dvd & blu-ray reviews:
Mufasa: The Lion King (PG)
A sequel to the already bad The Lion King - photorealistic version.
Moana 2 (PG)
A disappointing sequel to what was an enjoyable original.
Conclave (12)
Ralph Fiennes is superb in the drama focusing on the election of a new Pope.
We Live in Time (15)
Florence Pugh and Andrew Garfield star in this limp and soggy drama.
Venom: The Last Dance (15)
Tom Hardy's third Venom flick and it's the weakest of them all.
Smile 2 (18)
A poor sequel that won't be truning any frowns upside down.
Juror No. 2 (12)
A disappointing courtroom drama from legend Clint Eastwood.
In a Year of 13 Moons (18)
Rainer Werner Fassbinder's classic comes to Blu-ray.
game reviews:
Copycat [PS5, Xbox Series X/S, PC]
A narrative driven 'game' that's sadly a bit of a dog's dinner.
Assassin's Creed: Shadows [PS5, Xbox Series X/S, PC]
A stonking new chapter in the Assassin's Creed franchise set in feudal Japan.
Sniper Elite: Resistance [Xbox X/S, PS5/4, PC]
Time to whip out that sniper rifle once again and take out some Nazis!

Indy returns for yet another globe-trotting adventure. But is it any good?
Mario & Luigi: Brothership [Switch]
The Italian bros get their RPG on once again.
film reviews:

Too much clowning around means this horror flick is as scary as a rainbow.
Mountainhead (15)
A group of billionaire tech gurus find the fate of the world is soon in their hands in this biting satire.
The Ballad of Wallis Island (12A)
A bittersweet British comedy about a folk group reuniting on a remote island.
Fountain of Youth (12A)
John Krasinski and Natalie Portman star in Guy Ritchie's Raiders of the Lost Ark rip-off.

After a lengthy break, the Final Destination franchise comes back out to play.
music reviews:
Tall Tales by Mark Pritchard and Thom Yorke
Another side project for Radiohead front man Thom Yorke that's a journey into electronica.
Who Let the Dogs Out by Lambrini Girls
A striking debut from this Brighton-based duo that doesn't hold back.
Moon Music by Coldplay
An abysmal collection of noise from the wettest band on the planet.
Wall of Eyes by The Smile
Second album for the Radiohead spin-off group.
For That Beautiful Feeling by The Chemical Brothers
The Bros chemical are back with their tenth studio album.
book reviews:
We Solve Murders by Richard Osman
The king of quizzes is back with a new globetrotting series of murders that need solving.
Scoops by Sam McAlister
A fascinating account of behind the scenes of some high profile TV interviews.
Before and Laughter by Jimmy Carr
Part autobiography, part self-help book, it's a curious mix that doesn't quite work.
Coal Black Mornings by Brett Anderson
Suede's front man beautifully recalls his life leading up to Britpop-dom.
