Singin' In The Rain is on TCM2 right now!

**dances around the kitchen**

House Of Fools is on Network 2 tonight at quarter past midnight. Chechen and Russian soldiers battle around a mental hospital, and the inmates have to run it themselves when the doctors and staff escape.

It features one of the oddest movie cameos ever, in the shape of Bryan Adams, as himself, driving an illuminated train and singing "Have You Ever Really Loved a Woman?"

I promise I didn't make that up.

Rumble In The Bronx is on BBC1 at 23:20: this was Jackie Chan's international breakthrough film, a Hong Kong production set in New York. Not quote as loony as Kung Fu Hustle, but I still remember it had some excellent fights, including one that brings a whole building down for some reason... :pac:

Best In Show is on TV3 tonight, starting 20:30. This is one of Christopher Guest's "mockumentaries", revolving around a bunch of dogs, their bizarre owners, and a major dog show. One co-presenter of the show (Buck, played by Fred Willard) doesn't have a totally firm grasp on what's happening...

I went to one of those obedience places once... it was all going well until they spilled hot candle wax on my private parts.

Parrish_Crooks · 24-07-2008 10:48am

GREAT show. Not as good as Waiting for Guffman but it's up there. Eugene Levy makes the film again! :pac:

FILM: Shooter
CHANNEL: Sky Premiere
STARRING: Mark Wahlberg, Danny Glover, Kate Mara
DIRECTOR: Antoine Fuqua (Training Day)

This film is by no means up there with Wahlberg's finer performances in The Departed and We Own the Night. The best thing I can advise is to just turn your brain off, ignore the plot holes, and just enjoy this very decent action/ thriller. I don't recommend that you go out of your way to catch it, but if struggling to find something good, it is certainly worth a watch.

Half Nelson: 10.50pm BBC 1 - Sunday 31 August

Ryan Gosling picked up an Oscar nomination for starring in this independent gem, about an idealistic and brilliant teacher, who also happens to be a crack addict. It's both subversive and engaging, and you will find it difficult to take your eyes of its star for the majority of the running time. Heartbreaking in parts, it's ultimately rooted firmly in reality and directed with a loose, but grittily realised style by first time director Ryan Fleck. There's also a stunning debut for inexperienced, but naturally gifted youngster Shareeka Epps. Well worth staying up for.

One for the "camp sci-fi horror" crowd: Inseminoid, BBC2, 02:05 on early Saturday morning. I've heard lots of things about this film... let's just say that critics do not like this one. :P

gerky · 26-09-2008 7:07pm

Team America: World Police, tonight at 9pm on Film4, Sky 315.

Trey Parker and Matt Stone are the co-creators of Southpark and this film is pure overblown satire, well worth a watch.

"Maaaaatt Daaaaaamon"

Peeping Tom, UTV, 01:45 tonight. The original 1960 horror film by Michael Powell, which has been highly praised by critics, but the backlash destroyed Powell's career. Martin Scorsese saw it as a film student, says he learned a lot about directing from it, and later bankrolled its re-release.

MagicMarker · 12-10-2008 12:07am

A.W.O.L is on BBC1 now.

It's on tonight on RTÉ 2 at 12:15am. It's a French Canadian film that won the oscar for best foreign feature in 2003. It's an excellent film and worth watching.
