If you haven’t read Preacher in the past, then AMC’s new adaptation may be a… bit hard to keep up with. The first episode alone was a brutal, blasphemous affair that introduced us to washed-out preacher Jesse, his ex, the nail-bomb-building Tulip and of course, drunken Irish vampire Cassidy.

He Never Died – Movie Review
Henry Rollins is a fascinating, and frankly inspiring man. Raconteur, traveller, musician, poet, author, TV presenter and occasional actor, so it’s nice to see him finally step into a lead role with He Never Died, although the results are…. mixed.

Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice – Movie Review
Batman V Superman is a bad movie but I loved every second of it. But then again, I own a pair of Batman and Robin bookends so make of that what you will.

Zootropolis (or Zootopia, whatever) – Movie Review
Zootopia is an impressive movie. It looks gorgeous, with fluidly smooth CGI visuals, eye-popping action and it works on so many operational levels.
