Your Monday evening movie menu has arrived!

New week, new movie menu for tonight!

Revolver – Sky Showcase – 9pm
Guy Ritchie and Jason Statham reunite after the success of Snatch for this bonkers and most boring existential crime drama. Avoid.

Terminator Genisys – FilmFour – 9pm
The worst of all of the Terminator movies, and even then, still not THAT terrible.

Colette – TG4 – 9.30pm
A very good historical biographical drama about a woman (Keira Knightley) who decides to stop ghost writing for her husband and try to make it as a famous writer on her own.

Paranormal Activity – HorrorXtra – 11.05pm
The first (and best) of the CCTV horror series.

The Conversation – BBC Two – 11.15pm

Our big pick for tonight is The Conversation, one of the most intensely paranoid movies ever made. It revolves around a top secret surveillance expert (Gene Hackman) who begins to believe that the couple he has been secretly recording is about to be killed by the people who asked him to spy on them. If you miss it tonight, The Conversation is also available to watch on Paramount+.

The Sum of All Fears – FilmFour – 11.30pm
After Alec Baldwin and Harrison Ford but before Chris Pine and John Krasinski, Ben Affleck took a whack at the role of Jack Ryan, in this entertaining action spy thriller involving a nuclear weapon smuggled on to US soil.
