It is the third entry in a legendary franchise.
Netflix has just added a
thriller series from the creator of Derry Girls to its service. However, if you need something else to watch tonight, here are the movies airing on TV, starting with:
Jurassic Park III - Sky Showcase - 8pm
Our pick for tonight is this third movie in the Jurassic Park franchise that revolves around a divorced couple (Téa Leoni and William H. Macy) who deceive paleontologist Dr. Alan Grant (a returning Sam Neill) into helping them find their son, who has gone missing on dinosaur island Isla Sorna.
The first in the franchise not to be helmed by the legendary Steven Spielberg, Jurassic Park III is notable for being made without a completed script - leading to its storyline being criticised by many (including JOE's own Rory Cashin in-depth
right here). That said, the only 92-minute-long flick has been praised by some for its dino B-movie thrills.
Mechanic: Resurrection - Film4 - 9pm
A forgettable sequel to a quite fun Jason Statham action vehicle.
The Stakelander - Horror Xtra - 9pm
