It’s the weekend, and as your plans for the weekend amount to lying on the sofa wondering why you don’t have better plans for the weekend, you’re probably going to want to watch some films.
Here’s our pick.
Saturday
Field of Dreams Film4 16.55
Ghostly baseball players send farmer insane leading him to destroy his crops and leave his young family penniless, hungry and friends with a failed writer.
Bridge of Spies Film4 21.00
Mark Rylance does serious acting in Spielberg film that needs loads more dinosaurs. All Spielberg films without dinosaurs need more dinosaurs. Some of the ones with dinosaurs need more dinosaurs.
Notting Hill ITVbe (me either) 22.00
Outlandish fantasy film about man who makes enough money from travel bookshop to be able to live in Notting Hill.
Sunday
The Wolverine E4 21.30
Huge Ackman gets angry in Japan.
London has Fallen Channel 5 21.30
Terrorist London Bobbies shoot everyone while Gerard Butler does that weird talking out the side of his mouth thing he does.
Blows its budget in first ten minutes and the rest of the film is spent watching men shoot each other in cheap looking warehouses.
Free Willy Channel 5 14.55
Boy gets big Willy out.
What?
New at the cinema
Widows
Remake of classic British eighties crime drama by Steve McQueen. Surely this can lead the way to a Minder remake by Michael Hanake.
DVD of the week
School of Rock
Searing indictment of the paucity of quality rock-based education in modern America.
