Made Of Honor
(2008) 12
5.15PM, CH5
Patrick Dempsey is the wealthy lothario who realises that the girl he loves is his best friend, Michelle Monaghan (above, with Dempsey). Of course, he only gets the necessary wake-up call when she’s agreed to marry another man.
Queen Of Katwe
(2016) PG
5.50PM, SKY PREMIERE
PREMIERE This wonderful drama, set in Africa, is a hidden gem, produced with little of its usual fanfare by Disney. In a heart-warming true story, Phiona Mutesi (Madina Nalwanga) is a young girl from the slums of Uganda, who becomes an international chess contender.
The Amazing Spider-Man 2
(2014) 12
6.20PM, ITV
The web-slinging superhero has now been swallowed up into the Marvel films, but Brit Andrew Garfield was good in the role (left). In his buzzy final outing, he faces nemesis Green Goblin, just like Tobey Maguire’s Spidey once did. Peter Parker takes off in a new direction in Homecoming, out in cinemas next month.
Role Models
(2008) 15
11PM, CH5
Surprisingly entertaining slacker comedy, starring Paul Rudd and Seann William Scott as an aimless pair who, after a brush with the law, avoid jail by mentoring a bunch of equally directionless teens. Life lessons beckon.
The Last Days On Mars
(2013) 15
11.15PM, CH4
We’ve seen it before – hostile alien life forms attacking hapless astronauts – but there are a few twists here, and the horror escalates effectively. Liev Schreiber is one of the scientists on Mars who, hours before their ride home, have a truly terrifying close encounter.
The Assassination Of Jesse James…
(2007) 15
11.20PM, ITV4
This unusual western no doubt broadened its reach by casting Brad Pitt as the famous outlaw Jesse James (right). It’s a haunting, beautifully shot film, exploring the relationship between James and Robert ‘Bob’ Ford (Casey Affleck), the young ‘fan’ who shot and killed his hero.
