latest film, dvd, blu-ray, game, music & book reviews
dvd & blu-ray reviews:
A Quiet Place: Day One (16)
The final entry in the trilogy and there's not a great deal to shout about this prequel.
The Bikeriders (15)
This drama may star Tom Hardy and Austin Butler, but Jodie Comer is the real star.
Bad Boys: Ride or Die (15)
Will Smith's first film back after that slap, and it's very safe ground.
The Hitcher (15)
Rutger Hauer's classic thriller gets a 4K restoration, although not a very good one.
About Dry Grasse (15)
A quietly intense Turkish drama set in a rural village.
game reviews:
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:
Gilda (PG)
This classic film noir gets a welcome re-release as Rita Hayworth shines once more.
Don't Move (18)
A Netflix thriller that doesn't quite travel in the right direction.
Canary Black (15)
Kate Beckinsale stars in this unoriginal action flick.
Halloween (15)
Still as scary this Halloween as it's ever been.
A Nightmare on Elm Street (15)
Freddy is back on the big screen celebrating his 40th anniversary.
music reviews:
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.
Cracker Island by Gorilliaz
Damon Albarn's animated side project return, but is it a cracker?
Not Your Muse by Celeste
A stunning debut by the already award-winning British singer.
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.
