Once more into the movie fray, my friends.
Now, more than ever, we turn to the magic of the movies for escape.
The reliable mix of the same films shown every single week by the likes of TCM, SyFy and ITV4 alongside the occasional hidden gem on Film 4 and/or the BBC in the dead of night.
The great constant.
Let us see what Tuesday 31 March has to offer…

Before his career was revived by John Wick, Keanu Reeves slummed around in sci-fi remakes such as this one.
