    I just watched 300 again a week or so ago when it was on Film 4, i forgot just how brilliant that movie was! I hope i'm wrong but i don't think the new one will live up to it!

    Also +1 for Rushmore!

    These are a bit early but I'll forget next week....

    All Film 4.

    Monday 9pm - Never Let Me Go

    Tuesday 11:10pm - The Burning Plain

    Wednesday 11:30pm - Deep Blue See (not the LL Cool J and sharks one)

    Thursday 10:50pm - Bullhead

    Full disclosure, I've only seen The Burning Plain which I highly recommend. Charlize Theron, Jennifer Lawrence and Kim Basinger star. Bullhead stars the guy from Rust and Bone whose surname I can't spell without looking it up. Heard good things about it. The other two I've heard mixed reviews but still they sound interesting.

    The Hurricane is on RTE2 tonight. If you haven't seen it, watch it. If you have seen it before, watch it again. Marvellous movie (IMO)

    Seen Never Let Me Go, its had a few mixed reviews, cos of the subject matter, but watched it after the brilliant An Education from Carey Mulligan.

    The Burning Plain i'd recommend highly too.

    Also:

    StepBrothers (2008) TV3 @ 9pm

    Bruno (2009) - Ch4 @ 00.05am

    The Land That Time Forgot (1975) - UTV @ 3am.
    Nostalgic viewing especially as its the actor everyone forgot about!

    I actually thought the opposite thought 300 has not held up at all on multiple viewings not even in have a few beers with mates and watch it kind of way.

    TG4 is showing Everything Is Illuminated (2005), 23:15 Saturday night. An oddball film I saw a few years ago at the IFI, starring Elijah Wood as a young man having some kind of existential crisis, so he travels to Ukraine to try to locate a lady who assisted his grandfather during WW2. Kind-of predictable at first - cue the wacky locals - but gets more interesting and reflective, I thought. Turns out that helping relatively rich Americans find "their heritage" is a local industry, just as in Ireland and Scotland. Roger Ebert reviewed it positively, here.

    From out there on the moon, international politics look so petty. You want to grab a politician by the scruff of the neck and drag him a quarter of a million miles out and say, ‘Look at that, you son of a bitch’.

    Another early warning alert: RTE1, Saturday morning, 08:35: The Big Sleep. Bogart, Bacall, and a script that left its author confused about whodunnit: just what you need after a hard Friday night. :cool:

    I'm recording I Know Where I'm Going (1945) from BBC2, 06:00 Sunday morning. Never seen it, hadn't even heard of it until recently, but I'll give it a go based on the reputations of its makers: Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger. (The IMDB reviews are positive, too.) This is the team behind such masterpieces as The Life and Times of Colonel Blimp, Black Narcissus, and a film I've recommended here before: The Red Shoes.

    edit: same day, same channel, 14:10: Hitchcock's Rear Window.

    6 am?! Disgraceful - BBC2 used to treat good films with respect.

    Its already on but Day of the Jackal is on ITV4, so it'll almost certainly pop up again within the week. One to keep an eye out for - you know the ending before its even begun but it doesn't matter a jot.

    Well, it's a bit late now, and my (old) DVR crashed overnight and didn't record it - so I can't check now. The schedule I use (tvguide.co.uk) is now saying They Knew What They Wanted (1940) for this morning, but that's not what it said last night. Hmmm .... maybe the two things (crash and film change) are connected?

    Memento is on Channel 4 tonight at 12-15am.

    Such a weird movie. But very good.

    (Terminator Salvation is on before at 10 but not great.)

    Frankenhooker (1990) Horror Channel at 00.45 am tonight.
    A scientist accidentally kills his girlfriend, so comes up with a grisly plan to bring her back to life. He blows up a hotel room full of prostitutes and uses the corpses to build a new body he can attach her severed head to. However, his resurrected creation is soon killing people, and a furious pimp is looking for revenge. Comedy horror, starring James Lorinz and Patty Mullen

    Well worth catching, surprisingly fine performance by soft porn babe Patty Mullen as the title character.

    Duplicity is on UTV at 23:05

    If you haven't seen this it's a really easy watching slick caper flick with a few good twists in it! Think along the lines of The Ocean's series but with Clive Owen and Julia Roberts instead of the lads!

    As I predicted! If Day of "teh" Jackal is not your bag the Horror Channel has dug out a minor drive-in trash classic - Children Shouldn't Play with Dead Things (1973) directed by Bob (Black Christmas/Murder by Decree) Clarke

    A cracker on tonight, and one which falls into the sequel-better-than-the-original category.

    Terminator 2: Judgement Day, on at 9.25pm on TV3.

    T-1000 rocks. Ill never get bored of watching it.

    Just noticed - Ch.4 is showing Alexander Payne's Election tonight, 00:40. I saw this for the first time last year and was blown away by Reese WItherspoon, as an ambitious student seeking to become school president - at any cost.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XaQvqhtCYW0


    PS: if you happen to be up really early: To Kill A Mockingbird (TV3 06:55 Sunday), a great adaptation of the classic book. Starring Gregory Peck in an Oscar-winning performance as a small-town lawyer in the 1930s, in the South of the USA.
