GRINDHOUSE (18) 11.15pm
(US 2007) dirs. Robert Rodriguez & Quentin Tarantino 191m.
Rose McGowan, Josh Brolin, Bruce Willis, Kurt Russell, Rosario Dawson, Zoe Bell.
Tarantino and Rodriguez's homage to the sleezy exploitation thrillers of another age is finally presented as originally intended: a double feature of DEATH PROOF and PLANET TERROR complete with what used to be described as a Full Supporting Programme of ads and trailers. Celluloid scratches, imperfections and projection inadequacies are are all part of the experience as our auteurs recreate such staple and lurid B-Moviehouse genres as zombie sci-fi and highway massacre. |

JOY DIVISION (15) 11.15pm
(UK/US 2007) dir. Grant Gee 100m. Digital.
Anton Corbjin, Ian Curtis, Tony Wilson, John Peel, Peter Saville, Annik Honore.
The highly acclaimed biopic of Ian Curtis, CONTROL, introduced the story of Joy Division. This documentary provides a broader, sharper and more revealing account of the influential late 1970s band and the tragic demise of their lead singer. But the film is in no way a mournful tribute, but rather a celebration of the grit and determination that would transform landscapes both urban and musical. The performance footage captures perfectly the powerful magnetism of the band's live performances. Not just a treat for Joy Division and New Order fans, this documentary is a must-see rollercoaster ride of 70s music and memories. |

INDIANA JONES AND THE KINGDOM OF THE CRYSTAL SKULL (12A) 11.30pm
(US 2008) dir. Steven Spielberg. 122m.
Harrison Ford, Karen Allen, Cate Blanchett, Shia LaBeouf, John Hurt, Ray Winstone, Jim Broadbent.
The Hero Returns! The adventure seeking archaeologist emerges from the cinematic sunset to face new challenges as he reaches for unattainable objects that take him to unthinkable places. Indy's long-awaited fourth instalment retains all the deadpan humour of the originals and George Lucas and Steven Spielberg's love of the escapist cinema of a more innocent age of good versus evil still shines through. A star studded cast of filmdom's finest give their all as friends and foes, new and old, and Harrison Ford is still the one and only Indiana Jones.
