SPLICE (15) 11.30pm
(Canada 2009) dir. Vincenzo Natali. 104m.
Adrien Brody, Sarah Polley, David Hewlett, Amanda Brugel.

Superstar scientists who specialise in splicing DNA from different species to create incredible hybrids embark on an experiment with the ultimate ingredient: human DNA. The result is Dren, an amazing, strangely beautiful creature of uncommon intelligence and an array of unexpected physical attributes. Very appropriately, SPLICE is itself a cheerfully entertaining hybrid of black comedy, sci-fi, subversive satire and classic nightmare chills.

BRINGING UP BABY (U) 11.30pm

(US 1938) dir. Howard Hawks 102m.
Katherine Hepburn, Cary Grant, Charles Ruggles, Walter Catlett, Barry Fitzgerald, May Robson.

All bumbling paleontologist Cary Grant wants is an intercostal clavicle to complete his brontosaurus skeleton but what he gets is a crazy helter-skelter ride with madcap heiress Katharine Hepburn, who is nuts about him (or maybe just nuts), a dog named George and a leopard named Baby. Screwball comedy at its funniest and most frenetic.

BLACK DYNAMITE (15) 11.30pm

(US 2009) dir. Scott Sanders 84m.
Michael Jai White, Arsenio Hall, Tommy Davidson, John Salley, Salli Richardson-Whitfield.

Once there was Shaft and Superfly; now there's Black Dynamite, a karate chopping dynamo who oozes cool-cat charisma as he tracks down the killers of his kid brother. All the absurd, campy, raunchy and cool elements of traditional 70's blaxploitation films are perfecly re-worked in this celebratory and affectionate send-up of the movies of the time when black was, for the first time, big box office.

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN... THE ROLLING STONES (*) 11.15pm

(US 1973) dir. Rollin Binzer 87m. Digital
Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Charlie Watts, Bill Wyman, Mick Taylor.

A legendary concert movie restored and remastered. Filmed in Texas in 1972 over four nights of the 'Exile On Main Street' US tour, it captures the time when the Stones really were the Greatest Band in the World. They simply do what they do best – guitar fuelled R&B with pop flair – and these versions of such numbers as 'Gimme Shelter', 'Midnight Rambler' and 'Can't Always Get What You Want' have never been surpassed.

THE COMPLETE METROPOLIS (PG) 11.30pm

(Germany 1927) dir. Fritz Lang. 150m. Subtitles. Digital
Brigitte Helm, Alfred Abel, Gustav Frolich, Rudolf Klein-Rogge.
2009 Restoration: F.W. Murnau Stiftung.
Original Music Score Reconstruction: Frank Strobel.

For the first time since its 1927 Berlin premiere the lavish and spectacular epic that is METROPOLIS actually makes sense. The addition of 25 minutes of newly-discovered footage has transformed Fritz Lang's much truncated mother of all sci-fi movies from a jumbled treasure trove of visionary, iconic and influential imagery into a dazzling modern masterpiece. Its tale of a futuristic city and its divided society of masters, men, machines and a mad scientist is equally timeless and the movie remains as powerful and relevant as ever.
