It’s Tuesday.
And it’s grim out there, folks.
All these Government announcements and restrictions sure can make the ‘ol head spin.
Shut it all down for an hour or three with a movie or two, you say?
Great idea. Here’s the most intriguing options on the box on Tuesday, 16 November…
Finding Your Feet – Film4 – 9pm
Spiky UK romantic comedy in which an upper-class woman is forced to slum it after she discovers that her husband is having an affair.
Swordfish – Turner Classic Movies / TCM – 9pm
A ridiculous turn-of-the-century film that features John Travolta – as an evil cyber-terrorist sporting one of the worst haircuts of his entire career – going up against Hugh Jackman’s frosted-tipped super-hacker.
Seriously, this is a ludicrous movie. And thus, it’s our chief recommend tonight!
The Lord of the Rings: Return of the King – Sky Showcase – 9pm
The third one.
Sudden Death – ITV4 – 10pm
A perfectly acceptable Die Hard knock-off finds humble security guard Jean-Claude Van Damme attempting to fend off ruthless bad guys at an ice hockey game.
Full Metal Jacket – TCM – 11.10pm
War is indeed hell in Stanley Kubrick’s acclaimed two-hander.
Bad Neighbours 2 – Film4 – 11.15pm
Seth Rogen and Rose Byrne deal, once more, with a difficult neighbour situation.
LISTEN: You Must Be Jokin’ with Aideen McQueen – Faith healers, Coolock craic and Gigging as Gaeilge
