Pickings on Irish TV are of the slim variety today unfortunately.
It’s Tuesday… we think.
The days blend together without distinction after a certain point but here are some of the best movies on TV today.
No movies on Irish channels, so we’ve had to look further afield.
Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer – 8pm – E4
It’s better than the first one. But that’s from a very low base.
Contraband – 10pm – Sky One
Mark Wahlberg must return to smuggling for one last job *shakes fist at sky* in order to protect his family.
83% of Google users liked the movie and so did I.
Frost/Nixon – 9pm – Sky Atlantic
This got amazing reviews, and currently sits at 93% on Rotten Tomatoes. It’s no 83% of Google users liking it but I guess we can trust Rotten Tomatoes… for now.
Nanny McPhee and the Big Bang – 5.50pm – ITV2
The kids will love it.
Rambo: First Blood Part II – 9pm – ITV4
Rambo gets out of jail to save POWs in Vietnam. Blows stuff up.
Gangster Squad – 11.05pm – ITV4
A great cast in this good versus bad gangster action/drama.
R.I.P.D. – 10pm – SyFy
Ooof.
The Gambler – 9pm – Film4
A remake of James Toback’s 1974 drama which misses the mark.
Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story – 11.15 – Film 4
Vince Vaughn at his peak. Ben Stiller is also great.
LISTEN: You Must Be Jokin’ with Aideen McQueen – Faith healers, Coolock craic and Gigging as Gaeilge
