Friday. Just like Rebecca Black said.
Yes, it is the weekend.
It’s been quite the week when you look back on it.
We’ve had more Brexit chaos – and how weird that can be – and we’ve also seen the break-up of The Strypes and the Spice Girls announcing a Croke Park date.
What a rush.
You may need to sit down. With a movie. On the television.
Here are your choices tonight – Friday 16 November…
Hell or High Water – Film 4 – 9pm
A stunning modern-day western with Chris Pine and Ben Foster as a pair of bank-robbing Texan brothers and Jeff Bridges as the lawman on their trail.
If you’ve never seen it, don’t miss it.
48 Hrs. – TCM – 9pm
Eddie Murphy and Nick Nolte in an excellent 80s buddy cop outing.
The Inbetweeners Movie – E4 – 9pm
Wacky slapstick made for a bigger screen.
Knocked Up – ITV2 – 9pm
Decent.
Notting Hill – ITV Be – 9pm
Also not bad as far as rom-coms go.
