Gimme a T.

Gimme a hursday.

It’s Thursday.

Here’s the best cinematic options on your television screen on this Thursday 4 July…

The Marine – SyFy – 9pm

John Cena makes a break for Hollywood and battles the T-1000 – well, the actor who plays him anyway – in this totally fine if wildly generic actioner.

The Take – Film 4 – 9pm

Not to be confused with the Tom Hardy drama; this one was originally called Bastille Day and features Idris Elba and Richard Madden in a pacy conspiracy thriller.

Ali G Indahouse – Comedy Central – 9pm

Hey kids, remember Ali G?

Full Metal Jacket – TCM – 11pm

War is hell, as detailed by the great Stanley Kubrick.

Byzantium – Channel 4 – 1.55am

If you’re having an especially late night, you could do a lot worse than Neil Jordan’s return to the vampire world with Saoirse Ronan and Gemma Arterton in support.
