The World’s End is a British science fiction comedy film directed by Edgar Wright. The final film of the ‘Three Flavours Cornetto’ trilogy (following on from 2004’s Shaun of the Dead and 2007’s Hot Fuzz), the film stars Simon Pegg as Gary King, an alcoholic ‘free spirit’ who never grew up. When Gary decides he wants to complete the Golden Mile (a 12 pint pub crawl that he didn’t get to finish as a teenager), he tracks down his old school friends Peter (Eddie Marsan), Oliver ‘O-Man’ (Martin Freeman), Steven (Paddy Considine) and Andrew (Nick Frost) and convinces them to return to their sleepy hometown of Newton Haven. Upon arrival they discover that not much has changed… apart from the fact that most of the population has been replaced by alien robots!

Screwed by Eoin Colfer (Artemis Fowl) is the follow-up to the critically acclaimed Plugged, which Alternative Magazine Online awarded Book of the Year 2011 and described as “an action packed, hilariously dark thriller with plenty of mystery to spare”. Former bouncer and ex-army sergeant Daniel McEvoy returns in a sequel that will once again see him facing the dark – and often darkly humorous – New Jersey underworld, fighting bent cops, hired muscle and a vengeful crime boss as he tries to survive to at least see the grand re-opening of his club.
