With streaming services galore and DVDs becoming a thing of the past, it’s important to make the right decision when adding to your collection.
 
Each month, we look at what movies deserve a space on your home-cinema shrine… (commonly known as a DVD shelf).
 
Here’s five films that we think have potential to be bought in a shop near you…

We have to, we just simply have to. We need to talk about Netflix. The streaming giant is killing the game when it comes to people’s viewing online.
 
We have some facts that we want to share with you and discuss how the Godfather of streaming perhaps will never be matched. Is this the new normal when it comes to getting your TV and movie fix?

Hello virtual friends! I hope you are all keeping well and staying safe indoors wherever possible. In these unprecedented times, my usual entertainment column will not be printed in the STN – but it shall live online which is where you are reading it now!
 
So, for some light relief, this month I am looking at what you can catch on the small screen instead of cinema. Let me tell you, you’re in for a treat!

The next couple of months will be a little different to perhaps any other year as there is, quite simply, no cinema!
 
In these features, we will detail what’s coming up on Netflix that you should definitely catch a glimpse of!
 
Here’s five films/TV series that we think deserve your attention…

Battle of the Sequels returns after our Fast Saga epic! This time we are focusing on another series – the Harry Potter franchise!
 
This series of films are sacred to a lot of fans, but the time has come, to pit them against each other in a battle royal.
 
So, hold onto your wands (no crude jokes please) and let’s get into it!

The golden oldie feature continues on Cineroom! Yes, it’s the revisit of the classic ‘Acquire, Hire of Fire’ feature – but this time with me!
 
How does it work I hear you ask? Well, if you Acquire a film, it means you love it. If you ‘Hire’ a film, it makes you like and would rent again; and of course, if you ‘Fire’ a film, you probably hate it.
 
I asked a reader to give me the topic this time, so here is the ‘Apatow’ edition…

Reporting live (well, not quite) to you from Cineroom HQ, we have the latest reaction to the big news stories over the past 30 days.
 
As always, we will present you with the facts, and then our take on them. We may have guest reporters every now and then – so look out for opportunities!
 
This just in… here’s news story number one…

When a new movie is upon us all, what’s the first thing we do? Check IMDB for any updates, then probably watch the trailer, and then perhaps even check alternative posters… well we do!
 
In this feature, we want to shine a light on the artists who create those complementary artworks for the production companies. We have a stellar foursome for you…

Our title doesn’t lie. In this feature each month, we round up the five best trailers from the past few weeks, so you don’t have to.
 
The trailers could quite simply be for any movie, all we know is, it’s certainly five of the best!
 
Buckle up, clear your diary… this is the best 10 minutes of your month…

Now come on, we are a film website after all. So, it would only be fitting if we talk about all the cool film stuff you can buy online.
 
In this feature, we will be looking at all sorts of websites where you can buy posters, memorabilia, stickers and much more. Let’s get into it.
