MOVIE CHOICE

The Guesthouse Murder (2021) 12 ◆ 2.15PM, CH5 ★★

A cash-strapped couple see a chance to make some easy money by renting out their guesthouse, but don’t count on the tenant having sinister intentions. Thriller, starring Brittany Underwood.

Cocktail (1988) 15 ◆ 11PM, CH5 ★★

Even Tom Cruise’s charisma isn’t quite enough to rescue this silly drama. He plays a hotshot bartender, with dreams of running his own place, who finds himself torn between a waitress and an older woman.

The Color Purple (1985) 15 ◆ 11.15PM, BBC2 ★★★★

There’s an argument to be made that this adaptation of Alice Walker’s novel is Steven Spielberg’s most underrated film. Whoopi Goldberg is on star-making form as an abused woman living in rural Georgia.
