Broken City – AMC – 9pm
Mark Wahlberg and Russell Crowe star in this mediocre political thriller.
The River Wild – Legend – 9pm

Passengers – FilmFour – 9pm
An interesting mess of a movie, with Chris Pratt and Jennifer Lawrence as two passengers on a space ship who are accidentally awoken way too early.
Scary Movie – Comedy Central – 9pm
What if Scream, but was just a comedy? Some of the jokes have aged like milk, but some others are still pretty funny.
