Good news for fans of Irish actors, because Cillian Murphy, Jamie Dornan, and Colin Farrell are all on the telly tonight.
The weekend is here and the weather is terrible.
Thankfully you’re absolutely spoiled for choice with movies on TV tonight, starting with…
Deep Impact – FilmFour – 6.40pm
President Morgan Freeman attempts to save America from an incoming asteroid with the combined use of astronauts trying to blow it up while its still in space (basically the same plot as Armageddon, but this came out first), and underground tunnels for the survivors of the impact to live in.
Sleepless – Virgin Media One – 9pm
Jamie Foxx stars as a crooked cop in Las Vegas with connections to the criminal underworld, who is forced to turn against pretty much everyone in his life when his son suddenly goes missing.
The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part One – MTV – 9pm
The one where Bella and Edward get married.
Now You See Me 2 – E4 – 9pm
The sequel to the magicians-as-bank-robbers action-thriller is fine, but really we’ll never forgive it for not titling itself Now You Don’t.
Terminator Salvation – Dave – 9pm
Not as bad as you’d heard, but not as good as it could’ve been, this is the Terminator movie set in the post-apocalypse where the robots have already blown up humanity. Christian Bale, Sam Worthington and Helena Bonham Carter star.
Horrible Bosses – RTE2 – 10pm
Three best friends (Jason Bateman, Charlie Day, Jason Sudekis) agree to murder each other’s terrible superiors (Jennifer Aniston, Kevin Spacey, Colin Farrell) in an effort to find happiness at work. Things, understandably, don’t go according to plan.
The Hunger Games: Catching Fire – Channel 4 – 12.05am
The second (and best) of the Hunger Games series finds Jennifer Lawrence heading back into the killing fields when she is drafted by the evil President Snow during a 25-year-anniversary Hunger Games.
Anthropoid – FilmFour – 1.05am
Cillian Murphy and Jamie Dornan star in this based-on-true-events war-thriller, dealing with the assassination attempt on SS General Reinhard Heydrich, the main architect behind the Final Solution and the Reich’s third in command after Hitler and Himmler.
