EIFF 2012: Leave It On The Track and Young Dudes

After the rather intense subject matter of THE IMPOSTER and KILLER JOE, the World Premiere of Benjamin Pascoe’s roller derby documentary LEAVE IT ON THE TRACK was a welcome change of mood.With enough shots of backsides to challenge MAGIC MIKE, the film focuses on the love-hate bond between the women on and off the track while constantly reminding us that this sport is sisterhood epitomised.There are a lot of laughs to be had in the lead-up to the championship bout between the undefeated Cherry Bombs and their competitors, The Hellcats, but you never truly appreciate or experience it the way the fans do, leaving it a little lacklustre. But this doesn’t stop it from being incredibly real, with the amount of broken bones and tears disturbingly tangible at times.As we are introduced to different members of the League, we are gently and concisely taught the rules of roller derby without ever getting confused and discovering the backgrounds and talents of these headstrong girls.

EA head says ‘Call Of Duty’ Xbox-exclusivity would be “tremendous” for ‘Battlefield’

EA CEO Andrew Wilson has shared that Call Of Duty becoming an Xbox-exclusive series would be a “tremendous opportunity” for EA’s Battlefield series.As Microsoft‘s acquisition of Activision Blizzard continues, the purchase has come under scrutiny over the possibility of Microsoft potentially making Call Of Duty an Xbox-exclusive. While Microsoft says it will continue to launch Call Of Duty on PlayStation, PlayStation CEO Jim Ryan has slammed Microsoft’s three-year offer as “inadequate on many levels.” Speaking at last week’s Communacopia + Technology conference (via Gamespot), Wilson addressed the speculation surrounding Call Of Duty‘s future.“In a world where there may be questions over the future of Call Of Duty and what platforms that might be on or might not be on, being platform agnostic and completely cross-platform with Battlefield, I think is a tremendous opportunity,” reflected Wilson.However, Wilson also acknowledged that EA’s latest Battlefield releases haven’t lived up to players’ expectations. “I don’t think we delivered in the last two iterations of that in the way that we should have,” said Wilson.
