Today's movie recommendations

3:10 To Yuma
Welcome revival of the old skool western starring Christian Bale as a hard-up rancher who volunteers to escort a notorious outlaw (Russell Crowe) to the stockade. Thoroughly entertaining.
8pm, Sky Drama

Four Weddings And A Funeral
Yes, we've all seen it at least three times, but it remains the classic that inspired the modern romcom, only since bettered by Notting Hill. It's also a handy alternative if you want to avoid Children In Need!
9pm, Channel 4

Clear And Present Danger
The third Jack Ryan outing is also the weakest, but it is Harrison Ford and he's always among the most watchable actors. It's also far more interesting than the book on which it's based, which sent me to sleep several times before I gave up.
9pm, More4

American Gangster
Denzel Washington stars in the true story of Frank Lucas, one of the leading importers of heroin into the US during the 1970s. Russell Crowe co-stars as the detective who brings him down. Absorbing crime drama from the increasingly prolific veteran director Ridley Scott.
11.15pm, Sky Screen 2

Kill Bill Vol.1
First part of Quentin Tarantino's magnum opus as The Bride (Uma Thurman) sets out to take revenge on the assorted villains who tried to kill her.
11.45pm, Watch
