It’s the weekend! Time to lead that unstable Balkan state to glorious revolution. But if that sounds like a lot of bother, then why not watch these great films instead.
Saturday
Steel Magnolias Sony Movie Channel 03.35
Old ladies get haircuts and are indomitable with tragic consequences.
Perfect viewing for Nan at 03.35 in the morning, possibly after clubbing.
Die Hard 2 E4 21.00
Bruce Willis beats up a plane in charming throwback to when he made films that were a laugh.
Also – a Christmas film, fact.
Tomorrow Never Dies ITV 21.50
James Bond saves world by getting off with her off of The Adventures of Lois and Clarke.
Secretly one of the good Bonds, but with a title so stupid and meaningless that it’s actively distracting for the first ten minutes.
Sunday
Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope ITV 13.30
Strong comeback for Star Wars franchise after disappointing initial trilogy.
Last of the Mohicans Sony Movie Channel 18.45
So committed to the role was Daniel Day-Lewis that he actually travelled back in time to learn how to fire a musket.
It worked too, as many people who lived through the French and Indian war of the 1750s rate this movie as the most realistic depiction of the conflict ever made.
Enemy at the Gates Sony Movie Channel 00.45
Don’t open them then. Duh.
New at the cinema this weekend
Armstrong
Epic and moving documentary about presenter of Pointless.
DVD of the week
Black Hawk Down
Men do manly things after helicopter crashes somewhere foreign.
Favourite film of people who don’t watch enough films.
