Planning your weekend viewing? We’ve rounded up some of the movies on TV tonight to help you do just that. 

Happy Friday my dudes! I don’t know about you, but I could not be happier to see the back of that week. Blue Monday really set the tone, didn’t it?

I like to think that I’ve remained fairly positive over the past few months (I mean as much as is possible, given the situation), but this week was tough going so a weekend of complete R&R is most definitely on the cards. Granted, there’s not a whole lot we can do but good coffee, a few moments of sunshine and lots of TV is sure to help reset the body clock.

Here’s what’s on the box tonight. Start as you mean to go on and all that.

Knight and Day – FilmFour – Sony Movie Channel – 6:50pm 

Action comedy starring Cameron Diaz and Tom Cruise. He’s an eccentric secret agent on the run from the CIA, she’s a classic car restorer who unwittingly gets caught up in the drama… could we make it any more obvious?

Sweet Home Alabama – 6:50pm  

Ok not necessarily the best movie out there, but if you like Reese Witherspoon and Patrick Dempsey – and let’s be honest, who doesn’t?- you’ll probably like this.

Terminator 2: Judgement Day – ITV4 – 9pm 

Arnold Schwarzenegger returns as the Terminator, sent back in time to the 20th century to protect 10-year-old John Connor – whose fate is to save the human race.

Unfinished Business – Comedy Central – 9pm 

Three business associates travel to Europe to close the most important deal of their lives. Naturally, nothing goes to plan and chaos ensues. Vince Vaughan, Dave Franco and Tom Wilkinson star.

Breaking In – Virgin Media One – 9:30pm 

A woman travels to her childhood home accompanied by her two children where she intends to settle her father’s estate and sell the property. However, four criminals are already in the house waiting for them. Thriller starring Gabrielle Union, Billy Burke and Richard Cabral

Suite Francaise – RTÉ Two – 9:35pm
