Midweek movies – the cause of, and solution to, all of life’s problems.
Ah, Wednesday.
It’s not quite Monday. It’s definitely not quite the weekend.
It is midweek limbo, my friends.
A good night to curl up on the couch, forget those troubles and watch a movie or two.
Here are your at-home cinematic choices on this Wednesday 14 November…
Inception – SyFy – 9pm
Leonardo DiCaprio struggles to comprehend the meaning of a spinning top.
Eraser – ITV4 – 9pm
A vintage VHS-era Arnie vehicle that might deserve more love than it got at the time.
His one-liner after gunning down an alligator is one that should be shouted far and wide until the end of time.
Paul – ITV2 – 9pm
Simon Pegg and Nick Frost do what they do best; team up for a wacky adventure.
Your mileage may vary on this stoner alien outing, though.
This Is 40 – Film 4 – 10.50pm
Paul Rudd and Leslie Mann head up the kind of comedy drama designed to both trigger and soothe an existential crisis.
Swordfish – TCM – 11.15pm
It’s a battle of the terrible turn-of-the-century haircuts as computer hacker Hugh Jackman and wildly obnoxiously scenery-chewing terrorist John Travolta face off in a bizarrely overproduced actioner.
Howl’s Moving Castle – Film 4 – 1.35am
Typically vivid animation affair from the mind of master storyteller Hayao Miyazaki.
LISTEN: You Must Be Jokin’ with Aideen McQueen – Faith healers, Coolock craic and Gigging as Gaeilge
