Oasis sends fans ''Supersonic'' as long-awaited reunion tour starts in Cardiff
Oasis ended a 16-year hiatus with a punchy, powerful trip through one of Britpop's greatest songbooks, kicking off a reunion tour in Cardiff, Wales to a crowd ecstatic for the band's 1990s hits. And was there brotherly love between the famously feuding Gallagher siblings? Definitely maybe. Fans traveled to the Welsh capital from around the world for a show on Friday that many thought would never happen. Guitarist-songwriter Noel Gallagher and his singer brother Liam, the heart of Oasis, had not performed together since their acrimonious split in 2009. One fan banner summed it up: 'The great wait is over.' After a montage of headlines about the sparring siblings was capped with the words 'the guns have fallen silent,' Oasis appeared on stage to a deafening roar, opening with the apt Hello and its refrain of 'it's good to be back.' The brothers had a brief hand-in-hand moment but largely kept their distance onstage. Noel, 58, focused on his guitar while a parka-clad Liam, 52, snarled into the microphone with a swagger that has not dimmed in the 31 years since the band released its first album, 'Definitely Maybe.' A crowd of more than 60,000 in the Principality Stadium was treated to a well-paced two-hour set that drew heavily on the first album and its 1995 follow up, (What's the Story) Morning Glory, alongside a smattering of later tracks and fan-favourite B-sides. Song like Supersonic, Roll With It and Rock n' Roll Star sounded as thunderous as ever and sparked mass sing-alongs. 'Put your arms over each other like you love each other,' a tambourine-clutching Liam exhorted the crowd before launching into Cigarettes and Alcohol. There was poignancy on Live Forever when an image of Liverpool Football Club player Diogo Jota, who was killed in a car crash on Thursday, was projected above the band. Noel took his turn on lead vocals for several songs, including the touching Half the World Away, and the show ended with encores featuring some of Oasis' most enduring tracks: Don't Look Back in Anger, Wonderwall and Champagne Supernova. The brothers shared a half-hug as they ended the final song. Multi-coloured, sometimes faintly psychedelic projections formed the main technological accoutrement to a show where the focus was squarely on the songs. There was little banter, though Liam paused between songs to check the audience was having a good time. 'Was it worth the 40,000 pounds you paid for the ticket?' he quipped at one point, referring to the scramble for seats that saw some fans pay hundreds to see a show. From the roar of response, it was. The show in Cardiff kicked off a 19-date Live '25 tour in the UK and Ireland. Then come stops in North America, South America, Asia and Australia, ending in Sao Paulo on November 23. Before the show, the streets around the stadium filled with fans who gathered in groups to sing along to the band's hits and snapped up Oasis-branded bucket hats at 35 pounds (USD 48) each. 'It's very, very special — emotional," said 44-year old Rob Maule from Edinburgh, Scotland. "I'm here with three of my friends, childhood friends, and we used to see Oasis across the country. 'For us, it's a generational thing. It's a chapter of our lives," he said. "And then the second generation, as people are taking their kids. It's really special.' Vicki Moynehan came from Dorchester, in southwest England. She said her life has changed since she bought her ticket almost a year ago. 'Seven months pregnant — ain't gonna stop me,' she said. Founded in the working-class streets of Manchester, England, in 1991, Oasis was one of the dominant British acts of the 1990s, releasing eight UK No. 1 albums. The band's sound was fuelled by sing-along rock choruses and the combustible chemistry between guitarist-songwriter Noel Gallagher — a Beatles and glam rock-loving musician with a knack for memorable tunes — and younger brother Liam. ALSO READ:Noel Gallagher says he's quitting Oasis Then and since, the brothers have often traded barbs — onstage, in the studio and in interviews. Liam once called Noel 'tofu boy,' while Noel branded his brother 'the angriest man you'll ever meet. He's like a man with a fork in a world of soup.' After a backstage bustup at a concert in France in 2009, they long resisted pressure to reunite, even with the promise of a multimillion-dollar payday. Now they have agreed on a tour that sees hem joined by former Oasis members Paul Bonehead Arthurs and Gem Archer on guitar, bassist Andy Bell and drummer Joey Waronker. 'An absolute unbelievable blast.' The announcement of the U.K. tour in August sparked a ticket-buying frenzy, complete with error messages, hours long online queues, dashed hopes and anger at prices that surged at the last minute. The ticketing troubles sparked questions in U.K. Parliament, where Arts Minister Chris Bryant criticised 'practices that see fans of live events blindsided by price hikes.' Britain's competition regulator has since threatened Ticketmaster — which sold around 900,000 Oasis tickets — with legal action. No plans have been announced for Oasis to record any new music, and the tour is being presented as a one-off. Music writer John Aizlewood said that it's an opportunity for Oasis to 'tend the legacy' of the band, and remind people of the power of the Oasis brand. 'There should be a sense of huge joy and life affirmation about these shows. And I think if they can just play it right, then that can be a massive burnishing of their legacy,' he said. '(There is) this enduring love for Oasis — and love means money.' Fans were determined to enjoy the moment. 'I'm the oldest sibling of four brothers, so I know they'll fall out,' said Stephen Truscott, from Middlesbrough in northeast England. "(But) the first night, they're going to have an absolute unbelievable blast. It's going to be the best.'

Jurassic World Rebirth X reviews: Great VFX couldn't save the forgettable story; ‘decent at best'
Scarlett Johansson and Jonathan Bailey have been everywhere this year: on our feeds and in the news, as they embark on a social media-led press tour for their newest movie, Jurassic World Rebirth. While the strategic tour did give fans a viral kiss moment, the movie is finally in theatres, and fans are now shifting focus from press to product. Here's the verdict. A still from Jurassic World Rebirth Netizens love to hate the film Online reactions to Jurassic World Rebirth have been mixed, with many pointing out the film's visual highs and narrative lows.'#JurassicWorldRebirth didn't really do it for me. Despite great cinematography and a solid musical score, it can't overcome being a World movie and not a Park movie. It's boring, repetitive, and the same old stuff we have seen. And the family subplot is a massive oof. 6/10,' one X user wrote. Another added, '#JurassicWorldRebirth IS A LOT… of the same. Gareth Edwards brings the most STUNNING technical quality to this franchise with a story and characters just as thin as before. While it doesn't reach the lows of recent installments… it doesn't do nearly enough to separate itself.' One more commented, 'Jurassic World Rebirth review: a really forgettable Jurassic movie. They throw 2 plots together that don't really mesh well. The dino action is fine but nothing we haven't seen already. I appreciate the simplicity of the mission but it could've been executed better 5 out of 10.' And another critical voice said,'Man I really wanted to come out of #JurassicWorldRebirth loving it but that was not the case and I hate to say it. The actual good scenes in the movie were already shown in the commercials, terrible pacing bad jokes, original score was misused. Overall decent at best.' But for longtime fans of the series, it's not all bad news. Several fans embraced the film's nostalgic feel so if you love the world and just want to go see some dinosaurs run around on a big screen, this movie should be a part of your weekend plans. '#JurassicWorldRebirth was more or less what I expected. While having no real surprises, it was nice to go back to basics. It's essentially a better JP3. And as expected, Edwards delivers thoughtful set pieces. Liked the characters more than I thought I would too,' said one comment. Another enthusiastic review read, '#JurassicWorldRebirth is a cinematic resurrection. With jaw-dropping visuals, pulse-pounding suspense, and a deep respect for Spielberg's original, it roars back with prehistoric power. Gareth Edwards delivers awe, terror, and wonder in equal measure, reminding us why we fell in love with dinosaurs in the first place. This is the franchise reborn — and it's alive in every sense of the word.' About the movie The seventh instalment of the Jurassic Park franchise, Rebirth is a reset. With no returning characters and a standalone storyline, the film introduces a brand-new trio: Johansson as covert ops expert Zora Bennett, Bailey as idealistic palaeontologist Henry Loomis, and Mahershala Ali as sea captain Duncan Kincaid. Director Gareth Edwards (Godzilla, Rogue One) steps in, while David Koepp returns as screenwriter after penning the first two Jurassic Park films. Set after the events of Jurassic World Dominion (2022), dinosaurs have all but vanished, except for a few surviving species hidden on the Caribbean island of Île Saint Hubert. A biotech company dispatches a team to retrieve DNA samples, but their mission turns chaotic when they encounter not only wild prehistoric predators but also a dangerous new hybrid: the Distortus Rex.
