There aren’t many good reasons to keep track of what day it is anymore.
You want to know which days you have to log in to Zoom or Microsoft Teams, which day your milk expires and which day which movies are on TV. That’s about it.
There are some really one good ones on tonight (23 April), so you don’t want to get confused.
The LEGO Batman Movie – ITV2 – 5.55pm
Sure, it doesn’t match the gritty realism of the Chris Nolan Batman movies, but otherwise it’s actually one of the better parts of the Batman franchise. We’d take it over Ben Affleck’s portrayal anyway.
The Breakfast Club – Sky Comedy – 9pm
Five teenagers are trapped in detention together for a whole day and learn so much about each other, and themselves. I’m emotional just thinking about it.
Rocky IV – ITV4 – 9pm
Ah, the 80s. When the only thing that stood in our way was super-human Communist boxers. A simpler time. This is the one where Rocky fights Ivan Drago, in case that’s not clear.
Sneakers – Sky Witness – 10pm
A comedy-thriller about hacking and blackmail with an unbelievably stacked casted. We’re talking Robert Redford, Ben Kingsley, Dan Aykroyd, River Phoenix, Sidney Poitier — Jesus Christ, couldn’t they have got these guys to do a serious film?
Assassination Games – SyFy – 10pm
A lot of action and fighting, starring Jean-Claude van Damme.
Me, Myself and Irene – Comedy Central – 00.30am
Jim Carrey going hard on the Jim Carrey juice. He’s got a split-personality in this one, which actually doesn’t differentiate it all that much from Bruce Almighty, The Mask, Man on the Moon or Liar Liar. Or Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, for that matter.
Oh well. It’s what he’s good at.
