Stuck for something to do this evening?

Of course you’re stuck for something to do this evening.

Maybe one of these films tickles your fancy.

Disturbia – Film4 – 9pm 

Violent horror movie starring a teenage Shia LaBeouf. Quite scary, if you’re into that sort of thing.

Taken 2 – E4 – 9pm

Very particular set of skills, and so on. It seems like this movie is on TV a lot, but it’s a decent watch in fairness.

Dirty Harry – 9.15pm – TCM Movies 

Clint Eastwood at his very best. “You’ve got to ask yourself one question: ‘Do I feel lucky? ‘ Well do ya, punk?”

The 40-Year-Old Virgin – Sky One – 9.15pm

A very funny comedy starring Steve Carrel that has stood the test of time. Worth tuning in if you’re looking for a laugh.

Ghost in the Shell – Channel 4 – 9.15pm

A controversial sci-fi adventure starring Scarlett Johansson, where she plays an enhanced soldier designed to battle the world’s deadliest criminals.

The Hitman’s Bodyguard – RTÉ Two – 9.30pm 

Comedy/action/thriller starring Ryan Reynolds, Samuel L Jackson, Gary Oldman and Salma Hayek. Great cast, grand movie.

Hope Springs – TG4 – 10.05pm

After thirty years of marriage, a middle-aged couple attends an intense, week-long counseling session to work on their relationship. Starring Meryl Streep, who is always good.

Tomorrow Never Dies – UTV – 10.30pm

The names Bond. James Bond. Pierce Brosnan stars as 007 as he joins forces with a Chinese agent to foil a media mogul’s scheme to start a war between their countries.

Couples Retreat – Comedy Central – 10.10pm

Written by and starring the extremely talented Jon Favreau, this is a fun flick that is exactly what you’d expect a movie called Couples Retreat with Vince Vaughan in it to be like.

LISTEN: You Must Be Jokin’ with Aideen McQueen – Faith healers, Coolock craic and Gigging as Gaeilge
