    John Carpenter’s most emotional film still radiates charm and warmth despite its underlying tone of sadness and loss. And it's all the more beautiful on this stunning new 4K restoration from Sony as part of their ongoing Columbia Classics boxsets…

    Spaceman (Netflix) Movie Review
    Left to languish on Netflix’s shelves for three years after its completion, Adam Sandler and Carey Mulligan’s trip to just a couple of clicks on past Solaris is an admirable failure that may find a second life as a cure for arachnophobia…

    The Marvels 4K Blu-ray Review

    by Cas Harlow
    The Marvels 4K Blu-ray Review
    A Holiday Special of a Marvel movie, it's unsurprising to find the 33rd MCU entry amidst the three lowest rated, and once again Disney display a complete disdain towards the very physical media that might help this flop break even, releasing it on 4K HDR after its streaming bow, and without the Disney+ trappings of Dolby Vision and IMAX Enhancement.

    Conan the Destroyer 4K Blu-ray Review
    The bland and watered down sequel to its more grown-up predecessor, Conan the Destroyer delivers more effects driven set pieces, more humour and less of absolutely everything else.
