It’s Thursday.
We’re closing in on the weekend and even though the weather isn’t promised great today, there’s still some good movies on TV to sink your teeth into.
There’s a wide selection and more than one good horror movie on TV so if you fancy a scare, you’re in a bit of luck.
Here’s the pick of what’s on.
The Day the Earth Stood Still – Film4 – 6.55pm
Keanu Reeves was making this type of movie before John Wick revived his career.
The Babadook – SyFy – 9pm
A terrifying horror which relies more on genuine horror rather than cheap jump scares.
Dirty Dancing – Comedy Central – 9pm
Apparently, nobody puts baby in a corner.
Get Out – Film4 – 9pm
Jordan Peele is a good director.
Land Without God – RTÉ One – 10.10pm
An intimate portrait of a family coming to terms with decades of institutional abuse, and the impact it has had and continues to have on their lives.
The Magnificent Seven – ITV4 – 10pm
Outlaws band together to protect a town.
It’s the remake of a remake, so there’s no surprises in this heavy-handed attempt to capture the original’s magic.
40 Days and 40 Nights – Comedy Central – 11pm
A man vows to remain celibate during Lent.
Another egregious early noughties comedy to add to the list.
LISTEN: You Must Be Jokin’ with Aideen McQueen – Faith healers, Coolock craic and Gigging as Gaeilge
