Film choice

My Old Lady (2014)
BBC ONE, 12.20AM; NOT WALES ★★★

 Kevin Kline plays a broke American
who inherits a Parisian flat but comes
across a complication in the form of
Maggie Smith’s 92-year-old, who has
taken up residence there. There’s
pleasure in seeing egos pricked and
lessons learned in this tight chamber
piece, but it loses some of its focus,
and Smith (firing on all waspish
cylinders) and Kristin Scott Thomas
(as her daughter) are a bit wasted.

Aquaman (2018)
SKY CINEMA PREMIERE, 8.00PM ★★

 Aquaman (Jason Momoa) is deep-
sea royalty raised on land after his
mother, the Queen of Atlantis (Nicole
Kidman), shacked up with a surface-
dweller. Years later, he’s summoned
home to face his warmongering
brother King Orm (Patrick Wilson),
who wants to raise hell on humankind.
The film tries muscleman pageantry,
odd-couple high jinks and kitschy
combat – but none of it coheres.

Rambo: First Blood Part II (1985)
ITV, 10.45PM ★★★

 Sylvester Stallone reprises his role
as war veteran John Rambo, taking
matters into his own hands when he’s
sent back to Vietnam to survey the
locations where American PoWs are

something of a camp classic. Stallone
and James Cameron co-wrote the
wonderfully crude screenplay.
