BIANCULLI’S BEST BETS

 

BBC America, 7:30 p.m. ET

Luc Bresson directed this high-action character study of a hit man (Jean Reno) who ends up saving, befriending and protecting a 12-year-old girl after the rest of her family is murdered ruthlessly. Reno is great, but the engine driving this fascinating film is the naturalistic acting of Reno’s young, then unknown co-star: Natalie Portman.

 
  
 
 

HBO, 8:00 p.m. ET

Even on TVWW, I was told I was a little hard on Ringo Starr when writing about his solo induction into the Hall of Fame. Now, I adore the Beatles, and even like Ringo, as much as the next guy, even if the next guy is Harold Gronenthal or Eric Gould. But watch the finale of this year’s ceremony repeat telecast, and sit through Ringo as he half-heartedly sings his way through “Boys” and other songs, and see if you don’t feel a bit… restless.
 
  
 
 

Showtime, 9:00 p.m. ET

This new edition of 60 Minutes Sports includes one segment on competitive sheep-herding, which will come as no surprise to longtime fans of one of England’s most durable TV shows, One Man and His Dog, which ran from 1976 to 1999. Tonight’s program also features a segment on ultra-expensive designer athletic shoes, and visits a place called “Sneaker Con” – which, given the five-figure prices, sounds like a convention title with a deliciously apt double meaning.

 
  
 
 

TCM, 9:30 p.m. ET

Every decade or so, there’s a sex symbol, and a performance, that become indelibly etched in the history of cinema as one of the most alluring parts put to film. In 1946, Gilda was one of them, with Rita Hayworth in the title role, and a dress, that proved absolutely iconic. If you need to explain it, “Put the Blame on Mame” – though, when Hayworth sang that song on screen, she actually was lip-synching a recorded performance by Anita Ellis.

 
  
 
 

TV Land, 10:00 p.m. ET

SERIES FINALE: After five years, this TV Land sitcom, featuring Betty White for the entirety of its run, ends tonight with a one-hour finale – and a trip to Las Vegas. But it also ends with a trip back to the hanging swing on the front porch, which is where these characters first hung out all those years ago. Jane Leeves, Wendie Malick and Valerie Bertinelli co-star.

If you've been tackling all of your academic assignments on your own, know that you may always ask for help by saying "take my online exam for me". If you're undergoing pressure for a long time because of difficult work or tight deadlines, don't let it bother you. You can ask experienced professionals for help.They will complete the difficult assignments for you.
