Film 4 re-launches tonight, going free-to-air and keeping
its +1 channel, but film four weekly is no longer with us. First up, from 9pm, is the brilliant Lost in Translation with
the gorgeous Scarlett Johansson.
Other films to look out for this week, perhaps not in the
same class but still worth a watch, are - Get Over It (Kirsten Dunst, e4,
Monday, at 9pm), The Hot Chick (Rachel McAdams, BBC1, Wednesday, at 11.15pm)
and Kirsten is back on, with Eliza Dushku, for cheerleader fun in Bring It On
(Saturday, Channel 4, at 10.20pm
With the Summer schedule packed full of successful imports -
inc, Huff, Monday, FX, at 10pm and The L Word, Saturday, Living tv, at 10pm -
another series is now looking to make a successful transition to Uk screens.
Jennifer Love Hewitt's Ghost Whisperer is on Tuesday on e4 at 9pm. Channel 4 usually is a good set of
channels for imports to continue their initial success and Jennifer is, of
course, a very popular lady!
Saturday night will, in this case, be an extremely good
night for those who appreciate actresses prepared to strip off for lesbian sex
scenes. The L Word aside, Uktv Drama will be showing the entire excellent BBC
drama Tipping the Velvet again - an 1890s romp with Keeley Hawes and Rachael Stirling. Well worth sitting through, from 9pm.
Finally, back to this evening (Sunday at 7pm on
Sky Three) and another chance to see Ultimate Super Vixens. Entertaining and
sexy, a bit like one of its subjects Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
