Monday.
For some, the first day of a new week.
For those who follow the traditional calendar system, the second.
Really feels like the first though, doesn’t it?
So on this Monday – 17 December – we present to you the following movie options to enjoy on your television this evening…
Eye in the Sky – Film 4 – 9pm
Helen Mirren and the late Alan Rickman head up a smart drama that takes the ethical nature of drone strikes into account.
Event Horizon – SyFy – 9pm
Spooky, Hellraiser-tinged 90s sci-fi horror action.
JOE’s Rory Cashin has made a strong argument that Event Horizon deserves more love, and you may read that case right here.
War of the Worlds – TG4 – 9.30pm
Tom Cruise rarely plays a deadbeat dad type and he does so very well here in Stephen Spielberg’s 2005 remix of the H.G. Wells classic sci-fi disaster.
Jaws 2 – Virgin Media One – 10pm
It was a different film, it was a different shark!
The Taking of Pelham One Two Three – TCM – 11pm
The original and best version of the train-focused thriller with a freeze-frame ending for the ages.
RED – Film 4 – 11.05pm
Want more Helen Mirren? Here you are.
