Sunday.
Super Bowl Sunday, don’t you know.
You might well be staying up to watch the Rams and Patriots do battle.
You might have no love whatsoever for American football.
In any event, there’s a rake of movies on the television between now – and even during – then on this Sunday 3 February, so let’s run ’em down, shall we?

Channing Tatum and Jonah Hill back at it.

Broken City – E4 – 9pm
Private investigator Mark Wahlberg faces off against New York City mayor Russell Crowe in a movie that stopped just short of being a box office bomb.

The Ghost – ITV4 – 11pm
Ewan McGregor plays a ghostwriter hired to finish the autobiography of Pierce Brosnan’s former UK Prime Minister, a job he takes on despite some dark omens of what’s to come.
