Jarhead

Saturday 2 December, 10pm, Virgin TV Ultra HD (CH 175/999)

Jake Gyllenhaal is great in this first-person account set during the Gulf War that puts you inside the state of mind of a Marine during a conflict. Director Sam Mendes subverts what you expect a war film should be. Instead, it’s a character study about why people are drawn to war and the psychological toll that action (or indeed, inaction) takes on them.

Unbroken

Saturday 9 December, 9pm, Virgin TV Ultra HD (CH 175/999)

An apt title for this movie by Angelina Jolie, who directs the true story of Olympian and war hero Louis “Louie” Zamperini (Jack O’Connell) who is held captive by the Japanese in a prisoner of war camp. With a script by the Coen brothers, it’s an epic war film. But at its heart is the age-old story about humanity’s perseverance in the face of overwhelming odds.

Hail, Caesar!

Sunday 10 December, 9pm, Virgin TV Ultra HD (CH 175/999)

From the Coen brothers comes this all-star comedy set during the latter years of Hollywood’s Golden Age, that lampoons and pays tribute to the era. Starring (deep breath) Josh Brolin, George Clooney, Alden Ehrenreich, Ralph Fiennes, Jonah Hill, Scarlett Johansson, Frances McDormand, Tilda Swinton and Channing Tatum. All-star is right!

Steve Jobs

Monday 11 December, 9pm, Virgin TV Ultra HD (CH 175/999)

This era-spanning biopic from Danny Boyle (Trainspotting, Slumdog Millionaire) examines the tumultuous life of Apple’s Steve Jobs. With Michael Fassbender in the title role, we get to see the ego, temper, and messiah complex Jobs was renowned for – particularly when it comes to his board, his co-workers and his daughter.

Zero Dark Thirty

Wednesday 13 December, 9.30pm, Virgin TV Ultra HD (CH 175/999)

This film depicts the decade-long operation that spanned two US presidential administrations to track down Osama bin Laden. But this is no stars and stripes chest-beating flick. Director Kathryn Bigelow doesn’t pull her punches as it dispassionately explores the lines crossed to accomplish that mission, and Jessica Chastain excels in her role as the key operative.

The Dark Tower

Wednesday 20 December, 9pm, Virgin TV Ultra HD (CH 175/999)

Based on the ambitious and expansive novel series by Stephen King, The Dark Tower sees the last Gunslinger, Roland Deschain (Idris Elba) locked in an eternal battle against the Man in Black, Walter O’Dim (Matthew McConaughey) to stop him from toppling the Dark Tower that holds the universe together. Action-packed sci-fi.

District 9

Christmas Eve, 9pm, Virgin TV Ultra HD (CH 175/999)

Neill Blomkamp has gone on to direct big budget movies like Elysium and Grand Turismo, but it’s his low budget 2009 effort that is most fondly remembered (and was produced by Peter Jackson, no less). When aliens land in Johannesburg, they don’t invade. They’re looking for refuge. With parallels to the apartheid era, it’s still a brilliant, timely watch.
