NEVER SAY NEVER AGAIN
Herald rating: * * *
A Spectre agent has stolen two American nuclear warheads, and James Bond must save the day in this remake of Thunderball, released the same year as Octopussy, which starred Roger Moore. This gave Sean Connery fans a treat - he reprised the role of James Bond, something he said he would never do. Directed by Irvin Kershner (The Empire Strikes Back). (1983)

8.30PM, SKY MOVIES 1
HOUSE OF WAX
Herald rating: * * *
The main attraction in this horror is Paris Hilton, who didn't have to audition for the role - the film was developed around her. The villain's name is Vincent, which is a reference to Vincent Price, who starred in the 1953 original House of Wax. It is scary, though, and better than you might imagine. (2005)

8.30PM, SKY MOVIES 2
KEEPING THE FAITH
Herald rating: * * *
A rabbi, a priest and an old flame from school ... wait, you've heard this? Its actually a good, balanced comedy-drama, with Ben Stiller and Ed Norton playing the men of cloth, two old friends who share an attraction for an effervescent school friend (Jenna Elfman). (2000)
