WEDNESDAY

Cars TVNZ 2, 7am

The Unauthorised Beverly Hills, 90210 Story TVNZ 2, 12.05pm

Starring Annie Cobb, Max Lloyd-Jones. Made-for-TV movie about the goings-on behind the scenes of the hit TV show. Not reviewed.

Touched Three, 2.10pm Starring Sam Page. A nurse takes a live-in job with a dying novelist. Not reviewed.

Alpha And Omega Three, 4.05pm Voices Justin Long, Hayden Panettiere. Routine animated family telling an unremarkable tale of two wolves journeying across America. ★★

Mom & Dad Sky Premiere, 8.30pm Starring Nicolas Cage, Selma Blair. This deeply dark comedy takes the zombie genre into new territory – mysterious radio signals make parents want to kill their offspring. Cage and Blair play the afflicted parents and Anne Winters and Zackary Ryan play the kids who must outwit them. ★★★★

Killers TVNZ 2, 8.30pm

Starring Ashton Kutcher, Katherine Heigl. This cringe-inducing attempt at action comedy lacks both of the obviously necessary ingredients to be properly placed in that genre. However, fans of Ashton Kutcher and/or Katherine Heigl will be entertained. ★★
