'Happy!' -  Be glad we have pills for this sort of thing!!

Ok get your tranquillisers, put your therapist on speed dial, pad your front room and get ready for 'Happy', cos you're going to need that level of sedation after you watch this trailer!

Where to start really? in the first few seconds the main protagonist, played by Chris Meloni uses two guns to blow his brains out, in what I can only imagine is not the first time he's tried this, because we quickly learn that he is immortal - but wait, that's not the weird part, ho no, that comes next, in the form of a flying pastel unicorn, that it seems only he can see - this unicorn is turnt! That’s all I can say!!

Based on Grant Morrison and Darick Robertson’s graphic novel, the series follows Nick Sax, Christopher Meloni,  – an alcoholic, corrupt ex-cop turned hit man, who's life is turned upside down after a hit gone wrong by a tiny, annoyingly positive, pastel blue winged unicorn named Happy. Sounds mental? Looks mental, is mental!

So, get yourselves the right level of sedation and tune in to SYFY cos its out now!   

'I am not a Witch' - Rungano Nyoni

In this touching and heartbreaking story that sadly is not uncommon in certain parts of the world, nine-year-old Shula, played by Margaret Mulubwa, is accused of being a witch and forced to make a choice: accept her supernatural accusation and live a restricted life as a sorceress, or be transformed into a goat that may be killed and eaten by her village.

The film, a debut feature by Rungano Nyoni’s, was inspired by her own encounters with witchcraft in Ghana, following stories from village to town, eventually becoming one of the first foreigners to sleep in a witch camp, witnessing first hand the lives of women who's destiny is transformed by little more than hearsay, to create a charming and delicate film, that is both magical and tragic in equal measure.
