THE LADYKILLERS
Herald rating: * * *
The Coen brothers fall short of expectations in this remake of the classic 1955 British black comedy, delivering a jumble-sale of mismatched characters and oddly paced scenes. It manages to hold up somehow, with Tom Hanks playing the lead role, a Mark Twain-style southern gent and con man who organises a group of misfits to rob a riverboat casino. (2004)

10PM, SKY MOVIES 2
THE GRUDGE
Herald rating: * * *
There is a Japanese belief that when someone dies while enraged, a curse is left behind that will kill everyone it touches. Japanese writer-director Takashi Shimizu helmed this American version of his own Ju-on series of films, with Sarah Michelle Gellar as an American exchange student in Tokyo, who hears weird scratching noises coming from upstairs. (2004)
