Movies, movies, movies.
It’s Friday.
There are movies on the television.
This is how that combination looks on this Friday 17 May…
Skyfall – ITV2 – 8pm
Daniel Craig’s best Bond after Casino Royale, but it sure is close.
Terminator 2: Judgement Day – ITV4 – 9pm
Legitimately one of the greatest action films of all time.
47 Ronin – E4 – 9pm
Keanu Reeves heads up a samurai adventure. Yes, Keanu Reeves.
The Crying Game – RTÉ 2 – 9.40pm
Infamous for its twist, but there’s more to Neil Jordan’s crime drama than shock value.
True Lies – Film 4 – 10.50pm
When he said ‘I do’, he never said what he did.
Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy – ITV4 – 11.50pm
You’ll need a good deal of patience for this languid spy drama, but what a line-up.
Gary Oldman, John Hurt, Tom Hardy, Colin Firth, Mark Strong, Benedict Cumberbatch, and Toby Jones do battle.
John Wick – Virgin Media Two – 12.30am
With the third movie roaring into cinemas – our review is right here – what better time revisit Keanu Reeves and his stoic, ultra-violent canine avenger?
Free Fire – Channel 4 – 12.35am
A top cast – Cillian Murphy, Armie Hammer, Brie Larson, Sharlto Copley, Jack Reynor, Michael Smiley – face off in a warehouse shootout after an arms deal goes awry.
Rocky – RTÉ 2 – 12.50am
The original. The best?
