Some crackers on today, including two of the greatest family movies of the 21st century.

Sundays are essentially made for staying on the couch, right? Especially Sundays in December. Chill out before going back to work/college/whatever tomorrow, and enjoy one or several of these today: SUNDAY 2 DECEMBER The Incredibles - Channel 4 - 5.25pm This summer's sequel made a stonking $1.24 billion at the worldwide box office, but the original still stands up as the ever so slightly better movie, thanks to an incred- eh, amazing mix of comedy and action. The Grinch - ITV2 - 5.40pm Jim Carrey gives it everything in this live-action version of the infamous tale, and he really goes all-in on the dark jokes and physical humour. Zoolander - Comedy Central - 7.20pm Ben Stiller is one of the world's most beautiful people, but also one of the dumbest, who gets caught up in a plot to assassinate a politician who wants to stop sweatshop factories. Still as funny today as it was when it was released 17 years ago. (Feeling old yet?) Two Weeks Notice - RTE Two - 9.00pm Hugh Grant stars as the hugely rich businessman who takes total advantage of his assistant Sandra Bullock, until she decides she needs to start living her own life and tells him she is quitting. But guess what? He might actually realise that he doesn't just want her as an assistant. A very cute rom-com. Vanilla Sky - SyFy - 9.00pm Tom Cruise plays a New York City publishing magnate who finds himself on an unexpected roller-coaster ride of romance, comedy, suspicion, love, sex and dreams in a mind-bending search for his soul. Cameron Diaz, Penelope Cruz, and Kurt Russell co-star in this mind-melt of a movie that as many people will love as they will hate. The Martian - Film Four - 9.00pm Matt Damon is an astronaut who gets left behind on Mars when everything thinks he was killed in an accident. So he needs to figure out how to survive several hundred days until a rescue mission comes back to get him. Very entertaining sci-fi-action-comedy. Training Day - ITV4 - 11.20pm King Kong ain't got shit on Denzel in this dark cop thriller which sees department newbie Ethan Hawke taken under the twisted wing of a more experience detective (Washington).
