Denzel Washington or Hugh Jackman? Ron Burgandy or Thor, Son Of Odin? Decisions, decisions…
If you’re in a movie mood, here are two options we recommend.
One: go to the cinema to watch either Ralph Breaks The Internet or Creed 2.
Two: watch one of these on the TV tonight:
MONDAY 3 DECEMBER
X-Men: Days Of Future Past – FilmFour – 6.20pm
The best of the three prequel X-Men movies (First Class was good, Apocalypse was terrible), this was the one that had mutants wiped out in the distant future, so Wolverine is sent back in time to take out the man who set their destruction in motion.
Dark Shadows – SyFy – 9.00pm
Johnny Depp, Eva Green, Michelle Pfeiffer, Helena Bonham Carter, Johnny Lee Miller, and Chloe Grace Moretz star in Tim Burton’s take on a dysfunctional family, except the members of this family are all legitimate monsters, who need to put their vampire-y thirsts to one side if they are to survive.
Thor – FilmFour – 9.00pm
Not as good as Ragnarok, but WAY better than The Dark World, this was the Thor that felt very Shakespearean (probably due to director Kenneth Branagh), but between the perfect casting of Chris Hemsworth and his natural chemistry with Natalie Portman, this was still a lot of fun. Plus this is where we were introduced to the MCU’s best villain, Loki.
Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues – TG4 – 9.30pm
The sequel that wasn’t as funny as the original, but is still funnier than you remember it being. For every joke that just felt like a bigger recycled version of what came before (the big celebrity scrap in a public place), there is a great new joke, like when Ron gets outrageously awkward when visiting his new girlfriend’s family.
Inside Man – ITV4 – 11.05pm
Denzel Washington and Chiwetel Ejiofar play detectives trying to solve a bank robbery, Clive Owen is the genius who is pulling off the heist, and Jodie Foster is the shady lady between them all trying to keep some secrets kept hidden. A fantastic thriller.
LISTEN: You Must Be Jokin’ with Aideen McQueen – Faith healers, Coolock craic and Gigging as Gaeilge
