Rules Don’t Apply Sky Premiere, 8.30pm Starring Warren Beatty, Lily Collins. Romcom revolving around the reclusive billionair­e Howard Hughes and a religiousl­y conservati­ve starlet. It’s no Aviator but Hughes’ real-life foibles would spice up any script and the reclusive genius is played to good effect here by Beatty. ★★★

The Rookie Prime, 9.30pm Starring Charlie Sheen, Clint Eastwood. This is a predictabl­e blood-and-guts exploitati­on flick, notable only for what must be Eastwood’s most embarrassi­ng screen sex scene. Made in 1990, these were better times for the troubled Sheen, but he goes through the motions here as junior to Eastwood’s veteran cop. ★★

The 5th Eye M ori TV, 8.30pm Everything you wanted to know about New Zealand’s role in the Five Eyes intelligen­ce network. Interestin­g, even if there is not a lot new. This documentar­y is a testament to the investigat­ive work done by Nicky Hager. ★★★
