| Housekeeping |
| The name Bill Forsyth may not resonate with younger audiences but for those of us who loved Gregory’s Girl and Local Hero, he’s something of a lost talent. His first US feature mesmerised Camus in 1987. But will Housekeeping stand up thirty years on? |

| Headshot |

| Wonder Woman |
| Comic giants DC seem to be losing in the cinematic battle with rivals Marvel. Zach Snyder’s dark, FX heavy efforts have lacked wit and a lightness of touch. Can Patty Jenkins’ Wonder Woman buck the trend? Camus heads off to Paradise Island. |

| Dough |
| Jonathan Pryce is a down-on-his-luck Jewish baker who takes on Jerome Holder's young Muslim apprentice in a likeable but formulaic tale of unity, friendship and cannabis that shines in its lead performances and hits UK cinemas tomorrow. |

| Hardcore |

| The Wild One |
| The movie that launched the Outlaw Biker sub-genre and made an icon of a young Marlon Brando has been released on a fabulously featured dual format set by Indicator. Slarek dons his shades, slips into his leathers and revs up one of the key films of American indie cinema. |

| The Damned: Don't You Wish That We Were Dead |
| One of the pioneering bands of the UK punk scene in the 1970s, The Damned are too often sidelined in the role call of influential punk greats of their day, something Wes Orshoski's welcome documentary attempts to put right. Slarek revisits one of the joys of his teen years. |

| Alien: Covenant |
| A few years ago, director Ridley Scott said that the potency of the original alien had been irrevocably diluted by over-familiarity not to mention its appearance at Disneyland. What changed his mind? Camus peers into the (curate’s) egg of Alien Covenant… |

| The Lady from Shanghai |
| Despite being drastically shortened and rescored by the studio, Orson Welles' 1947 The Lady from Shanghai is still a remarkable and hugely satisfying noir thriller. Slarek revisits one of Welles' most inventive films, looking better than ever on Indicator's excellent Blu-ray. |

| The Entity |
| Barbara Hershey is superb as a single mother who suffers repeated sexual assaults at the hand of an invisible assailant in a smarter-than-it sounds 1982 horror work from Sidney J. Furie. Slarek wrestles with the social politics and reviews Eureka's new Blu-ray. |

| Colossal |
| In between the movies we know that are coming (the Aliens, the superheroes etc.) arrives a certified misfit, a narrative of such beguiling strangeness that it begs to be appreciated. Camus finds Colossal simply amazing. |

| Born Free |
| In 1966, Born Free did for lions what Jaws failed to do for sharks. We fell in love with lions and hunted sharks to near extinction. Raising awareness of our appalling treatment of animals is laudable however it’s achieved. Camus returns to the African bush… |

| Experiment in Terror |
| Lee Remick is a single woman terrorised by an unknown assailant and Glenn Ford is the FBI man she calls on for help in Blake Edwards' terrific 1962 blend of police procedural and neo-noir thriller. Slarek salutes the film and the Blu-ray in Indicator's typcially fine dual format release. |

| Drunken Master |
| One of the two films that set Jackie Chan on the road to superstardom and launched an entire sub-genre of martial arts comedy is still a jaw-dropping delight. Genre fan Slarek revisits one of Chan's most beloved films on a terrific Blu-ray from Masters of Cinema. |

| The Fate of the Furious |
| I saw the first, may have even seen the second. I’m sure I’ve not seen 3 to 7 but 8… Wow! Astounded to learn of its first weekend box office record breaking but now I understand. The Fast and the Furious 8 is just deliriously entertaining. Camus is still smiling… |
