TOP 10 FILMS TO WATCH THIS WEEK

1. Today ITV1 4.50pm The Mummy
This period horror adventure that stars Brendan Fraser, Rachel Weisz, Arnold Vosloo and John Hannah is a mixture of archaeological action with a mixture of comedy and curses thrown in. If you like all things Egyptian as I do you will love this. A very entertaining movie rated 12.

2. Today BBC3 8.50pm Chicken Run
A fabulous family film with the voices of Mel Gibson as Rocky the Rooster, Julie Sawalha as Ginger and also Jane Horrocks as Babs. From the makers of Wallace & Gromit this movie is very funny that has many POW undertones including The Great Escape rate U.

3. Today E4 9.00pm I,Robot
A futuristic sci-fi move with Will Smith at the helm set in 2035 when robots are part of everyday family life. He plays a detective who has had a bad experience of the robots which seems substantiated when a friend appears to have been killed by one. A very thrilling action movie that is worth watching rated12.

4. Sunday ITV2 9.00pm The Sixth Sense
A supernatural drama starring Bruce Willis and a young Haley Joel Osment which is an intelligent ghost story that you to need to watch from start to finish. With its knockout twist ending this film is rated 15.

5. Monday ITV1 10.40pm Unleashed
A fantastic martial arts action thriller starring Jet Li, Bob Hoskins and Morgan Freeman. This movie set in Glasgow has some great Jet Li action parts but a great film for non martial arts fans. It is rate 18 as does contain violence.

6. Monday TCM 9.00pm The Dirty Dozen
If you are able to get this channel via satellite it is a fantastic classic movie to watch and stars a host of old Hollywood greats including Lee Marvin, Charles Bronson, Clint Walker, Ernest Borgnine. Rated 15 however the violence is very mild compared to today’s movies.

7. Monday Ch 5 11.05pm An Innocent Man
A brilliant crime thriller in my opinion although not a massive hit for Tom Selleck when released in which a ordinary chap gets set up by two dirty cops and goes to prison. It changes the character for the worst. Well worth watching rated 18.

8. Tuesday BBC3 8.00pm Armageddon
A big epic all action sci-fi movie starring Bruce Willis, Liv Tyler, Ben Affleck and Owen Wilson. If you are able to put up with the ra ra America overtones it is a great movie to watch with humour, tears and great performances, rated 15.

9. Thursday ITV2 9.00pm Be Cool
A crime comedy starring John Travolta as Chilli Palmer, the Rock, Danny Devito and Harvey Keitel which is the sequel to Get Shorty, which coincidentally is on Wednesday ITV2 9.00pm. Rated 12

10. Thursday Sci-Fi Ch 10.00pm The Lost World: Jurassic Park
A fantastic family sci-fi dinosaur adventure which is the sequel to Jurassic Park starring Jeff Goldblum and the great Richard Attenborough. Even if you have seen it, it is well worth watching a second time. Rated PG.
