dvd & blu-ray reviews:
Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (PG)
The world's fastest hedgehog is back, in what is a fairly lame duck.
The Outfit (15)
Mark Rylance proves in this period drama why he's still a cut above the rest.
Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore (15)
With fewer beasts and less magic, this third in the series is seriously lacking.

As Dusk Falls [Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, PC]
An interesting cross-over between film and gaming that works well, for the most part.

A splendid retro outing for the cutesy Klonoa and the gang.

Suede's front man beautifully recalls his life leading up to Britpop-dom.
Parsnips, Buttered by Joe Lycett
How to complain with style and panache.
