The movie is 14 years old this month.
At last, it’s the weekend, meaning more time to sit back and relax with some movies or TV shows.
In keeping with that, JOE recommended a few particular ones to watch in the video below.

JOE recently called this sci-fi action flick Steven Spielberg’s “best movie”. Do you agree?

An absolute classic in the buddy cop action film sub-genre.
Goodbye Christopher Robin – RTÉ One – 9.35pm
This biographical drama focuses on the relationship between writer AA Milne (Domhnall Gleeson) and his son, Christopher Robin, and how this became the inspiration for Winnie the Pooh.

Our pick for tonight centres on two grown but immature men (John C. Reilly and Will Ferrell) who are forced to live together as brothers.

Packed full of incredible comedic performances and moments of hilarity – some of which JOE previously wrote about here – Step Brothers is truly a laugh-a-minute movie.
