Actor Charlie Cox is back as blind lawyer-cum-superhero Matt Murdock in Marvel’s highly-anticipated new series, Daredevil: Born Again. Though the character appeared briefly in other MCU properties, it’s been three years since audiences have seen him take centre stage in his own story. Daredevil is surrounded by familiar faces in this latest go-round, most notably Vincent D’Onofrio as former mob boss and current mayoral candidate Wilson Fisk.

Nominated for Best British Film at this weekend’s BAFTA Awards, Lee is a moving biographical war drama that tells the remarkable story of World War II correspondent Lee Miller. Played with care and depth by the always phenomenal Kate Winslet (also a producer on the film), Miller captured some of the most critical moments of the 20th century with a keen eye for humanity and truth.

There are few things better than snuggling up on a cold winter’s day and getting stuck into a good mystery. Britain has given us our fair share of excellent detective series, from classics like Poirot and Morse to modern dramatic gems like Vera and Shetland and even the more lighthearted dramedies Agatha Raisin and Father Brown. Coming March 20, there’s a new entry to the latter genre that looks like a perfect addition to the pantheon of binge-able content from across the pond.

Scheduled to premiere at this year’s Glasgow Film Festival, Sarah Galea-Davis’s The Players is a compelling coming-of-age tale to keep your eye on. The film follows 15-year-old Emily (Stefani Kimber) in the summer of 1994 as she navigates the power dynamics of her surrogate family, an avant-garde theatre company putting on a new production of Hamlet.

My favourite film of 2024 is finally coming to theatres this Friday, courtesy of @MongrelMedia . Marianne Jean-Baptiste is stunning in Mike Leigh's #HardTruths, as is the entire supporting cast. See it if you can (and check out my review for @ThatShelf ⬇️)
Mike Leigh's #HardTruths is a stunning, compassionate portrait of humanity likely to be counted among his very best. Marianne Jean-Baptiste's performance is unforgettable. https://t.co/tPlCO6FBBu @MongrelMedia
