THIRTEEN movies on TV this evening to choose from…
There are loads of new movies and shows available to watch via your streaming services today (read all about them here).
But if none of those take your fancy, here are all the movies you can watch on your telly for the evening of Friday, 11 March.
The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part Two – Film4 – 6.20pm
The final part of the Jennifer Lawrence-fronted sci-fi quadrilogy about teenagers disrupting a totalitarian government. Its a good movie, but you really need to have seen the first three to get anything from it.
Knight & Day – E4 – 8pm
Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz star in this action-comedy about a government agent who drags along an innocent woman on his adventures. Not nearly as fun as that all sounds.
Jack Reacher – Virgin Media One – 9pm
A much better Tom Cruise movie, playing a soldier-turned-investigator who is hired to get to the centre of a seemingly random spate of assassinations.
Red – Film4 – 9pm
Bruce Willis, Helen Mirren, Morgan Freeman and more star as a group of Retired-Extremely-Dangerous (hence the RED) agents who find themselves all targeted by their former employers. Good fun.
Insidious – MTV – 9pm
Before he hit gold with The Conjuring (but after he hit gold with Saw), director James Wan also hit gold with this spin in the haunted house formula. Patrick Wilson and Rose Byrne play parents to a young boy who is being possessed by an evil spirit.
The Bourne Legacy – ITV4 – 9pm
The one that doesn’t feature Matt Damon. This one has Jeremy Renner as a member of the next-level agent training programme that Jason Bourne had previously been a part of.
The Wild Bunch – TG4 – 9.20pm
In the running to be the greatest western ever made.
The Wedding Singer – RTÉ2 – 10.30pm
Adam Sandler’s best movie. (Don’t @ me.)
The Cabin in the Woods – Film4 – 11.15pm
Our pick of the night is a brilliant dismantling of the horror genre, with a group of “teens” – including a clearly mid-to-late-twenties Chris Hemsworth – heading to the titular location for a weekend away, only to find themselves on the receiving end of some very well organised chaos.
The Dinner – RTÉ One – 11.15pm
Richard Gere, Laura Linney and Steve Coogan headline this tense drama about two sets of rich parents who meet one night to decide what to do about the crimes their children have committed.
The Witches of Eastwick – BBC One – 12.05am
Jack Nicholson is the devil, and Susan Sarandon, Cher and Michelle Pfeiffer are three best friends in a small town he attempts to seduce and make the mothers to his spawn. A very dark and sexy comedy.
The Lodgers – RTÉ2 – 12.45am
Filmed in one of the most haunted locations in Ireland, this period horror is a perfectly acceptable watch if you’re still up.
Shot Caller – Film4 – 1.05am
Nikolaj Coster-Waldau (aka Jamie Lannister from Game Of Thrones) headlines this crime thriller about a newly released prisoner who forced to take part in a major crime with members of his rival gang.
