BIANCULLI’S BEST BETS

 

HBO, 8:00 p.m. ET

This 2014 Tom Cruise sci-fi film, co-starring Emily Blunt, is the action-movie equivalent of Groundhog Day: The characters have to relive a certain point in time until and unless they learn their lesson – in this case, how to defeat a deadly alien enemy. If you want to enhance the feeling, record this movie before watching it, then stop halfway through and go back to the beginning. Rinse and repeat.

 
  
 
 

TCM, 8:00 p.m. ET

As cinematic romantic triangles go, they don’t get much better than this. In this 1940 romantic comedy, directed by George Cukor, Katharine Hepburn is the fiancé caught between two men – and Cary Grant and James Stewart play the men. Oh, and neither of those men is her husband-to-be (played by John Howard), so technically, this is a comedy about a romantic rectangle.

 
  
 
 

NBC, 10:00 p.m. ET

Next Sunday, in prime time, Saturday Night Live will present a live, star-studded special honoring the show’s 40 seasons. Meanwhile, tonight in prime time, it repeats a vintage episode with at least one classic bit. It’s the Oct. 27, 1990 episode with guest host Patrick Swayze, and includes the sketch in which Swayze and repertory member Chris Farley portray rival male-stripper finalists at a Chippendales audition.

This 1941 comedy is about a heavyweight boxer (Robert Montgomery) who dies a very untimely death – so untimely that it wasn’t supposed to occur, which results in him being reincarnated in the body of a recently deceased multi-millionaire. If the plot sounds familiar, maybe that’s because Warren Beatty remade it as Heaven Can Wait in 1978, casting himself in the starring role, and changing the athlete from boxer to pro quarterback.

 
  
 
 

NBC, 11:29 p.m. ET

Because everyone at SNL is readying for next week’s prime-time anniversary celebration, tonight’s SNL is a rerun – of last year’s show starring the very talented Amy Adams.
