Film choice

Okja (2017) NETFLIX, FROM TODAY ★★★★

A diverting, intermittently clever, sometimes awkward blend of find-the-missing-pet adventure and anti-meat satire, this daffy monster mash comes from the pen of Jon Ronson and the fervid brain of Korean director Bong Joon-ho. A young girl fights to rescue a genetically modified “superpig” from corporate greed and scientific ethics. Tilda Swinton, Lily Collins, Jake Gyllenhaal and Paul Dano are among the fine supporting cast.

16 Blocks (2006) ITV4, 9.00PM ★★★

Bruce Willis plays Jack Mosley, a detective who’s assigned to escort prisoner Eddie Bunker (Mos Def) across New York to a Grand Jury hearing in this frantic buddy-action film. This may sound simple, but Mosley’s colleagues don’t want Bunker to make it – because he’s a key witness in a police corruption case that could bring their worlds crashing down. David Morse, Davis Zayas and Jenna Stern also star.

Logan’s Run (1976) SYFY, 9.00PM ★★★★

In Michael Anderson’s postapocalyptic world, set in the 23rd century, all humans are terminated at the age of 30 to avoid over-population. Naturally, some try to run away and it’s policeman Logan (played by Michael York) who is sent to catch them – that is, until he is threatened with termination himself. A nice bit of sci-fi silliness, co-starring Jenny Agutter, Farrah Fawcett, Richard Jordan and Peter Ustinov.
