Film choice

Hugo (2011) FILM4, 6.35PM ★★★

 Martin Scorsese’s charming adventure, adapted from Brian Selznick’s graphic novel, is set in 1931 and stars Asa Butterfield as a 12-yearold orphan who tends to the clocks in Paris’s Gare Montparnasse. Sacha Baron Cohen provides comic relief as a station inspector, while Chloë Grace Moretz is an ally whose godfather (Ben Kingsley) turns out to be a key figure in cinema history. Jude Law also makes an appearance as Hugo’s father.

You, Me and Dupree (2006) COMEDY CENTRAL, 9.00PM ★★★

 Newlyweds Carl and Molly (Matt Dillon and Kate Hudson) make the mistake of inviting their best man Dupree (Owen Wilson) to move in with them after he loses his job and home. But, when Dupree starts to become a permanent fixture, their bliss is destroyed. This film belongs entirely to Wilson, who turns out his usual goofy charm. Michael Douglas and Seth Rogen are among the supporting cast.

A Clockwork Orange (1971) SYFY, 10.00PM ★★★★★

 Withdrawn by Stanley Kubrick amid the hoo-ha about copycat violence, this remains the director’s most uncompromising movie. Malcolm Mcdowell’s charismatic Alex, a gloating rapist who is the subject of a government experiment to correct his behaviour, is really a lab rat for Anthony Burgess’s thesis that to be good without free will is to be no longer human. Patrick Magee, Warren Clarke and Adrienne Corri also star.
