Sunday night is movie night. Always.
Even before these difficult times, Sunday was always a good night to settle on the couch and enjoy a movie.
And if that’s your plan for the night, and you’ve completed Netflix over the past couple of weeks, here are the best choices on offer.
Cocoon – Film4 – 4.25pm
1985 sci-fi comedy starring Steve Guttenberg and Don Ameche, about a group of retirees who find mysterious objects in the sea.
The Huntsman: Winter’s War – Film4 – 6.50pm
Dark fairy-tale action-adventure starring Chris Hemsworth, Jessica Chastain, Charlize Theron and Emily Blunt.
Fantastic Four – E4 – 7pm
A decent superhero movie that sadly didn’t become one of the biggest movies of all time, which has since become the trend.
Hot Pursuit – RTÉ2 – 9pm
Buddy comedy starring Reese Witherspoon and Sofia Vergera, if you’re in the mood for something light.
The Interview – Comedy Central – 9pm
Seth Rogen and James Franco star in this hilariously controversial comedy, where Franco’s character is given the opportunity to both interview and assassinate Kim Jong-Un.
The Outlaw Josey Wales – TCM Movies – 9pm
Directed by and starring Clint Eastwood, Josey Wales is a peaceful farmer until his family is murdered, and his farm is destroyed. Understandably, he is out for VENGEANCE.
Out of the Furnace – Film4 – 11.10pm
Crime thriller starring Christian Bale and Casey Affleck. Decent, if you’re staying up late…
