As Mondays go, this is pretty damn great.
It’s a new week, yes it is.
Let’s all strap in and accept it.
There’s a Bank Holiday on the horizon, though, so get hype.
In the meantime, distract your brain with a movie on the television.
Here’s how it looks on this Monday 27 May…
Super 8 – Film 4 – 6.35pm
Decent Spielbergian sci-fi effort that set J. J. Abrams on his blockbuster way.
Air Force One – SyFy – 9pm
Harrison Ford does not take kindly to terrorists invading his airspace.
The Last Boy Scout – TCM – 9pm
Bruce Willis and Damon Wayans team up in Tony Scott’s violent, foul-mouthed adventure.
Trainwreck – RTÉ 2 – 9pm
Amy Schumer navigates a frenzied dating world and stumbles upon Bill Hader, who may or may not be the one.
John Cena and LeBron James provide charming support.
Locke – TG4 – 9.30pm
Tom Hardy’s most underrated film and performance sees the man encased in a car for the entire duration of the film, trying to keep his world together via a series of stressed-out phone calls.
Full Metal Jacket – TCM – 11pm
The horrors of war, brilliantly realised by Stanley Kubrick.
You Were Never Really Here – Film 4 – 11.20pm
Joaquin Phoenix is outstanding in this patient and brutal meditation on revenge and the dire consequences that come with it.
The Devil’s Rejects – SyFy – 11.30pm
Rob Zombie’s masterpiece as a director, for whatever that’s worth.
The Guest – Film 4 – 1.05am
Excellent throwback to the glory days of John Carpenter with a superb soundtrack to boot; The Guest finds Dan Stevens’ stranger turn a family’s life upside down in deeply sinister fashion.
