhomie. The sneer may have lessened over time, but the attitude hasn't faded. On the DVD: Storytellers--Billy Idol on disc has a 4:3 picture format that captures the relaxed atmosphere, with Dolby Digital 5.1, 2.0 and DTS surround sound options. Thirty-two access points enable you to select the music without the chat, with subtitles in five European languages. The artist profile is brief but to the point and reproductions of album covers liven up the discography. Questions from the audience--a frequent Storytellers slot--are excluded, but it's a small omission. --Richard Whitehouse

• Billy Idol - No Religion Live | DVD | (26/03/2012) from £21.99   |  Saving you £-15.00 (N/A%)   |  RRP £6.99

  English Rock musician Billy Idol first achieved fame in the Punk Rock era as a member of the band Generation X. He then embarked on a successful solo career aided by a series of stylish music videos making him one of the first MTV stars. Idol continues to tour - often with guitarist Steve Stevens. A dynamic performer and showman he has a worldwide fan base. To promote the release of his Cyberpunk album Idol embarked on the 1993 No Religion Tour. The title of the tour came from a lyric in the album's first track Wasteland which described a man travelling through a dystopia. In keeping with the album's theme the performance stages were set to a computerized high-tech aesthetic. Idol wished to use Blendo imagery on massive television screens behind the stage to rapidly shift in time with the music. Containing many of his anthems the end result is definitely both musically and visually much more interesting than most Live music DVDs. Track Listing: 01. White Wedding 02. Shock To The System 03. Eyes Without A Face 04. Pumping On Steel 05. Adam In Chains 06. Heroin 07. Rebel Yell 08. Mony Mony 09. King Rocker 10. Your Generation

• The Wedding Singer | UMD | (26/09/2005) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £17.99

  Don't just think of The Wedding Singer as an Adam Sandler comedy--though it most certainly is that. But also think of it as the tip of the wave of the 1980s nostalgia craze. Set in the post-disco, new wave era, the film tells the story of Robbie Hart (Sandler), the king of small-town wedding-band singers, who once dreamt of being a rock star. His contentment with life shatters when his fiancée stands him up at the altar. After wallowing in self-pity (by musically attacking the next wedding couple he serenades) and swearing off women, he helps a new friend, Julia (Drew Barrymore), get ready for her impending nuptials--only to find himself falling in love with her. If you're a Sandler fan, you'll enjoy him as an actual adult, though a wise-cracking one. And dig all those kooky 80s reference jokes and that greatest-hits-of-early-MTV soundtrack. --Marshall Fine
