Netflix put its adaptation of Leo Tolstoy's Anna Karenina on indefinite hold, and an Italian university course on Fyodor Dostoevsky - the 19th century novelist exiled for defying the Russian state - was withdrawn before it was reinstated after a backlash.

Study his pace and eye for goal now and it's hard to imagine that he was ever anything other than the attacking menace who attracted interest from Aberdeen and Hibs in the January window. Yet, during his early career he was mistaken for a right-back and a central midfielder before Mackay found his natural calling.

Dolemite Is My Name follows Moore from his job at a record store to the big screen.

If you liked The Haunting of Hill House, then check out Mike Flanagan's adaptation of Stephen King novel Gerald's Game. Carla Gugino is immense as Jessie, who goes on holiday with her husband at an isolated lake house in Alabama. Largely sticking to a bedroom setting, we see the couple's troubles go from bad to worse, with Jessie ending up in the impossible situation of being handcuffed to the bed with no one to help her escape. Gerald's Game leads to narratively and emotionally satisfying conclusions, with Flanagan's melancholy-suffused horror that surges into quiet triumph for its haunted characters.

One of the best new family movies has just hit Netflix. From some of the same people who made Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse comes this adventure to save the world involving Mom, Dad, the kids and their slobbery, bug-eyed dog.

The technology-inept parent gags are rife, the colors frenetic and the character growth moving. A near-perfect package with the timeless message that embracing your weirdness is a superpower.
