Movies on TV

It’s Tuesday.

Sometimes, on days like today, it’s nice to just switch off from the world and watch some funny movies on TV to unwind.

We can guarantee if that’s what you’re looking for, there are some movies that will fit the bill on TV this evening.

Here’s the pick of what’s on…

The Maze Runner – Film4 – 6.50pm

A group of teenagers wake up in the middle of a maze, with no memory of how they got there, and no idea of how to get out.

Think of it as a variation of The Hunger Games.

Crocodile Dundee – E4 – 9pm

“That’s not a knife.”

Paul Hogan in the only role you know him for as he plays a crocodile poacher who goes to New York and falls in love with a journalist.

Fish-out-of-water comedy.

The Naked Gun: From the Files of Police Squad! – Comedy Central – 9pm

It’s no Airplane!, but it’s damn close. Leslie Nielsen reinforces his comedic genius.

Star Trek – Film 4 – 9pm 

The first of the reboot series starring Chris Pine in the lead and a very decent movie overall.

Rotten Tomatoes gives it 94%.

Did we mention that Karl Urban and John Cho are really sound fellas? Because they are…

LISTEN: You Must Be Jokin’ with Aideen McQueen – Faith healers, Coolock craic and Gigging as Gaeilge
