19/11 Tonight’s Telly

Pick of the night: Community, 3e, 11:15pm.

It’s been a favourite of ours for quite some time but Chevy Chase-starring comedy Community hits a series high this week is with Friday’s ‘Modern Warfare’ episode. Members of the study group discuss the sexual tension between Britta and Jeff, and friendships are tested when an early registration paintball contest begins

Movie pick: Training Day, Film Four, 9:00pm

A cop embarks on his first day in narcotics, partnering a seasoned officer whose willingness to flout the rules forces him to question everything he has learnt in Friday night’s Training Day tonight. As the duo resort to extreme measures to crack a case, the rookie (Ethan Hawke) is left battling his conscience in a dangerous situation. Denzel Washington became the first African-American hander to land a Best Actor accolade at the Oscars for his role as the corrupt Det. Alonzo Harris, a performance that is elevates what could have been a run-of-the-mill cop drama into an intoxicating look at the abuse of power.
