dvd & blu-ray reviews:

boom reviews - the garfield movie
The Garfield Movie (U)

It's a film about a fat, lazy cat, what's there not to love?!

Something in the Water (15)

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

Fast Charlie (15)

Pierve Brosnan stars as a hit man in the Deep South.

Ryan Gosling and Emily Blunt star in this terrific action rom-com.

game reviews:

boom reviews - senua's saga hellblade2
Marvel Vs. Capcom Fighting Collection: Arcade Classics [Ps5/4, Xbox X/S, Switch, PC]

Marvel! Capcom! FIghhhhhttt!!!!!

That Time i Got Reincarnated as a Slime [PS5/4, Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, PC]

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.

film reviews:

boom reviews salem's lot
Salem's Lot (15)

This adaptation of Stephen King's classic is an atmospheric horror show.

Gladiator (15)

Another chance to witness the majesty of Ridley Scott's epic, 24 years on.

Young Frankenstein (PG)

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.

This Prime Original fuses horror with cooking with the result on the bland side.

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.

Parsnips, Buttered by Joe Lycett

How to complain with style and panache.
