Your Wednesday night viewing menu!
If you’ve already blitzed through the eight fantastic movies that Netflix added to their library yesterday, then may we suggest one of the following great movies on your TV tonight?
The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part Two – FilmFour – 6.25pm
The grand finale to the Hunger Games quadrilogy finds Katniss and the fellow rebellion members bringing the fight to the Capitol, just as they begin to realise that there may be some subterfuge going on within the ranks of the “good guys”, too.
The Bourne Legacy – ITV4 – 9pm
The first of tonight’s two Bourne movies is the better of the two, despite the fact that Jason Bourne doesn’t actually appear in this one. Jeremy Renner is another enhanced soldier who has been put through even more strenuous training than Bourne was, and he too is out to find out what his own government has done to him, and why.
Jason Bourne – FilmFour – 9pm
Okay, we’ll be honest… despite Matt Damon returning and the director of Supremacy and Ultimatum back behind the camera, this is defo the worst of the five Bourne movies. Having said that, the car chase through a packed Las Vegas is still one of the best action sequences of the last decade or so.
Rocky – TCM – 9pm
“AADDRRIIIAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANNNNN!”
A Million Ways to Die in the West – Comedy Central – 9pm
Family Guy creator Seth McFarlane writes, directs, and stars in this western comedy, as a nice man who simply doesn’t fit in with old violent ways of the wild, wild west, co-starring Charlize Theron, Neil Patrick Harris, Liam Neeson, and Amanda Seyfried.
Demolition Man – TCM – 11.30pm
Another Sylvester Stallone movie, and while this one didn’t win any Oscars, it will always have a special place in our heart for being a ridiculously over the top sci-fi action romp. He is the maniac cop who has to stop an even-more-maniac bad guy (Wesley Snipes, acting a hole in the screen) in a utopian future no longer equipped to deal with bad guys.
Mistress America – Channel 4 – 12.35am
Noah Baumbach (Marriage Story) directs and co-writes this comedy drama, telling the story of Tracy Fishko (Lola Kirke), a naive college freshman, who finds her life turning upside down when she starts living with her mischievous future stepsister (Greta Gerwig).
