James Cameron-Wilson laments a box office down 44% with no new films other than high school sex comedy Bottoms. He was unimpressed by Apple TV's Fingernails with Jesse Buckley, a sci-fi romance he found weird without being funny or moving. He was, however, a fan of Disney+'s Quiz Lady, an enjoyable farce with Awkwafina, Sandra Oh & Will Ferrell which he thought great fun. He was most taken, however, by the beautifully-restored release of the 1929 Pandora's Box, starring Louise Brooks. This masterpiece of German expressionist cinema is held by many to be one of the most influential films ever made. Despite its age, James found it very modern in outlook, with some wonderful extras on the disc.
