Is that the weekend?
IT IS.
Magic.
Unreal.
Whatever you wind up doing, there’s always the opportunity for couch-based respite.
As such, it is time to review the line-up of movies on the box on this Friday 14 June…
About Time – Film 4 – 6.40pm
Charming and sometimes devastating rom-com-drama boasting the electric chemistry of Domhnall Gleeson and Rachel McAdams.
The Spy Who Loved Me – ITV4 – 9pm
Alan Partridge’s favourite Bond film.
Fast & Furious 6 – E4 – 9pm
The sixth one.
Quantum of Solace – RTÉ One – 9.35pm
Has its moments.
The Full Monty – RTÉ 2 – 10.25pm
Smash hit comedy about a bunch of unemployed blokes in Sheffield who band together for a naked extravaganza.
Foxcatcher – BBC Two – 11.05pm
Intense true story of amateur wrestling obsession and ultimate tragedy, starring Steve Carrell, Channing Tatum and Mark Ruffalo.
Rocky Balboa – ITV – 11.05pm
Until Creed, this was the best send-off to the Rocky series.
Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping – Film 4 – 11.10pm
Should have been better than it was, but Andy Samberg’s cartoonish send-up of the music industry is decent enough.
Sexy Beast – Channel 4 – 12.10am
Excellent gangster thriller with Ray Winstone, Ian McShane, and an endlessly profane Ben Kingsley.
LISTEN: You Must Be Jokin’ with Aideen McQueen – Faith healers, Coolock craic and Gigging as Gaeilge
