BIANCULLI’S BEST BETS

 

Starz!, 6:51 p.m. ET

I show this 2011 Martin Scorsese movie in my Film History and Appreciation I class, because its a tale about a young orphan living secretly in the inner workings of a Paris train station in 1931 that slowly, and slyly, becomes much more than that. It ends up being an appreciation, and a sugar-coated, painless-to-swallow history, of the early days of cinema. It’s a total delight, and to say any more would be to dilute some of those delights. The cast is charming, and includes sweet supporting performances from Chloe Grace Moretz, Emily Mortimer, Michael Stuhlbarg, Christopher Lee, Richard Griffiths, Jude Law and, most surprisingly of all, Sacha Baron Cohen. Asa Butterfield and Ben Kingsley star. I guarantee, if you like movies, you’ll like this…

 
  
 
 

ABC, 8:00 p.m. ET

Tonight is the 51st Country Music Association awards show – and for almost 20 percent of that run, Brad Paisley and Carrie Underwood have served as co-hosts. This is their 10th consecutive time appearing as joint emcees, and the scheduled performers include Miranda Lambert (pictured), Luke Bryan, Garth Brooks, Little Big Town, Alan Jackson and others.

 
  
 
 

PBS, 8:00 p.m. ET

Two weeks ago, Nature told the story of a man who raised some orphaned otters and released them successfully back into the wild. Tonight, there’s a similar theme, as a nature photographer develops an unexpected and unusual relationship with some newborn cheetah cubs, or kittens, or Cheetos, or whatever tiny cheetahs are called. The mom is still around, too, which allows for some “up close and personal” footage of the way a cheetah family relates, plays, hunts, and sleeps. But you won’t see them doing any victory dances, though, because cheetahs never win. For a full review, see Alex Strachan's TV That Matters. Check local listings.
 
  
 
 

TCM, 8:00 p.m. ET

Ernst Lubitsch directed this 1940 comedy, based on the Nikolaus Laszlo play, about two people who work together with friction and animosity, yet unknowingly are in love with each other as anonymous pen pals. It’s the same story recycled for both the Tom Hanks-Meg Ryan movie You’ve Got Mail and the Broadway musical She Loves Me – and here, the passionate postal lovers are played by James Stewart and Margaret Sullavan.

 
  
 
 

USA, 10:00 p.m. ET

USA is promoting this particular episode as one that will stun the Mr. Robot fan universe, and is being presented without commercial interruption. Given that the hero of this story has been targeted by one of his own, in a conspiracy with his own alter ego, expect that whatever happens tonight, it will not be a simple plot twist.

Bu web sitesi tam bir felaket. Sanki 2005'te tasarlanmis ve hiç güncellenmemis gibi. Sayfalarin yüklenmesi sonsuza kadar sürüyor, baglantilarin yarisi bozuk ve düzen hiç mantikli degil. Bir seyler yapmaya çalisarak bir saatten fazla zaman harcadim ve sonra hayal kirikligiyla pes ettim. Dürüst olmak gerekirse, bu bir saka.
