Now on 4K UHD, BD/DVD, Tron Ares, starring Jared Leto. This sequel may lack personality, but it makes for a satisfying conclusion to the trilogy, with some dazzling visuals and a cracking soundtrack.

Now out on Blu-ray & DVD, Black Phone 2, starring Mason Thames and Ethan Hawke. This is the perfect example of an unnecessary sequel being rung out of a decent enough flick, about dreams at camp, that should've just been blocked.

Now out on Blu-ray, Good Fortune, starring Aziz Ansari, Seth Rogen and Keanu Reeves. Although the premise for this comedy is fun, of an angel wanting to help out on a bigger scale, its lame script makes it hell to watch.

Now on Blu-ray/DVD, HIM, starring Tiriq Withers and Marlon Wayans. This film, about a young football player making the step into the big time, is certainly sumptuous to look at, But its lame plot just doesn't play ball.

Now on Blu-ray, A Big Bold Beautiful Journey, starring Margot Robbie and Colin Farrell. Despite the top cast, this fantasy romcom, that sees two people on a quirky trip, is a disappointing dead end.

Now out on Blu-ray/DVD, The Glassworker. A beautifully-crafted, hand-drawn anime, as reminiscing about one's past, leads to a tale of young love.

Now in UK cinemas, Kiss of the Spider Woman, starring Diego Luna, Tonatiuh, & J Lo. Based on the stage musical. Although its mix of gritty prison life and Hollywood glamour looks good, it doesn't quite hit the right notes.

#KissOfTheSpiderWoman
Now in UK cinemas, The Wizard of the Kremlin, starring Paul Dano and Jude Law. This political drama is a blend of soft fiction with the harsh facts of reality, as a young man becomes the spin doctor for a certain Putin.

Now in UK cinemas, The Blue Trail, starring Denise Weinberg. This semi sci-fi Brazilian film is a joyful look of an older woman forced to seek a new lease of life.

Now on @PrimeVideo , Balls Up, starring Mark Wahlberg and Paul Walter Hauser. A woefully bad comedy, directed by Peter Farrelly, about a pair behind a new condom for the World Cup, shoots nothing but blanks.

Now on @netflix, Thrash. Perhaps it's the fact that this cheesy flick's director is Norwegian that its title has a glaring spelling mistake with an add 'h'. Still, if you class Sharknado as a guilty pleasure, you'll be right at home. Review: boomuk.net/thrash.html

Now streaming on @AppleTV , Outcome, starring Keanu Reeves, Cameron Diaz and Jonah Hill. This comedy, directed by Hill, following a celebrity on the cusp of cancellation, is let down by an uneven script and diluted satire.

Now in UK cinemas, Father Mother Sister Brother, starring Adam Driver, Cate Blanchett and Charlotte Rampling. Jim Jarmusch directs an anthology on family reunions, that's just a little too mediocre to enjoy.

Now on @DisneyPlus /@hulu , Mike & Nick & Nick & Alice, starring Vince Vaughn, James Marsden & Eiza González. This kooky, comedy crime caper, with a pinch of time travel, throws a lot at the screen - most of it sticking.
