The Business of Film: The Menu, Confess Fletch & The Wonder
With box office off 37% and Wakanda Forever still at #1, James Cameron-Wilson strongly recommends black satire The Menu with Ralph Fiennes at #2. Confess, Fletch, a spoof detective movie with Jon Hamm only made #16. However, James does also recommend psychological thriller The Wonder, directed by Sebastián Lelio, which vanished quickly from cinemas but is now on Netflix. Starring Florence Pugh, James found it a moving work of art.

The Business of Film: Black Panther 2 – Wakanda Forever, Enola Holmes 2 & Spirited

The Business of Film: Black Panther 2 – Wakanda Forever, Enola Holmes 2 & Spirited
James Cameron-Wilson looks at the UK box office where a 119% jump is entirely down to the release of Black Panther 2: Wakanda Forever with Letitia Wright in the lead. Despite good performances, he found it OTT and overlong. Other films suffered heavily from its amazing £12.4m weekend take. On Netflix, James enjoyed the rollicking yarn that is Enola Holmes 2 with Millie Bobby Brown. He found Christmas Carol knockoff Spirited, with Will Ferrell and Ryan Reynolds (both paid $20m), squirm-inducing, mawkish and crude.

The Business of Film: Living, All Quiet On The Western Front & Causeway
James Cameron-Wilson laments a box office falling another 34% (ahead of next week's Wakanda Forever). The Banshees of Inisherin is strong at #3 with over £6m while Living, with Bill Nighy, enters at #4. James (and Simon) adore the film and hope Nighy will finally get the Oscar recognition that has eluded him. On Netflix, James thinks the German remake of All Quiet On The Western Front is a masterpiece while he finds Causeway, on Apple+, full of wonderful performances, including that of Jennifer Lawrence.

The Business of Film: Barbarian, Bros, Hilma & The Good Nurse

The Business of Film: Barbarian, Bros, Hilma & The Good Nurse
Despite the box office declining another 14%, James Cameron-Wilson finds several films worthwhile. At #8 is enjoyable & unpredictable horror Barbarian. Bros, a studio LGBT romcom at #11 has been a financial bomb but James found it witty & compassionate. Hilma, the tale of abstract artist Hilma af Klint is, he thinks, Lasse Hallström's best film and one to seek out. He also admires the intelligent psychological drama The Good Nurse on Netflix with Eddie Redmayne & Jessica Chastain.

The Business of FIlm: Black Adam, The Banshees of Inisherin & Triangle of Sadness

The Business of FIlm: Black Adam, The Banshees of Inisherin & Triangle of Sadness
James Cameron-Wilson looks at a UK box office that still appears in less than robust health, despite the arrival at #1 of Black Adam, starring Dwayne Johnson. This DC comic spin-off, however, James found plodding and lacking in humour. He was more enthusiastic about #2, Martin McDonagh's The Banshees of Inisherin, reuniting Colin Farrell and Brendan Gleeson from McDonagh's earlier film In Bruges. With Emily and The Last King dropping out of the top ten, James advises people to look out for Swedish Palme D'Or winner Triangle of Sadness.

The Business of Film: Emily, Flux Gourmet & Anais In Love

The Business of Film: Emily, Flux Gourmet & Anais In Love
James Cameron-Wilson laments a continuing weak UK box office. He welcomes a potential star in Emma Mackey from Sex Education in the film Emily (as in Bronte) but it only made #10 in the chart. He found Flux Gourmet from Peter Strickland engaging but baffling but that film barely troubled the scorers at #91 in the chart. James was happier watching Anais in Love starring Anais Demoustier on DVD, though he found the film all over the place. He hopes that Dwayne Johnson's new film can provide more cheer next week.

The Business of Film: The Woman King, Amsterdam, The Lost King & champagne with Angela Lansbury
James Cameron-Wilson takes us through the film in a box office chart down 18% on the week. The Woman King with Viola Davis, a true story of an African tribe of female warriors is #2 but james found it an unreal potboiler. David O. Russell's Amsterdam with an amazing cast including Christian Bale, Margot Robbie and Robert de Niro is #5 but James thought it an incoherent mish-mash. However, he did enjoy a true story behind the discovery of Richard III's body, The Lost King, with Sally Hawkins and Steve Coogan at #7. He also told Simon Rose how he was once invited to drink champagne with the late Angela Lansbury.

The Business of Film: Smile, Blonde & the top 10 horror films of all time
James Cameron-Wilson reviews horror film Smile at #1 in the UK box office chart, which he found overlong, clichéd and boring, despite a strong central role. He applauded Prima Facie which has now taken over £5m, the first event movie to do so. Despite its long length, he found Blonde, telling a fictionalised life of Marilyn Monroe, to be remarkabe, with Spanish-speaking actress Ana de Armas perhaps the best female performance of the year.

The Business of Film: Ticket to Paradise, Don't Worry Darling & Avatar
James Cameron-Wilson celebrates a box office take which has more than doubled with the Julia Roberts, George Clooney comedy Ticket to Paradise at #1. Sadly, James found it charmless and excruciating. At #2 is Olivia Wilde's Don't Worry Darling with Florence Pugh and Harry Styles, which James found intriguing but ultimately a cop-out. He was more enthusiastic about the rerelease of Avatar which he thought better and more topical than he remembered. He also tells Simon Rose about the top 10 foreign language releases in the UK.

The Business of Film: Both Sides of the Blade, Identification of a Woman & I Came By - 22 Sep 22
James Cameron-Wilson laments a further decline in the UK box office, off another 31%. See How They Run is still #1 with Bowie doc Moonage Daydream at #10. The worthwhile but uncomfortable drama Both Sides of the Blade with Juliette Binoche only managed #48. Cleaned up for a Blu-Ray release is Antonioni's 1982 provocative arthouse film Identification of a Woman. James was pleasantly surprised by I Came By, an unsettling dystopian view of Britain today with George Mackay and Hugh Bonneville, which is on Netflix.
