“Good Omens” Gets Renewed Two Years After Finale

In a twist that we never expected, Amazon has renewed “Good Omens” for a second season after a two-years after season one’s finale. Two reasons that it’s so surprising is that the series was first billed as limited series and another, the first season covered the entire novel it’s based upon. Co-written by Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchet, the new season will deliver a fresh story about the supernatural duo of Michael Sheen‘s (“Masters of Sex”) angel Aziraphale and David Tennant’s (“Doctor Who”) Crowley and their involvement in the apocalypse and with humanity. Both are returning. The new six-episode season will begin production later this year in Scotland and will stream exclusively on Amazon with its premiere likely in 2022. We’ll keep you posted.

Movie Review: Slaughterhouse Rulez Has The Makings Of New Cult Classic

I hate getting my hopes up when it comes to movies, I’m often let down. Luckily, that isn’t the case with Slaughterhouse Rulez. I’ve been excited about director Crispin Mills’ horror comedy since the moment I first saw the trailer. Finally, I watched it and I’m happy to report that it’s the best horror comedy I’ve seen in years. The twisted humor in this movie will keep you laughing until you’re splitting at the seems. And the action will keep you on the edge of your seat. When it comes to gore, by god this movie is oozing with it. Star Simon Pegg delivers a fine performance as an awkward heartbroken teacher, reminiscent of his character in the classic Shaun of the Dead. Speaking of Shaun of the Dead, Pegg’s co-star Nick Frost joins him and plays the part of a former student turned activist protesting the nearby fracking site. As always, his rough around the edges charm doesn’t disappoint.

Movie Review: Netflix’s Original Film ‘Apostle’ Is Simply Brilliant

Corruption, greed, envy, perversion, murder, all stand prominent in Netflix‘s feature film Apostle, from writer-director Gareth Evans (The Raid). In this dark, twisted, supernatural tale Thomas Richardson (Dan Stevens) journeys to the island where a cult is holding his sister hostage, on a mission to bring her home. The prophet Malcolm, played by Michael Sheen, rules his followers with an iron fist and the congregation believes his every word, going so far as to give their blood as a sacrifice, which he uses to feed the god he and the other two founders have bound in chains, though the colony is unaware of her presence. While Thomas secretly searches for his sister he stumbles across the truth behind the colony’s religion and it’s frightening. But what is more disturbing is how far the men that rule the island will go to keep their power and how quickly they turn on each other and their own families. The worst part of
