Lewisham-hailing rapper KidWild is back with a new video and it’s got all the hallmarks that made tracks like “Popular Loner”, “DND” and “Feeling A Way” so instantly likeable. “If I Told You (Lady)” dropped a couple of weeks ago and it’s just been given some visuals by director Blue Boredom.A sample from turn-of-the-millenium dance-pop hit “Lady (Hear Me Tonight)” by Modjo gives the track its backbone, which KidWild hops and skips over as he serenades the girl of his dreams. Between the recurring guitar lick sample and…

Everyone loved the attaché case from the original game and was very excited to see that it would return in the Resident Evil 4 remake. This case brings back the delicate balance of managing your inventory space between healing items, ammo, weapons, and other items that you want to bring with you. What’s new are the little keychains you can attach to your case called Charms. These are more than minor cosmetic flair, though, as each Charm has a unique buff that can help turn the tides in your favor. However, being…

OPPO released two book-style foldables thus far, the Find N and Find N2. The OPPO Find N3 is expected to launch later this year, and it may be larger than expected.The fact the OPPO Find N and Find N2 were so compact was a part of their charm.

I’ve reviewed both devices, and they do feel entirely different to use…

If you just can’t get Roy Orbison’s signature tune out of your head and you have a nostalgic sweet spot for the blockbuster 1990 movie, you too may find yourself inescapably drawn to “Pretty Woman: The Musical,” which plays through the weekend in San Jose and returns to San Francisco next month. Trust me, you may want to fight this urge. Now, I’m not suggesting that the iconic Julia Roberts star vehicle was a cinematic masterpiece a la Bergman but it had more than enough sass and charm to make up for what it may have…

By Jocelyn Noveck | Assocoiated Press Sequels, by nature, are more. Whatever the original had, just add more, the rule seems to be. Even more words in the title — how often is a sequel’s title shorter than the original? And so, exactly four years after the original DC superhero pic “Shazam!” surprised with its clever blend of innocence and silliness, and enough wit to blunt the inevitable ridiculousness of plot, we have “Shazam! Fury of the Gods.” It brings five times the title wordage, more action, more villains, more…

Now, at MWC 2023, I’ve had a chance to try both the software and the camera. The results are promising, but it’s not all great news.…

The lifesize wooden phallus.

Like so many young artists, film-maker Nira Burstein has taken the advice to write – or in this case, film – what she knows, so for her first feature she’s turned the camera on her own family, a troubled brood from the outer suburbs of New York City. Although Nira holds the camera herself for much of the time, she edits in home movie footage from many years ago which shows how dramatically time and stress have worn the family down.The Burstein patriarch Uri is definitely a character, either the film’s villain, comic…
