    Empire of Light (Disney+) Movie Review

    by Cas Harlow
    Empire of Light (Disney+) Movie Review
    Unfortunately getting lumped in and overlooked amidst a sea of somewhat self-servingly indulgent "ode to cinema" productions, this Olivia Colman-led psychological drama is charming, bittersweet and melancholy in its study of a troubled mind during a troubled time.

    Black Panther: Wakanda Forever 4K Blu-ray Review

    by Cas Harlow
    Black Panther: Wakanda Forever 4K Blu-ray Review
    Nailing a fitting farewell to Boseman, Wakanda Forever struggles in most every other respect, turning into almost 3 hours' worth of "I don't give a damn", in a 4K disc rendered largely pointless by a lack of Dolby Vision or IMAX enhancement and a release date after its Disney+ bow.

    What's new on UK streaming services for January 2023
    UPDATED 24-Dec-2022: Easing into a New Year after the all the indulgences of Christmas is never easy and for the main UK streaming services of Disney+, Amazon Prime Video UK and Apple TV+, getting the tone right between wowing subscribers straight out of the New Year’s Day gate and leaving a little off the plate to seductively tease releases for the forthcoming year will be a tricky balancing act. Have any of them got it right for Jan 2023?

    Avatar: The Way of Water (3D IMAX) Movie Review

    by Mark Costello
    Avatar: The Way of Water (3D IMAX) Movie Review
    So…. the only question anyone wants to know is “was it worth the wait?” And of course, it’s not…. but James Cameron provides us with a gorgeous reminder of why he is one of the best proponents of ‘epic cinema’ we’ve ever had.

    Amsterdam (Disney+) Movie Review

    by Tom Davies
    Amsterdam (Disney+) Movie Review
    David O. Russell's screwball noir makes it to Disney+ only a few short weeks after its embarrassing curtailed theatrical run. The presentation in Dolby Vision and Atmos is competent enough. It's just a shame the film is such irritating sludge.

    Willow (Disney+) Season 1 Premiere TV Show Review

    by Tom Davies
    Willow (Disney+) Season 1 Premiere TV Show Review
    Reviving everybody’s 5th favourite 1980s fantasy movie, Jonathan Kasdan makes a smart move by ditching all but the title character from the regular cast, eschewing nostalgia beats for a genuine attempt at a continuation of the story.

    The Guardians of the Galaxy: Holiday Special (Disney+) Movie Review

    by Cas Harlow
    The Guardians of the Galaxy: Holiday Special (Disney+) Movie Review
    Peppered with fun - and funny - moments and one glimpse of heartfelt emotion, Gunn's Holiday Special is still a desperately lightweight TV movie romp packed with two too many time-filling live music performances.

    Strange World Movie Review

    by Cas Harlow
    Strange World Movie Review
    Disney's Fantastic Voyage to the Centre of the Last Crusade is wondrously imaginative and a great little family flick, even if it'll go completely overlooked until it lands on Disney+ at Christmas.

    Disenchanted (Disney+) Movie Review

    by Cas Harlow
    Disenchanted (Disney+) Movie Review
    15 years after the charming Enchanted, Disney unravels a belated, bloated, bottom-heavy sequel which is well-meaning, family-friendly Friday night fodder, and a cut above some of their recent efforts, but still a distinctly TV-movie style follow-up to the now near-classic original.

    by Mark Costello
    Black Panther: Wakanda Forever IMAX Movie Review
    The almost impossible task of following in the indelible footsteps of Chadwick Boseman fell to the right people to deliver an elegant if slightly imperfect look at grief and loss while still staying true to the legacy of 2018’s ground-breaking original.

    She-Hulk: Attorney at Law (Disney+) TV Show Review

    Werewolf By Night (Disney+) Movie Review

    by Tom Davies
    Werewolf By Night (Disney+) Movie Review
    Marvel serves up an early Halloween treat with its first standalone special – a tribute to the monster movies of the 1930s, but is it any more than a diverting curiosity. You can read the review, but the answer is “not really.”

    More compelling than it has any right to be, Hulu's unauthorised chart of the rise and fall and rise and fall of "Iron Mike" Tyson is equal parts tragic and unpleasant, but never less than enthralling.

    “As a means of motivating people to be cruel or inhumane[…]there may be no more potent force than religion.” So said Jon Krakauer in his book, Under the Banner of Heaven. If there’s one thing this new Disney+ show based on the book demonstrates, it’s that.

    More Evil Dead Strange than mad multiverses, this one's definitely for Raimi fans, earning a solid 4K release that, once again, is a harder sell to those with access to the IMAX Disney+ version.
