Five for Friday. Our weekly recommendations #2

The second of our five for friday recommendations list.

That's not to say we are saying everything recommended is going to be amazing, but pre event, pre screening etcetera, they all look good.

First up is
Rough Night
It looks like the gross styled comedy update of a female cast Weekend at Bernies.
And Jillian Bell is in it who we think is damned funny. She's got a potty mouth.


The House
More hilarity may be on the cards - get it - with The House.
Comedies such as this have been getting savaged by critics for a while now, but audiences are still enjoying themselves.
Thankfully our standards arent so high as the critics and this looks to be shaping up to be a laugh out loud movie going experience.


Kingsman 2; The Golden Circle
If this one is a turkey then we are going to be having some serious words with somebody.
It might be you.
Just irrationally ranting at you because the first was so good and we will need someone to vent at. Mathew Vaughn. Don't fuck this up. Seriously. Consider this a warning.

Sleeping Beauties - Stephen and Owen King

And this one is quite away off with a release date for September, but for fans of Stephen King it could be worth pre ordering it just now. Waterstones and Amazon both have the hardback at £10

As the women of the world sleep, the world awakens to a new and frightening reality…

In a future so real and near it might be now, something happens when women go to sleep; they become shrouded in a cocoon-like gauze.

If they are awakened, if the gauze wrapping their bodies is disturbed or violated, the women become feral and spectacularly violent; and while they sleep they go to another place…

The men of our world are abandoned, left to their increasingly primal devices. One woman, however, the mysterious Evie, is immune to the blessing or curse of the sleeping disease. Is Evie a medical anomaly to be studied? Or is she a demon who must be slain?

Set in a small Appalachian town whose primary employer is a women's prison, Sleeping Beauties is a wildly provocative, gloriously absorbing novel. Although Stephen has collaborated before, notably with Peter Straub for the bestselling novels The Talisman and Black House, this is the first full-length collaboration between father and son writing partnership, Stephen King and Owen King.

and for the gig going connoisseur there is something wicked this way a coming.

It's the Urban Voodoo Machine who are rolling into Edinburgh to fill the Bannermans stage on Sunday the 18th of June.
Be advised to patch work on the Monday.
Take a holiday, It will be worth it as you will need the day to recover after the band give you their all and demand the same in retrun from those attending.
Gypsy soaked blues, jazzy rock and roll, a debauched circus band on a wine and amphetamine binge.
Say what you want about them, but never say that you will not be entertained.
