A hen party go abroad and get what they deserve quite frankly.

game reviews:
Marvel Vs. Capcom Fighting Collection: Arcade Classics [Ps5/4, Xbox X/S, Switch, PC]
Marvel! Capcom! FIghhhhhttt!!!!!

Another anime title makes the jump to gaming, but is it any good?
Spy X Anya: Operation Memories [PS5, PS4, Switch, PC]
Although based on a popular anime, all there is here is a bunch of minigames.
Dungeons of Hinterberg [Xbox Series X/S, PC]
A thoroughly enjoyable action RPG that will keep you going back for more.
Moonstone Island [Switch, PC]
A so-called cosy game that definitely bites more than it can chew.

Salem's Lot (15)
This adaptation of Stephen King's classic is an atmospheric horror show.

Mel Brooks' classic is back on the big screen, celebrating its 50th anniversary.
Apartment 7A (15)
This prequel to the classic Rosemary's Baby sadly isn't worth a visit.

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.
Parsnips, Buttered by Joe Lycett
How to complain with style and panache.
