It's Saturday and there are some fantastic films on today.
Or Saturdaze as the kids say these days. But I prefer Saturday. It's serious because Saturdays and movies on TV are serious business.
And here in JOE we take them
seriously gravely earnestly solemnly...
Let's take a look at what movies are on TV this evening.
12 Years A Slave - Channel 4 - 9pm
Powerful, unflinching drama featuring an astounding performance from Chiwetel Ejiofor.
Dirty Grandpa - E4 - 9pm
A truly terrible movie.
Saving Private Ryan - Sky One - 9pm
Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg. If you haven't seen it, watch it.
First Blood - ITV4 - 9pm
John Rambo is a violent man.
Layer Cake - Film4 - 9pm
Before he was Bond, Daniel Craig turned heads in this gritty and quite convoluted London crime drama.
Inside I'm Dancing - TG4 - 9.15pm
You probably watched it in secondary school. James McAvoy stars in this film about two men who fight to overcome disabilities and live exciting, independent lives.
Bridge of Spies - RTÉ2 - 9.20pm
Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg. If that isn't enough to convince you then there's no point saying any more.
The Meg - RTÉ One - 9.35pm
Described by JOE as the "
greatest movie of all time... for about three minutes".
Yardie - BBC Two - 9.45pm
In Idris Elba's feature directing debut, this tells the story of a Jamaican immigrant in London who becomes consumed with avenging the murder of his older brother.
Terminator 2: Judgement Day - UTV - 10.45pm
"I need your clothes, boots and your motorcycle."
10 Cloverfield Lane - Film4 - 11.10pm
John Goodman is incredibly scary in this tense thriller.
The Patriot - RTÉ2 - 11.40pm
