Last Action Hero (1993)
5SPIKE, 10.00PM ★★

 In this film, Arnold Schwarzenegger
plays a fictional hero who comes to
life. It should have been a winner, with
an intriguing premise, a big star, plus
John McTiernan (Die Hard) and Shane
Black (Lethal Weapon) directing and
writing respectively. But in the end
it was a critical and commercial flop,
a mess of good ideas poorly executed.
Even if it’s a curio, it did blaze a kind
of trail for future genre parodies.

The Secret Life of Walter Mitty (2013)
FILM4, 5.00PM ★★★

 Mild-mannered Walter Mitty’s life
is controlled by his overbearing
mother. He escapes by imagining
himself living in the worlds pictured
on the covers of Life magazine and
thereby becoming a pilot, sea captain

Dog Soldiers (2002)
HORROR CHANNEL, 9.00PM ★★★

 This low-budget British horror-
comedy manages the rare feat of being
both funny (in an OTT way) and scary.
Sean Pertwee’s army sergeant leads
his men on a mission in the Scottish
Highlands; it feels routine, until they
run into a pack of bloodthirsty beasts.
Neil Marshall’s snappy direction
and the rather convincing werewolf
costumes just about compensate
for a predictable plot twist.
