The Best and Worst of 2018 in Movies and Videogames!

A new year brings a look back at the previous year’s releases and everything we watched at the cinema or on Blu-ray at home, plus all those computer and console delights in The Best and Worst of 2018 in Movies and Videogames!

All scores are out of 10, with some Blu-ray and DVD releases being a film-only review. I also have online vlogs for my Top 10 Best and Worst Movies of 2018 so will post those below.

For TV series where I’d review individual episodes, click here. I haven’t listed them individually here as they’d take up way too much space.
