You get to choose between Batman and Bond.
Heading to the cinema this Bank Holiday Monday? Then head to our movie show The Big Reviewski, where we’ve reviewed the latest releases, and recommend what you should check out, and what you should definitely avoid:
However, if you’re finding yourself couch-bound after the weekend – and the weather is just erratic enough to make that a possibility – then we’ve also picked the best movies to watch on the TV.
MONDAY 4 JUNE
Babe – Be3 – 10:30
The talking pig who won our hearts. Still arguably one of the greatest family movies ever made.
Casper – TV3 – 14:00
The friendly ghost who won our hearts. Nobody is arguing that it was one of the greatest family movies ever made, but it is still a lot of fun.
Batman Begins – TV3 – 21:00
Before he became The Dark Knight, he had to start somewhere. And for Bruce Wayne, that somewhere involved getting beaten up by Liam Neeson and then getting poisoned by Cillian Murphy. Why do the Irish have it in for Batman??
Pitch Black – Sky One – 21:00
Vin Diesel plays a space-criminal who is one of a handful of survivors of a spaceship craft on a hostile planet filled with aliens that only come out at night. However, there is a weeks-long eclipse on the horizon…
Hard Rain – SyFy – 21:00
Christian Slater, Morgan Freeman, Randy Quaid and Minnie Driver star in this bonkers action thriller about a heist in a small town bank that goes horribly wrong when a sudden flood threatens to wash the entire small town off the map.
Skyfall – RTÉ One – 21:30
Bond is good again! Daniel Craig really steps it up as a damaged 007 who is forced to push himself to his limits when a terrorist arrives with a very personal mission.
Stand By Me – Universal – 22:00
When Stephen King wasn’t busy scaring us all senseless, he was making us feel all the feelings. This coming of age story about a group of young teenage boys heading off on a life-changing adventure together is what nostalgia is made of!
LISTEN: You Must Be Jokin’ with Aideen McQueen – Faith healers, Coolock craic and Gigging as Gaeilge
