Captain Phillips - RTÉ One - 9.35pm Our main pick for the night is the movie that really should have won Tom Hanks his third Oscar, but he wasn't even nominated for this true-life thriller from the director of the best Bourne movies. Hanks plays Captain Phillips, the leader of a commercial vessel which is suddenly taken over by Somali pirates, and he must walk the tightrope between keeping himself and his crew alive, while also staying on his new kidnappers' good side. Jackass 2.5 - Comedy Central - 10pm Men hurting themselves for our entertainment, added bits that didn't make the cinema edit. Thelma & Louise - BBC One - 10.40pm Ridley Scott's brilliant road trip drama about two best friends (Geena Davis and Susan Sarandon) forced to go on the run after they commit a murder. Van Wilder: Party Liaison - MTV - 11pm The second Ryan Reynolds movie on TV tonight, this time as his college's vibe commissioner, but forced to suddenly buckle down and graduate when his rich parents threaten to pull funding. The Equalizer - FilmFour - 11.40pm Denzel Washington does a Taken. Its pretty good. Girl With A Pearl Earring - RTÉ - 12.05am Colin Firth, Scarlett Johansson and Cillian Murphy star in this biopic of the titular famous painting and its creator. Great performances, beautiful cinematography, but all a bit too slow burn for our liking. Charlie's Angels - Channel 4 - 12.10am "Lucy Liu. With my girl Drew. Cameron D and Destiny." Still a tune. Bring It On - Comedy Central - 12.30am Kirsten Dunst's much-loved cheerleader comedy is ranked alongside Mean Girls and Easy A as one of the best teen movies of all time.
