Staying in tonight?
Because if you are, you’re gonna need to watch a movie.
Either that or watch The Late Late Show.
We know you’ll be doing one of the two…
Here’s what we’re dealing with on the movie front.
Den of Thieves – 9pm – Virgin Media One
An action-packed crime drama about police trying to stop a criminal gang from stealing 120 million dollars from the Federal Reserve Bank. A bit meh.
Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer – 9pm – E4
Who doesn’t love a superhero movie of a Friday night?
Selma – 10pm – RTÉ2
The story of Martin Luther King Junior and a particularly crucial three-month period in his extraordinary life. Directed by the magnificent Ava DuVernay, who made When They See Us and 13th.
The Lone Ranger – 10.45pm – BBC One
A lawyer (Armie Hammer) is left for dead after an ambush in which his Texas ranger brother is killed, but is saved by a mysterious Native American fugitive (Johnny Depp). Also stars the brilliant Helena Bonham-Carter.
The Irish Pub – 10.55pm – TG4
A celebration of Irish public houses and the people who run them. Because there isn’t enough talk about pubs these days…
Jackass Presents: Bad Grandpa – 11.15pm – TCM
A hidden camera comedy film that is not suitable for kids. Not AT ALL.
The Drop – Channel4 – 12.05am
A very decent movie starring Tom Hardy, Noomi Rapace and James Gandolfini in his final film role. Well worth a watch if you’re staying up late tonight.
LISTEN: You Must Be Jokin’ with Aideen McQueen – Faith healers, Coolock craic and Gigging as Gaeilge
