BIANCULLI’S BEST BETS

TBS, 8:00 p.m. ET

While watching Woody Harrelson do such outstanding work on HBO’s True Detective, take a moment to catch him in a very different role, but commanding the screen just as effectively, in this 2009 zombie action comedy. Jesse Eisenberg, Emma Stone star – and Bill Murray turns in a very memorable cameo.

CASABLANCA

TCM, 8:00 p.m. ET

Classic film noir movies don’t get more classic than this 1942 Humphrey Bogart film. Watch it again, and remind yourself why. Ingrid Bergman co-stars.

HANNIBAL

NBC, 10:00 p.m. ET

SEASON PREMIERE: Fans of this show have been waiting all season for the second course of this grisly buffet to begin. Tonight, it does, and with the roles reversed: Hannibal's outside of the prison bars looking in, and the investigator is inside looking out, accused of being the killer himself.

REAL TIME WITH BILL MAHER

HBO, 10:00 p.m. ET

Just before the Oscars Sunday, there’s an appearance tonight by one of the nominees up for Outstanding Actor: Bruce Dern, star of Nebraska – and, just before that, a recurring player on HBO’s own Big Love.

THE STING

Flix, 10:10 p.m. ET

I love this movie. And here it is again: Made in 1973, one of the best teamings by Robert Redford and Paul Newman, and one of the best performances by Robert Shaw, who would go on to star as Quint in Jaws just two years later.
