It's Christmas, and what better time to dust off one of the greatest Christmas horrors of all time, in 4K  

Jane Fonda’s ultra-kitsch space heroine returns to save the universe with nothing but love and an array of ever decreasing clothing in Arrow’s stunning new 4K limited edition set, released over the pond in the US but readily importable for fans… and well worth doing so it is too…  

The TCL C745 is an incredibly affordable QLED TV with support for all HDR formats, Dolby Atmos and DTS sound, as well as two HDMI 2.1 ports, a games menu, fast input lag and eARC on an HDMI 2.0 port. So, is it any good and does it manage to offer excellent value for money?  

Sony’s TA-AN1000 is the first new AV amplifier from the Japanese tech giant in six years. Was it worth the wait?  

The movies team takes a look back at 2023, highlighting some of the best theatrical and streaming movie releases TV shows, and 4K discs, as well as the studios behind them.  

Apple's gloriously grungy spy show returns for its third season in two years, with Gary Oldman still flatulating his way around being the best spy that nobody ever noticed.  

A flawed, frequently tense, fitfully fervent, overly ambitious but mostly modestly satisfying and atmospheric effort from Michael Mann, Blackhat still remains an odd choice for his next 4K release, a Limited Edition bells-and-whistles set from Arrow - UPDATED FOR DIRECTOR'S CUT REVIEW  

Arrow Video bring the full Chucky movie collection to our favourite home video format with an almost full set of Shout Factory 4K ports gathered in a single franchise set. Great transfers, new Atmos soundtracks and a boatload of extras? Who wouldn’t wanna play…?  

Philips latest flagship OLED+908 offers MLA (Micro Lens Array) and META technology for increased brightness along with the 7th Gen P5 processor and Bowers & Wilkins Soundbar. So is it a contender for TV of the year?  

The Mitchells vs. The Machines' Jeff Rowe gives TMNT the Spider-Verse makeover, crafting a superbly scripted teen action-comedy with unsurprisingly innovative sound and visuals that all come together for a must-have 4K release.  

Apple's Monsterverse TV show delivers intrigue and action in equal measure, but its real strength is the casting of father/son duo Kurt and Wyatt Russell as its lead character. But if none of that is enough to recommend it to you... Godzilla is in it!  

Ironically, for such a culture-centric production, DC's now 'non-canon' Blue Beetle is a pretty blandly paint-by-numbers Superhero Origins 101 outing that lands with an unsurprisingly shiny new 4K release.  

We present our video review of the Panasonic MX950 Mini LED TV.  

Netflix's lavish Royal drama hits the first leg of its final run, focusing on the doomed plight of Diana, with Elizabeth Debicki burning twice as bright, as her superstar outcast soars.  

Steven Spielberg showed what he was capable of right out of the gate with this taut, tense and incredibly dusty tale of a terrorizing tractor-trailer relentlessly pursuing Dennis Weaver through the California desert. And Universal unleash Duel on 4K with a great new transfer and one massive selling point that may not be quite what the studio intended…let's dive in shall we?  

Apple's finest flagship show lands with another deep impact opener, affording a glimpse at what will undoubtedly be another memorable season of this tremendous alternate sci-fi series.  

The Killer gives David Fincher an opportunity to round up all the skills he’s honed as a director. But no matter how well-drawn the characters, or how taught the component pieces, disappointingly, it’s all in service of some very tired hitman revenge plot beats.  

Too early to get into the Christmas spirit? Studiocanal don't think so, with their new 4K restoration of the both quaintly beloved and more often derided 1985 box office disaster Santa Claus: The Movie.  

Takeshi Miike directs this samurai demon-slaying show based on the Capcom videogame universe, bringing the greatest samurai actor who ever lived back to life for one last epic battle.  

We present our video review of the Panasonic MZ1500 OLED TV.  

Absolutely one of the finest Netflix productions ever put together, created by the co-writer of Blade Runner 2049 and Logan, Blue Eye Samurai is visually stunning, brutally bloody, kinetically action-packed and fabulously unravelled over an epic 8 episodes and 6 hours.  

Panasonic dips its toes back into the flagship LED LCD TV market with the nicely specified MX950B, so is it onto a winner?  

Christos Nikou's English-language directorial debut is an intriguing little sci-fi idea never quite done justice by its otherwise conventional romantic drama narrative, despite committed performances from its leads.  

Hitting home formats after an unexpectedly disappointing Box Office run, and in the wake of news about not only production delays on Part 2, but maybe even an inexplicable title change, Dead Reckoning is still a cracking piece of escapist entertainment and a stunning 4K DV/DA disc.  

Based on Anthony Doerr's Pulitzer Prize winning novel, directed by Stranger Things' Shawn Levy and scripted by Peaky Blinders' Steven Knight, Netflix's lavish WWII adaptation paints a piteous portrait of war and greed, but is it worth 4 hours of your life?  

The second tier of the Panasonic OLED TV range drops the flagship MLA panel and adds a soundbar not found on previous 1500 models, so what gives and is it any good?  

Universal may have had no faith in this sequel, but Arrow Video sure do, gifting Tremors 2 with a lavish new set.  

We present our video review of the flagship Sony BRAVIA XR A95L QD-OLED TV.  

Blunt and Evans take a fat paycheque to portray loathsome drug reps who take a fat paycheque to persuade slimy doctors to take a fat paycheque to push a drug that everyone on the pyramid knows kills people. The end.  

Created by the guy who ruined X-Men's Dark Phoenix saga multiple times, it shouldn't come as much of a surprise to find that Simon Kinberg's Invasion continues to be a show that keeps its audience perpetually waiting for something good to happen.  

Ditching everything that should have been learned from Bumblebee, Rise may not be quite as stupid as The Last Knight but boy does it try, still making for a technically impressive 4K release, but little else.  

Ridley Scott's equally flawed and equally exquisite Grand Guignol sequel to The Silence of the Lambs may miss Foster, but enjoys a show-stopping Gary Oldman, and sees Hopkins turn his psychotic killer into some kind of delicious, Dracula-infused, avenging angel, hitting UK shores with a lavish 4K steelbook set.  

After what seems like a very long wait, we finally get hands-on with one of the most anticipated QD OLED TVs of the year, the Sony A95L. So can it possibly live up to the 'King of TV' hype? Let's find out...  

Clive Barker’s beautifully brutal franchise may not have had the number of films of its peers – a measly 11 – but the impact of Pinhead and his angelic/demonic hedonists has been significantly greater. And now Arrow let us revisit the first four of those in stunning new 4K restorations with a whole raft of new extras to boot. Oh Arrow… you have such sights to show us…  

Studiocanal re-release Jeunet and Caro’s stunning debut, a fantastical and surrealist comedy about cannibals at war with a vegetarian militia set in a post-apocalyptic world…it really could only come from the French, couldn’t it? And in 4K to boot…  

The 100U7K joins the existing 55, 65 and 75 inch models, with the previously-announced 85-inch option also set to start rolling out to UK stores.  

AppleTV+ dives into the industry of making shows you can just vibe with... but the vibes here are not all good in Kelly Marcel's adaptation of Victor Lavalle's folklore-inspired horror. UPDATED FOR FULL SEASON REVIEW
