Apollo 13 (1995) depicts the aborted space mission of 1970 by telling a high-tech space story with a down-to-earth voice. Ron Howard's direction is supported by an excellent cast, including members of Howard's own family and a technically savvy yet naturalistic screenplay.
Apollo 13 is on TNT at 11P.
Mean Girls (2004) does not at first seem as smart as it actually is. And as subversive as it actually is. Funny too, truly funny. If you have been avoiding this one as I did for years, give it a shot. Written by Tina Fey, Mean Girls tells that age old tale of teen hierarchy and pecking orders. Lots of juicy twists and surprises in this one.
Mean Girls is on MTV at 10:30P.
Exodus: Gods and Kings (2014) got mixed reviews but who cares? With Christian Bale as Moses, I can forgive some overlong dialogues and one dimensional characters. The cast put in a genuine effort and the parting of the Red Sea is epic.
Exodus: Gods and Kings is on MOMAX at 9P.
