FROM FAMILY FAVOURITES to late-night cult hits – we’ve been sifting through the movie options available this week across free-to-air TV and streaming services.
Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade
Indy’s dad (Sean Connery) has been kidnapped by Nazis – but that’s a relatively minor consideration in the grand scheme of things as far as this movie is concerned. Get the popcorn on standby now.
Micheal Collins
Complain all you like about Julia Roberts’ Irish accent, if you happen to tune in at any point it’s impossible not to watch a TV airing of Neil Jordan’s 1996 classic through to the end.
Detroit
Kathryn Bigelow’s hugely acclaimed fact-based drama set during the 1967 Detroit riots gets a first Irish TV outing.
Doctor Zhivago
Omar Sharif and Julie Christie star in David Lean’s epic adaptation the novel. A tale of a passionate love affair set against the backdrop of the First World War and the Bolshevik revolution. It clocks in at three-and-a-quarter hours – so that’s Saturday sorted.
Staying in Russia, one of the major events in the country’s 20th Century history gets the Armando Ianucci treatment here – as the creator of Veep and an eclectic cast that includes Steve Buscemi, Michael Palin and Paul Whitehouse tackle the events surrounding the dictator’s death and its aftermath.
The Cabin in the Woods
Five friends head off to a secluded cabin for the weekend – but what terrors lurk in the woods? It would be hard to come up with a more clichéd set up for a horror movie, but the twists keep coming on in this one. Co-written by Buffy the Vampire Slayer creator Joss Whedon.
Independence Day: Resurgence
Thursday, 9pm. Film Four
Will Smith had the good sense to skip this one. Perhaps you should too.

Mcdonalds is always there for me too. Unfortunately for my waist!!
I hate McDonald’s and yet I find their double cheeseburgers annoyingly addictive…

Mar tá siad lá le siúrce agus cimicí chun go mbeidh tú tugtha dóibh.
Gaeltan,
Perché si rispondere a un commento in una lingua diversa ? è rozzo
Is maith liom sceallóga agus ispíní.
Eh?
Breaking News: James Franco worked in McDonald’s. Bad day at the office Journal?
I know the feeling James, mc Donald’s has often taken me out of a hole too.
Ironic, mackers has taken the hole out of me more than once.
Silly boy.
To be fair it reads a bit like james got a few dollars for reading that script!
McDonald’s where even the salads are unhealthy.
Pure manure!!
Terrible actor, brutal Director and an even worse artist… one guy that should have never given up the day job…
What have you done lately?
Let’s put this to bed once and for all…Big Mac or Whopper??
Neither.
Big Mac on its own or a Whopper if you whack a few BK onion rings into it! Now thats me darza!!
The double cheeseburger for €2
Often emptied my hole!!
Caroline did?
She always was dirty.
Ask the lads…..
Yeah, Cal is well known………
A “full Irish breakfast” is far more dangerous to your waistline than anything served up in McDonalds.
Anyway,why pick on McDonalds?
ALL restaurants serve up fattening foods.
Ever wondered what’s in that “Nouveau Cusine” they serve up in upmarket restaurants?
At least McDonalds is spotlessly clean and hygienic.
Unlike a lot of other “greasy spoon” dumps you see on the high street.
And a LOT cleaner and hygienic than most Irish kitchens I have seen.
McDonalds sells happiness. I’d have it every other month but never as my main meal of the day.
Large chicken legend meal, salsa, no bacon, with coke. That’s the one and only meal I eat at McDonalds and I’d happily eat it everyday if I could get away with it. Add chicken nuggets and its €10 exactly.
have your say
