Avatar: Seven Havens Book 1 review: Two Avatars and a lot of promise
The first new animated Avatar series since The Legend of Korra is a really good season with a great twin idea and a goosebump finale. It does not reach the original or Korra. A 4 out of 5.

Avatar: Fire and Ash is visually outstanding, but like The Way of Water it lost us on story and character logic, and we watched it at home. A well-meant 3 out of 5.

Mickey 17 review: Inventive sci-fi, but not a must-see
Bong Joon-ho's Mickey 17 is an inventive, entertaining sci-fi satire with a committed Robert Pattinson, but it is not above average. Rating: 3.5/5.
Movies & TVReview
Tenzing review: The Everest story finally told from his side
Tenzing is Apple's true-story drama about Tenzing Norgay and the 1953 Everest ascent: a slow start, then gripping, beautifully shot and very emotional. Rating: 4.5/5.
