HOSTILES (15) „„„ JUNGLE (15) „„„ HEADING off on an ill-advised Amazonian adventure (based on the true story of backpacker Yossi Ghinsberg) is our old mate Daniel Radcliffe, now equipped with a beard, a funny accent and crazy trust in some Austrian bloke he and two fellow adventurer­s meet on the way.

This sinister guy (Thomas Kretschman­n) promises them all sorts, just so long as they put their faith in him.

In response to which they basically go: “Oh, right, fair enough, we can’t imagine this will go massively, nightmaris­hly tits-up or anything…” DETROIT (15) „„„„ THE summer of 1967 witnessed serious, racially charged unrest in the US city of Detroit.

At the height of the rioting, on the evening of July 25, three young African American men, all in their teens, were murdered at the city’s Algiers Hotel. Will Poulter and John Boyega head up a fine cast in this powerful account of that fateful night, released in cinemas on its 50th anniversar­y. COMEDIANS IN CARS GETTING COFFEE (15) „„„ LONG before James Corden began inviting various showbiz buddies to hop in and join him for an in-car singsong, American stand-up legend and classic car fanatic Jerry Seinfeld was taking comedy pals on his own four-wheeled outings, in this case fuelled by ample supplies of caffeine.

The full back catalogue of nine online series arrives on Netflix today, with further fresh episodes to come. While many of Jerry’s guests may not be instantly familiar to UK viewers (notable exceptions include Ricky Gervais and Will Ferrell), there’s a contagious sense of fun that should win you over. LOVE, LIES & RECORDS (15) „„„ RECENTLY shown on BBC One, this six-part drama stars Ashley Jensen as Kate, a respected registrar who’s made one potentiall­y catastroph­ic error: getting drunk and having sex with a workmate. These shenanigan­s then caught on CCTV. Will this cost her her job and her marriage? It will if her bitter workmate Judy (Rebecca Front) has anything to do with it.
