Take a breather before the weekend begins proper and enjoy one of these crackers.

A great mix of flicks to choose from tonight.

Action, horror, action… eh… more action, and finally, a super heavy drama.

Enjoy!

FRIDAY 7 DECEMBER

Source Code – ITV4 – 9.00pm

Jake Gyllenhaal is an average guy forced into a government machine that forces him to relive the same few minutes over and over again, leading up to a terrorist attack that killed hundreds of people. A mind-bending sci-fi action thriller.

World War Z – Film Four – 9.00pm

A zombie outbreak is killing most of the people on the planet, and only Brad Pitt can save us! A better-than-anyone-expected horror epic that finds Pitt travelling the world in search of a cure, which always results in him getting caught up in new terrors along the way.

Executive Decision – TCM – 9.00pm

Kurt Russell and Steven Seagal are forced to work together to save a plane that has been hijacked by terrorists, and Halle Berry is the stewardess on board who might be able to help. A great, slow-burner twist on the usually action packed sub-genre.

Rocky II – RTE Two – 9.30pm

We are sure that this has nothing to do with the recent cinematic release of Creed II. Nope, nothing at all.

Mammal – Virgin Media One – 10.30pm

Rachel Griffiths is a grieving mother who finds herself getting involved with a homeless youth (Barry Keoghan), but their burgeoning relationship is threatened by her angry husband (Michael McElhatton) and a violent gang.
