Spring, spring, spring, spring, everybody loves spring!
Yes, winter’s finally gone, but there’s no end in sight to the
incredible entertainment at your local Video Ezy.
This month is a big one for action, as the Cap and his
Avengers associates set to feuding in Captain America:
Civil War. Meanwhile, there’s turtley cool action in Teenage
Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows, all manner of
magic in Warcraft: The Beginning and a whole lot of sleight
of hand as the Four Horsemen return in Now You See
Me 2. Whoa! We haven’t even mentioned Bruce Willis in
Marauders, or Tina Fey in Whiskey Tango Foxtrot, or Bruce
again in Precious Cargo... Phew!
CENTRAL
INTELLIGENCE
GHOSTBUSTERS
HUNT FOR THE
WILDERPEOPLE
Dwayne Johnson was once a bullied
geek, but he’s now a lethal CIA
agent. Home for his high school
reunion, he enlists former “big man
on campus” Kevin Hart, who’s
now an accountant, on his current
mission. Before the sedate numbers
guy knows it his unpredictable
new friend drags him through an
increasingly dangerous world of
shootouts, doublecrosses and
espionage that could easily see
them both killed.
Four of the funniest chicks around
– Kristen Wiig, Melissa McCarthy,
Kate McKinnon and Leslie Jones
- are here to bust ghosts, 30 years
after the original team first saved
New York from all manner of
spectral shenanigans. Paranormal
activity is on the rise once again, so
a Columbia University academic,
her ghost-chasing friend, the
friend’s business partner and a
transit employee join forces to save
the great metropolis – again!
Ricky, a rebellious city foster kid
raised on hip-hop, gets a new start
in the New Zealand countryside.
He soon finds himself at home with
Aunt Bella, Uncle Hec (Sam Neill)
and a dog named Tupac. But when
a tragedy hits, Ricky goes bush,
pursued by his new uncle. Thinking
Hec unstable, a national manhunt
ensues, and our outlaw pair must
decide whether to go out in a blaze
of glory, or sort out their differences
and be a family.
DID YOU MISS THESE?
If you dig action comedy then Rusty and Ryan’s ’70s trip The
Nice Guys is definitely the go, while Key and Peele’s Keanu
– the tale of the world’s most adorable kitten - may have you
mewling with laughter.
Over to more family-friendly fare, two videogames go to
the movies this month with The Angry Birds Movie and
everybody’s favourite Lombax and robot duo in Ratchet &
Clank.
TV time sees more Arrow, The Flash and the arrival of DC’s
Legends of Tomorrow. Then The Walking Dead shamble
in, so maybe you’d Better Call Saul, or even the guys from
Supernatural?!
We’ve all this and ever so much more, so spring into your
Video Ezy this month and be entertained!
BROOKLYN TERM LIFE
THE TRUST
With employment options scarce in
1950s Ireland, Eilis Lacey (Saoirse
Ronan) heads to America hoping
to find a life with more prospects
and opportunities. She settles in
the Brooklyn neighbourhood of
New York, home to many Irish
immigrants, where she meets Tony
(Emory Cohen), who falls for her
at first sight. But when a tragedy
happens back home in Ireland, Eilis
returns to her homeland carrying a
secret with her...
Nick (Vince Vaughn) discovers
that planning bank heists is risky
when he’s framed for the death
of his latest client, leaving him on
the run from a cartel kingpin. His
subsequent decision to swipe
up his estranged daughter Carrie
(Hailee Steinfeld) to protect her may
be questionable. However, Nick’s
thinking ahead and takes out life
insurance, before trying to live long
enough for it to be cashed in by his
little angel...
Many get bored with their jobs and
look for an out. But when you’re a
Vegas cop, and the way out involves
breaking the very laws that you
swore to uphold, it’s moral quandary
time. Not that Lieutenant Jim Stone
(Nic Cage) cares about the latter.
He comes across a dodgy bail
receipt and subsequently discovers
a drug dealer with a very large vault
secreted inside an industrial freezer.
So begins a heist plot that unravels
from the very get-go...

CAPTAIN AMERICA: CIVIL WAR
WARCRAFT: THE BEGINNING
RENT OR BUY* August 31 • DIRECTORS Anthony Russo, Joe Russo • STARS Chris Evans, Robert Downey Jr, Scarlett Johansson
GENRE Action/Sci-Fi • RATING CTC • IF YOU LIKED Avengers:

Age of Ultron
Dawn of Justice
RENT OR BUY* September 22 • DIRECTOR Duncan Jones • STARS Travis Fimmel, Paula Patton, Ben Foster
GENRE Fantasy/Action • RATING CTC • IF YOU LIKED The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King
The two titans of the Marvel Cinematic Universe go head-to-head in this latest from the Russo brothers, who previously
helmed the espionage thriller-like Captain America: The Winter Soldier. Captain America: Civil War conforms more to the
big budget superhero extravaganza mould than the second instalment and, arguably, is all the better for it. After a mission
in the country of Wakanda goes awry, government forces slap sanctions upon the actions of superheroes. They find
unlikely support from Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr), who feels that the collateral damage of their battles with villainous
forces has reached unacceptable levels. Steve Rogers (Chris Evans), still searching for his missing former friend Bucky
Barnes (Sebastian Stan) after he was revealed as the Winter Soldier, disagrees with Tony about the proposed limitations
to be placed upon the Avengers, which sends him on an ideals-driven collision course with one of his closest allies...
Featuring high octane action sequences, plus the long-awaited MCU debut of one of Marvel’s mainstays in Spider-Man,
Captain America: Civil War is quite possibly the most accomplished superhero film yet, with the ramifications from the
fallout of this one’s events promising to be felt throughout the rest of the third phase of Marvel movies. Sean
The questionable track record that movies based on videogames have is the stuff of legends, and breaking that curse is
no easy task when audiences have been numbed over the years by the likes of Super Mario Brothers and Street Fighter.
But this first instalment in what’s planned to be a series of movies based on the Warcraft universe sets out to change
that perception right from the get-go. While most everybody is familiar with the decade-old, gigantic online game World
of Warcraft, this movie draws its story from earlier times, the very beginning of the Warcraft story which played out in
the 1994 game of the same name. The various Orc clans of the planet Draenor bond together as the Horde, desperate
to escape their dying planet. With the aid of the pithily evil warlock Gul’dan, they travel through a portal to Medieval
England-like Azeroth, with plans to start anew. The citizens of Azeroth have to fend off an invasion of terrifying ferocity...
Beautifully rendered visually with some very familiar elements from World of Warcraft realised in incredible detail, Warcraft:
The Beginning benefits from director Duncan Jones’ undeniable skill as a filmmaker. It’s a fantasy epic, not a videogame
movie, and is all the better for it. Anthony
“I know we’re not perfect, but the safest hands are still our own.”

TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES: OUT OF THE SHADOWS
RENT OR BUY* September 15 • DIRECTOR Dave Green • STARS Megan Fox, Will Arnett, Stephen Amell
GENRE Action/Adventure • RATING CTC • IF YOU LIKED Transformers: Age of Extinction
Leonardo, Donatello, Michelangelo and Raphael return to save the world from evil once again, and this time they’re going
to need some help to defeat an even more powerful and villainous foe. One year after defeating the evil ninja Shredder, the
turtles remain beneath the sewers, too cautious to reveal themselves to the world. But after Shredder escapes from prison
and joins forces with mad scientist Baxter Stockman to unleash a diabolical plan to take over the world, it becomes clear
that they won’t be able to stay in the sewers eating pizza forever. With a newcomer ally in the form of the hockey stickwielding Casey Jones (Stephen Amell, TV’s Arrow), it seems that nothing will stop the Turtles in their quest to save the day
– well, until an even more menacing threat appears, making Shredder and company seem like nothing in comparison...
Break out the slices for this bodacious action flick, dudes and dudettes! Scott

Rock star magic types The Four Horsemen are bored. It’s over a year since their last big thing, and they’re in hiding
awaiting further orders. Henley even got so fed up that she left! But the Horsemen are soon a quartet again, with
Lula May (Lizzy Caplan, The Interview) joining Atlas (Jesse Eisenberg, American Ultra), Merritt (Woody Harrelson,
Seven Psychopaths) and Jack (Dave Franco, Unfinished Business), who soon find themselves with a new gig. They’re
tasked with exposing a shonky businessman named Owen Case (Ben Lamb, Divergent) whose new software secretly
mines personal user data. The Horsemen manage to infiltrate the software’s launch party, but somebody else hijacks
proceedings, leading our four to make a hasty escape. Well, that was the plan, but a spot of kidnapping sees them land
in Macau, to have a meeting with another tech type in Walter Mabry (Daniel Radcliffe, Victor Frankenstein). It seems the
dodgy software is hidden under a local casino, and Mabry wants the Horsemen to get it for him... Come for the ace tricks,
but stay for the Ocean’s-influenced heist story – with a bit of a revenge tale thrown in to boot. In Now You See Me

MYTHICA: THE DARKSPORE
RENT OR BUY* September 7 • DIRECTOR Anne Black • STARS Melanie Stone, Adam Johnson, Jake Stormoen
GENRE Fantasy/Action • RATING M • IF YOU LIKED The Last Witch Hunter
Thanks to the likes of Kickstarter, fantasy fans are breathing new life into independent projects driven by hungry filmmakers,
resulting in unsullied brilliance! This second movie in the Mythica series shows our would-be hero Marek (Melanie Stone)
not only fighting Szorlok, but also herself as she’s pulled closer to the powerful yet corrupting perils of dark necromancy
magic. This makes things difficult when trying to stop Szorlok from getting his hands on the Darkspore... Look out for
Kevin Sorbo (Hercules of the epic ’90s TV series) continuing as Marek’s one part wise and two parts kickass sorcerer
mentor. A winner for all fantasy fans, this series shows no signs of stopping with two more movies on the way! Conrad

GENRE Dramedy/Biography • RATING MA15+ • IF YOU LIKED Our Brand Is Crisis
DVD FOR ONLY
Sometimes the best way to shake up your life is to do something that you wouldn’t normally do. For some that might be
as simple as taking a different way home, but back in the early 2000s TV journo Kim Baker (Tina Fey, This Is Where I Leave
You) decides upon an altogether more extreme course of action, accepting a gig as a war correspondent in Afghanistan.
Hey, it’s only for three months, how bad could it be? After making a couple of friends she settles into the role well, going
that extra mile to source incredible, very human coverage. Soon that three months turns to several years, Kim’s tour
dragging on seemingly endlessly – much like the war... If you’re expecting 30 Rock Does Afghanistan then you’re on
the wrong track, as the comedy in WTF is very much of the everyday variety, like we saw glimpses of in Good Morning
Vietnam and Rock the Kasbah. But if you crave captivating, relatable human drama then you’re right on track. Amy

THE NICE GUYS
RENT OR BUY* August 31 • DIRECTOR Shane Black • STARS Russell Crowe, Ryan Gosling, Angourie Rice
GENRE Action/Comedy • RATING CTC • IF YOU LIKED Kiss Kiss Bang Bang
It’s hard to argue that Lethal Weapon wasn’t ground zero for the modern day buddy cop action flick template. That was
created by a guy named Shane Black, who’s scarcely been prolific since, although he did deliver us the fab Kiss Kiss Bang
Bang. He may not pump them out like many Hollywood types, but when he does come up with something new it’s worth
taking notice. The Nice Guys is no exception. Set in a wonderfully authentic 1977, it’s the tale of an enforcer and a private
eye (American Gangster’s Russell Crowe and Drive’s Ryan Gosling, respectively), the latter’s young daughter, a porn star,
a car crash, a short-sighted aunt, a missing girl, a blue-faced thug and his mate, a dodgy movie director, a projectionist,
smog protestors and a relentless hitman. The result? A funny, thrilling Shane Black buddy movie with onscreen chemistry
to rival Lethal Weapon – plus possibly the greatest cinematic squeal ever... Amy
MONEY MONSTER
RENT OR BUY* September 1 • DIRECTOR Jodie Foster • STARS George Clooney, Julia Roberts, Jack O’Connell
GENRE Crime/Thriller • RATING M • IF YOU LIKED The Wolf of Wall Street
As they’re both set within the financial world, it would be easy to compare director Jodie Foster’s Money Monster to The
Big Short. Yet while both movies focus on the US monetary market, an epic economic crash and some incredibly big
losses, that’s where the similarities end. While The Big Short was more of a history lesson, Foster’s movie takes a different
tack, shaping up as more of a dramatic thriller – and boy is it enjoyable! George Clooney (Gravity) plays Lee Gates, a
charismatic Wall Street guru and the host of financial TV show Money Monster. As Lee goes live to air, with producer Patty
Fenn (Julia Roberts, Secret in Their Eyes) in his ear, disgruntled investor Kyle Budwell (Jack O’Connell, Unbroken) crashes
the set toting a gun and explosives, taking Lee and the crew hostage. Broadcasting across the globe, Kyle tells Lee and
millions of viewers that he lost his entire life savings on an investment that went belly up. Will everybody survive this? Clint

IF YOU LIKED It’s Complicated
The incredible true story of mathematical genius Srinivasa
Ramanujan is told in this biopic about an unlikely friendship
and very big numbers! Srinivasa (Dev Patel, Slumdog
Millionaire) is living in pre-World War I India and using his
natural intelligence to teach himself complex mathematics.
But when it becomes clear that he needs additional support
to further his learning progress, he seeks admittance
to Cambridge University in England, where the curious
professor GH Hardy (Jeremy Irons, Night Train to Lisbon)
personally vouches for his entry. Upon arrival, Srinivasa is
an amazement to his professors, but international tensions
brought about by the war soon stir unpleasant prejudices
which threaten his research... This is a top biopic. Scott
Susan Sarandon (Tammy) is brilliant in her role as Marnie,
a newly widowed woman who relocates to LA to be closer
to her daughter, Lori (Rose Byrne, Bridesmaids). A lonely
Marnie begins to drive Lori crazy by bombarding her with
constant phone calls, texts and unexpected visits. But
when Lori travels to New York for work, Marnie is forced to
meet new people, including new love interest Zipper, (JK
Simmons, Whiplash)... The Meddler is a journey of love,
loss, grief and finding life again, and a highly enjoyable
one at that. It’s hard to believe that such an entertaining,
well-written and well-acted movie managed to get away
with minimum fanfare. Despite flying under the radar we
have nothing but praise for The Meddler. Krysten

Emilia Clarke (TV’s Game of Thrones) and Sam Claflin (The Hunger Games series) are wonderful in this movie adaptation
of Jojo Moyes book about a small town girl who forms an unlikely bond with the man she’s taking care of. Clarke plays
Louisa ‘Lou’ Clark, a quirky and creative 26-year-old who lives in an antiquated town in the English countryside. With
no clear goals or direction, Lou goes from one job to the next in order to help her family make ends meet. Her chirpy
personality is challenged, however, when she’s presented with a new job. The wandering young woman finds herself
caregiver and companion to Will Traynor (Claflin), a rich young banker who became wheelchair bound in an accident two
years prior, and whose whole world changed dramatically as a result. No longer the gung-ho adventurer he once was, the
bitter man has given up on life. Well, until his new caregiver gives him a reason to start living again... Clint

If you’re searching for a real tearjerker, then look no further. In this slow-burning drama, Matthew McConaughey stars as

entering the forest Arthur soon loses his way and eventually encounters Takumi, a Japanese man who is similarly lost.
Unable to leave Takumi behind, Arthur invests his remaining energy into returning the man safely outside the forest. The
two men then embark on a journey of reflection and survival, which helps an unsuspecting Arthur reconnect with his life at
home... Worth watching for its beautiful setting and excellent performances all round, don’t forget the tissues! Scott

From MADtv to voicing characters on most every cool cartoon ever, then playing FBI agents in TV’s Fargo and on to their

– a very, very cute kitten - that comes to the door of Rell (Peele) one day, and changes his life. Then Keanu’s catnapped,
triggering a riotous action caper as Rell and super-straight cousin Clarence (Key) brave the criminal underworld of Cheddar

If you think it rains too often where you are, be thankful that you don’t live in Cincinnati. Judging by this slick action/thriller
the rain there never seems to stop! It’s worth quickly getting over this omnipresent precipitation though, for the story here
is many-layered. Masked bandits storm a bank branch. They’re an organised lot, using pre-recorded messages rather
than risking their voices being identified. They’re in, they rob, they execute a guard and they’re out. Needless to say, bank
boss Jeffrey Hubert (Bruce Willis, also in this month’s Precious Cargo) isn’t happy, especially as he’s keeping secrets for
powerful types in his vaults. As if to reinforce Hubert’s fears, when the FBI are called in they soon realise that this job was
about more than money... Continuing their march towards becoming A-listers, Christopher Meloni, Dave Bautista and
Adrian Grenier give their all to their roles as FBI guys here, deducing their way to a shocking conclusion. Amy

It’s an ’80s TV star face off as Moonlighting’s Bruce Willis goes up against Saved by the Bell alum Mark-Paul Gosselaar
in this action-packed underworld tale. Crime boss Eddie (Willis) is out to find the seductive thief Karen (Claire Forlani,
Antitrust) who failed him. In order to win back her former employer’s trust, Karen employs her ex-lover and top thief Jack
(Gosselaar) to steal a horde of precious gems. But when the job goes down all trust goes out the window and Jack, Karen
and Eddie find themselves staring each other down in a deadly Reservoir Dogs-style standoff... We love him as the heroic
John McClane, but Bruce Willis always does a great villain – and his turn here is no exception. Clint

Ryan Reynolds swaps bodies (well, kind of) with Kevin Costner in the enthralling Criminal. Costner (The Guardian) stars
as the crooked Jericho Stewart, a man with brain damage that makes it impossible for him to feel emotions or distinguish
right from wrong. Reynolds (Deadpool) stars as Bill Pope, a CIA agent who dies before revealing where he hid a computer
hacker. A CIA station chief (Gary Oldman, Paranoia) comes up with the idea of grafting Pope’s brainwaves onto Jericho’s
brain, so that they can utilise the info within the dead man’s mind. But after the surgery is done, Jericho escapes custody
and starts racing around London trying to complete Pope’s last mission... In addition to Reynolds, Costner and Oldman,
Tommy Lee Jones is also here, playing the neuroscientist who is behind the brain grafting, while Batman v Superman’s
Wonder Woman Gal Gadot plays Pope’s wife. For a good time, call Criminal! Clint

Set in the near future, where technology rules all, Kill Command focuses on a group of soldiers, led by Captain Bukes

exercise. It’s immediately evident that things aren’t what they seem though when, out of nowhere, a pack of killer robots
emerges, turning on Bukes and his team. The routine training exercise has now turned into a battle for survival. Will
anybody be left standing at the end of the day? One of the most dazzling looking and well plotted science fiction movies
in recent memory, Kill Command is highly reminiscent of early James Cameron – in particular 1984’s The Terminator. Clint

See Pierce Brosnan as you’ve never seen him before in this unique thriller about a charismatic nightclub owner peddling
a designer drug that can’t be taken more than once. Urge sees four friends from New York headed to a tropical island for
a break. Brosnan’s club owner introduces them to a mysterious new drug called Urge, which makes users incapable of
controlling their impulses. Though the group are warned that they can only take it once, most of them ignore this and begin
taking it again and again... Joining Brosnan is a terrific line-up of young actors including Danny Masterson (TV’s That ‘70s
Show), Ashley Greene (The Twilight Saga), Alexis Knapp (Pitch Perfect 2) and Justin Chatwin (TV’s Shameless). Clint
An amazing clash between Margherita Buy and John Turturro makes this movie a joy from start to end. A film about making
a film, My Mother (aka Mia Madre) chronicles the chaotic production of a movie bearing the title We Are Here. It tells of
factory workers staging a sit-in to protest against a new owner’s planned layoffs, but it’s slowly driving director Margherita
(Buy, His Secret Life) mad. Maybe if her personal life wasn’t in such tatters – she’s dealing with a break-up, a sick mum
and her brother Giovanni, who’s annoyed at his sister for putting her work commitments before her gravely ill mother Margherita could more readily handle the production, and her spoilt American actor (Turturro, Rio, I Love You)? Clint

This latest action movie from Scott Adkins (The Expendables 2) won’t disappoint you, oh no! With lots of incredible fight
scenes and six pack abs, you might have to forfeit that second cuppa, because you won’t want to leave your couch. Wes
‘The Jailor’ Baylor is a disgraced mixed martial arts fighter who accepts a job offer, a one-off fight in Myanmar for a one
million dollar prize. He ends up in Southeast Asia ready for the fight, only to find out that his ring is a hundred square miles
of jungle. He’s forced into becoming the target of a human hunt, and to survive he needs to outsmart the heavily-armed
group that's paid money in order to kill him. But as the fight continues, the hunters might just become the hunted... Emilia
The terrific Jean Reno (The Professional) leads this action-packed remake of 2012 British crime flick The Sweeney. Like Nick
Love’s movie – which was a reboot of the 1970’s TV show that starred John Thaw and Dennis Waterman - The Sweeney:
Paris focuses on two cops, but this time operating out of the City of Light. Reno and Alban Lenoir are veteran copper Serge
and wet-around-the-ears sidekick Cartier. Sick of middle-management politics, Serge decides to take matters into his own
hands by punishing criminals himself. When an execution at a jewellers leads to a mass shootout, and Serge’s squad faces
being dispersed, it’s up to Cartier to step up... Reno puts in an amazing performance in this action-drenched thrill ride. Clint

German filmmaker Uwe Boll has amassed an intriguing body of work. Specialising in videogame adaptations like Far Cry,
Postal and In the Name of the King (based on Dungeon Siege), he’s also produced original tales such as the unadulterated
malevolence of the Rampage movies. This third one sees the return of vigilante Bill Williamson (Brendan Fletcher, The
Revenant). With his attempts at destroying the system in Rampage: Capital Punishment having failed to go off as he’d hoped,
he’s back with more murderous rage. He’s in Washington DC again, but the ante is upped as Williamson takes out the US
President, initiating nationwide instability... Boll says this will be his last movie. He’s certainly going out with a bang... Amy
Based upon the hit manga and anime series, these two live action Attack on Titan movies boast intense action and a
fresh take on the themes seen in the source material. After the sudden arrival of voracious gigantic beings known as the
Titans, humanity is plunged into chaos as it struggles to contend with the towering invaders. 100 years after their initial
appearance, the threat of the Titans has been mitigated somewhat by giant barriers that protect the last human survivors.
Childhood friends Eren and Mikasa reside in the relative safety of the gated community until a Titan manages to break
through the wall, forcing them to take one last stand with the fate of humanity itself hanging in the balance. Sean

There’s a bunch of full-throttle time-twisting thrills in the second season of one of TV’s best new shows. This season zips
back and forth between Earth 1 – the universe in which The Flash is primarily set - and Earth 2, which features alternate
versions of the characters we know and love, as well as some who we’re not so fond of. An evil speedster named Zoom
has broken through into our world, with plans to steal The Flash’s speed – and destroy mankind! But with the help of
visiting Earth 2 hero Jay Garrick, and the real Dr Harrison Wells (not the fake one who terrorised the crew in season one),
the team of Star Labs pool their resources, determined to send the speedy scoundrel back from whence he came. Clint

Oliver and friends face a deadly new enemy this season in the form of supernatural crook Damien Darhk, the leader of HIVE
and a former member of the League of Assassins. He’s causing chaos for the newly-engaged Oliver and Felicity, who were
preparing to cut down on their crime-fighting and look to a more relaxed future. Darhk isn’t just out to cause chaos for
the city, however, for he’s also targeting Oliver and his alter-ego Green Arrow, with his actions ultimately resulting in a tragic
loss for the good guys. Meanwhile, Malcolm Merlyn (John Barrowman, Torchwood) settles into his new role at the top of the
League of Assassins as the new Ra's al Ghul, and Constantine swings by to help Team Arrow topple their latest foe. Clint

GENRE Horror/Sci-Fi • RATING CTC • IF YOU LIKED Z Nation
Rick Grimes and his ever dwindling band of survivors are back for the sixth season of the smash hit series, trying their
best to eke out an existence in a world decimated by the zombie apocalypse. Finding sanctuary in Alexandria, Rick has
been elevated to the position of protector for much of the community, staging missions to lure away hordes of walkers
and repelling attacks by hostile survivors known as the Wolves. After walkers manage to overrun the community and kill
multiple residents, Rick realises that the entire community needs to band together if they stand any chance of surviving.
Seeking out food supplies from another nearby group of survivors located in Hilltop, Rick offers up his services as a
mercenary and stages an attack on a compound housing the Saviours, who’ve been extorting the people of Hilltop.
However, little does he realise that his actions to help save the Alexandrians will inadvertently place them all at risk as the
Saviours’ brutal leader, Negan (Jeffrey Dean Morgan, Watchmen), seeks out revenge for the attack... Showing no signs of
slowing down, The Walking Dead’s sixth season further expands upon the moral decay afflicting the survivors, particularly
Rick’s struggle to remain a decent man in an indecent world. Sean

The minds behind the American Horror Story franchise
unveil what went on during the most compelling crime
capers, with this first season covering the controversial OJ
Simpson trial. Despite evidence that linked OJ to a double
homicide, celebrity lawyer Johnnie Cochran (Courtney B
Vance, Law & Order: Criminal Intent) convinced the jury
that police framed OJ because of his race. Of course,
both sides of this argument went nuts, sparking riots
nationally... Cuba Gooding Jr is incredible as OJ, joined by
legal eagles David Schwimmer (Friends) and John Travolta
(Pulp Fiction). We see how the whole case was put
together despite the tensions, suicide attempt and more
controversy than we were ever remotely aware of. Conrad
The last time we saw Thomas Shelby (Cillian Murphy, The
Dark Knight) he was preparing himself for his inevitable
death. The British Government forced him to carry out a
covert mission and he knew that Major Chester Campbell
(Sam Neill, The Daughter) would do everything in his
power to ensure that Tommy wouldn’t get out alive. We
were prepared to say goodbye to our beloved character
when he was on his knees ready to meet his maker, only
to find out that Mr Churchill decided to spare his life.
But, of course, nothing is free... In this season we realise
that even though Tommy is a father and husband, and
his ideas for the future of the company raised the Shelby
family’s social status, the fight is far from over. Emilia
Supernatural needs no introduction, now up to its
eleventh season and showing no signs of slowing down.
Faithful followers will be thrilled to know that much-loved
characters return, including the Winchester brothers,
for arguably the best season yet. It follows Sam (Jared
Padalecki) and Dean (Jensen Ackles), accompanied by
their allies, who find themselves fighting the most powerful
supernatural force that they’ve ever encountered – and
that’s saying something! This season has been highly
anticipated by fans, and with an enthralling new threat and
compelling storylines you’ll be hooked before you know it.
The darkness has arrived and who knows what it will do?
Of course there’s only one way to find out! Krysten
Blending a gripping story of the supernatural with the
chilling backdrop of the brutal Salem witch hunts, this
is sure to scratch your horror itch. Set in 17th century
Massachusetts, the government of the time is made
up of superstitious and hysterical Puritans hell-bent on
ridding their lands of evil by hunting and killing socalled witches. One such witch, Mary Sibley, is the most
powerful sorceress in Salem, and seeks to advance her
agenda while avoiding persecution at the hands of the
government. However, matters are complicated when a
lost love interest returns, plunging Mary’s plans into turmoil
and threatening her grip on the throne... Salem is a horror
delight that’s absolutely perfect for binge viewing. Scott

When oily lawyer Saul Goodman was given his own series
many were just happy to reconnect with the Breaking Bad
universe. After experiencing the first season, however,
it quickly dawned that this was more than just another
spinoff, as Better Call Saul was brilliant. When we left Saul
– aka Jimmy McGill - he’d been offered a gig by law firm
Davis & Main. Upon catching up now, he’s decided to turn
the offer down and leave the world of law, confounding
Kim. The pair still have a blast of a night out however – can
Kim change Jimmy’s mind? If she does, of course, there’s
Saul’s brother Chuck and his lack of brotherly support to
contend with... Even stronger than season one, if you’re
after top notch TV then hey, Better Call Saul! Amy
The exciting Blindspot focuses on a tattoed young woman
who’s completely lost her memory. FBI investigators soon
realise that each tattoo on her body contains a clue to
crimes that they’ll have to solve in order to progress the
case. Jaimie Alexander is ‘Jane Doe’, the young woman
kept in FBI protective custody as they investigate her
identity and try to decipher the inked messages. Due to
her wide variety of combat and language skills, suspicions
are that Jane may be a former Navy SEAL, whose identity
has been kept secret because of a special operation...
Australia’s Sullivan Stapleton (Strike Back) plays an FBI
agent who’s called into the investigation when his name is
mysteriously found tattooed on Jane’s body. Clint
He’s one of the most likeable blokes on the planet. He’s
hilarious Scotsman Billy Connolly, and it may surprise you
to learn that he’s spent almost half of his life in America.
Realising that he’d scarcely scratched the surface of what
the country has to offer in the places you tend to fly over,
Billy decided to rectify matters. This three-part series
sees him taking the train from Chicago to New York, a trip
which would normally be around 700 miles. Instead, he
does it the “wrong way round”, clackity-clacking some
6,000 miles through 26 states. We’re privy to meetings
with everybody from cowboys to the homeless and
Elvis fans to frog princesses, all met with that uniquely
humorous and eminently lovable Billy style. Amy
The classic ’80s miniseries is updated courtesy of some
of today’s greatest actors and filmmakers. A historical
portrait of American slavery that recounts the journey
of one family and their will to survive and carry on their
legacy despite hardship, Roots comes to life with a new
vision that’s inspiring and undeniably entertaining. Malachi
Kirby is amazing as Kunta Kinte, a young educated man
sold into slavery who challenges his fellow slaves to
stand up for their freedom. The all-star cast also includes
Jonathan Rhys Meyers, Forest Whittaker, Laurence
Fishburne, Anna Paquin and James Purefoy, while the
directorial roster includes Aussies Bruce Beresford (Driving
Miss Daisy) and Phillip Noyce (Dead Calm). Clint

Set in the music industry, but not to be confused with the
very different movie Empire Records, this superbly-made
and attitude-fuelled drama about the head of a hip-hop
record label and his struggles with his sons, his ex-wife
and a bunch of rather dangerous people is compelling
stuff. There’s a level of authenticity here that’s missing
from many other music biz dramas, with a brilliant cast
led by Terence Howard as label mogul Lucious, who
at the start of this fresh season is locked up in prison,
trying to run his label from the inside and venturing into
the new world of streaming music. This won’t end well...

IF YOU LIKED Escape from Planet Earth
Created by a duo who had Two and a Half Men and
Dharma & Greg on their sitcom resumes, Big Bang
seemed like a pretty sketchy idea at first. Loaded with
nerd humour and celebrating all things geeky, it turned
up just at the right time, as the rise of the internet made
the idea of a comedy starring a group of comic-reading,
sci-fi-loving science geeks a word-of-mouth hit. Now up
to its ninth season, we pick up with Penny trying to come
to terms with Leonard’s naïve confession that he’s kissed
another girl. Sheldon, meanwhile, is a ball of stress (well,
more than usual) after his own relationship is put on hold.
The jokes come thick and fast as always − yes, the spark
is still here in abundance. Anthony
We’ve all played it on our mobiles, our consoles, and maybe
even our toasters (OK, we’re being silly there). Yes, Angry
Birds has been everywhere for years now, but have any
of us ever wondered why the birds are so grumpy? In The
Angry Birds Movie we meet Red, Chuck and Bomb before
they’d encountered the piggies from the games. All the
flightless birds are living happily on their own island, except
for our three friends, as for different reasons they aren’t
super popular. But when mysterious green piggies visit
that seem friendly at first but turn out to be rather nasty, it’s
these three birds who turn into heroes to save Bird Island –
and its future population - from their greedy invaders. Yes,
it’s Red, Chuck and Bomb time, and it rocks! Amy
One of the coolest duos in videogames history jump from
our PlayStations to our movie players (well, unless you
watch it on your PlayStation!) in this tale of the origins of
Ratchet and Clank. As you probably know, Ratchet is a
Lombax, and one who’s super-keen to join Captain Qwark’s
peacekeeping forces, the Galactic Rangers. When Qwark
visits Ratchet’s home planet Veldin our furry friend thinks
that he’s in with a shot, but he’s turned down. Meanwhile,
super-clever robot Clank escapes from a warbot factory on
planet Quartu, hoping to warn the Rangers of evil Chairman
Drek’s plans to destroy entire planets. This leads him to
Veldin, where he meets Ratchet, they team up and then
set out to save the universe − Qwark or not. Go team!
