Wednesday.
The middle of the week.
The movies on TV.
Here’s how it looks on Wednesday, 20 October…
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles – Film4 – 6.55pm
The (mostly) live-action 2014 reboot.
First Blood – ITV4 – 9pm
Vietnam veteran John Rambo escapes from remorseless lawmen and the hunt is on.
On Deadly Ground – Turner Classic Movies – 9pm
Steven Seagal is on deadly ground.
BlacKkKlansman – Film4 – 9pm
Spike Lee directs John David Washington in this simultaneously dramatic and comedic account of Ron Stallworth’s attempts to infiltrate and expose the Ku Klux Klan.
Aquarium of the Dead – SyFy – 9pm
I mean, with a name like that it has to be… terrible, probably?
Carlito’s Way – ITV4 – 11.05pm
Our main choice for you this evening.
Al Pacino’s gangster tries to go straight following his release from prison only to become once again embroiled in a dangerous life of crime, largely thanks to Sean Penn’s crooked lawyer.
Brian De Palma directs with his signature grime, Al Pacino acts his heart out.
Street Kings – TCM – 11.10pm
Corrupt cop Keanu Reeves goes up against even badder guys in one of David Ayer’s many grim odes to gang violence in otherwise sunny Los Angeles.
Terminator: Genisys – Film4 – 11.40pm
Fun when the new T-1000 shows up. Not fun after that.
Point Blank – TCM – 1.25am
An outstanding film noir classic that’s on in the dead of night, helpfully.
Army of Darkness – Film4 – 2.05am
The third Evil Dead film, which probably makes more sense at this time of night.
Sinister 2 – Channel 4 – 2.45am
Seriously, what are we doing with these times!
