dvd & blu-ray reviews:
The Disaster Artist (15)
How a really bad film got made.
Blade of the Immortal (15)
It slices, dices, but can this Samurai tale still make the cut?
The Dinner (15)
More a cheap takeaway than a full blown 3-courser.
Justice League (12)
Is DC's latest in a league of its own?
Battle of the Sexes (12)
New balls please.

Our favourite pink blob is back!!!
Gravel [PS4, Xbox One, PC]

Build it, and yes, they will come.
Samsara [Xbox One, PC]
Oops up-side your head, say oops upside your head!

book reviews:
Parsnips, Buttered by Joe Lycett
How to complain with style and panache.
Gironimo! by Tim Moore
Not quite nul points for otherwise brilliant travel humourist Moore's latest labour of love.
Who Is Tom Ditto? by Danny Wallace
Danny Wallace asks a question for his new novel. But will you care for the answer?
Apocalypse Now Now by Charlie Human
This fresh debut is a little bit like Grange Hill on crack with monsters. What's not to love?

Everything but the Girl's Tracey Thorn gives a fantastic account of her dalliances with popdom.
