Films on TV

Some British indie films, one of the best Bonds, and double dose of vampires, it’s this week’s Films on TV:

Exit Through The Gift Shop – Banksy’s Oscar nominated documentary. An admission: I haven’t actually seen it and really should have. Normally I wouldn’t go on about films I haven’t seen, but this is a must see, and now is the perfect opportunity. Saturday, Channel4 9pm

Fishtank – Andrea Arnold’s acclaimed gritty council estate drama. Again I haven’t seen it (there’s a theme here), but I plan to rectify that. Also… FASSBENDER. Sunday, BBC2 & BBCHD 11pm

Let The Right One In (pictured) – A film I have seen. 2009’s a bit hazy now, but this Swedish coming-of-age-vampire-film was my favourite film of the year. It really is stunning. And better than the (nevertheless decent) US remake Let Me In. Monday, Film4 9pm

Twilight – I know right? I’m sooo emo. But I like Twilight and I don’t care who knows. In my opinion it’s a well made fantasy romance, with some decent action scenes that plays to a neglected demographic – teenage girls – and doesn’t patronise them. Wednesday, Channel4 8pm

Casino Royale – Daniel Craig brought a bit of class back to James bond after the laughably bad and increasingly camp Bronholm years. Craig displays vulnerability never seen in the character as Bond learns the ropes of being a superspy, and gets shat-on when it comes to love. Friday, ITV2 9pm
