It’s on.
With the Late Late Show in ‘Best Of’ mode and Graham Norton on holidays, there’s nothing stopping you from diving into a movie or three tonight.
They usually save the very best until the weekend, so let’s see how it looks on this Friday, 12 July…
Rope – TCM – 7.15pm
Hitchcock thriller in which two students commit murder and then invite the victim’s friends and family around for a party in a bid to prove they can get away with it.
Psycho – TCM – 9pm
An even more iconic Hitchcock offering.
Jennifer’s Body – SyFy – 9pm
Megan Fox and Amanda Seyfried navigate difficult high school waters in extremely bloody fashion.
Eye in the Sky – RTÉ 2 – 9.40pm
Helen Mirren and Alan Rickman engage in drone warfare.

Don’t Breathe – Film 4 – 10.50pm

Very good until it isn’t.

The American version of Swedish vampire drama Let the Right One In.
Not as good, but not bad.
