DATE MOVIE
Herald Rating: *
A severe shortage of laughs in this supposed parody of teen films like American Pie and Meet the Parents. A shame, it looked quite promising in the trailers. (2006)
8.30PM, SKY MOVIES GREATS
THE PERFECT STORM
Herald Rating: * * *
A heavily fictionalised guess at what happened to the fishing boat Andrea Gayle and its crew during the "storm of the century" in the early nineties off the coast of New England. A powerful film with a hint Shakespeare's The Tempest about it, starring George Clooney, Mark Wahlberg and Diane Lane. (2000)
7.05PM, SKY MOVIES 2
NANNY MCPHEE
Herald Rating: * * * *
Emma Thompson plays a magical nanny who sorts out some troublesome tots. Mary Poppins similarities aside, it's one of the better kids' films of recent years, with production design that places it alongside the Harry Potter films or Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. (2005)
