Am surprised this isn’t on Nine. Rather “shafted” to 9Go.

It’s still a bit odd-ball for main channel I’d guess

Doesn’t seem “sexy enough” for the main channel despite its Oscar success.

Edward Scissorhands airing on 9Go! tonight, guides indicating that it hasn’t aired on that channel before, licenced by Fox (Disney). Previously on other networks too.

Could this be a sign of things to come for Nine from this year? Seemingly Seven’s previous 20C Fox output (from early 2018), as suspected, is no longer and other MS members noticed TV show titles from this studio on at least 9Now and some late night re-runs on 9Go! about a year ago.

My all-time favourite Tim Burton flick and arguably Depp and Ryder’s best work, also Depp’s rise to stardom performance.

From Sony. I watched this about a year ago or so, can’t recall whether I rented or was on a streaming service (wanted to see at the cinemas but missed it). I read the book, this adaptation overseen by Reese Witherspoon’s Hello Sunshine isn’t as good, but I still really enjoyed it and should please mystery-drama-thriller fans with a few twists and turns. The picturesque swamp setting aided a lot. Should do decent for Seven including 7Plus.

Saw it on a plane at the end of 2022. Didn’t like it particularly.

The Pink Panther Strikes Again (1976) was screened as an afternoon film last Saturday, but it aired on 9Go! instead of 9Gem like previous screenings. Must’ve Nine already lost the rights to the two reboot films with Steve Martin as Inspector Clouseau?

Seven will repeat The Bourne Legacy (2012) this Saturday at 7.30pm. It will be actually the first time I get to see the fourth title in the Jason Bourne franchise. I missed it when it screened in cinemas, then on Nine.

It’s a decent movie, underrated, despite the series/continuity let down of no ‘Jason Bourne’ / Matt Damon starring. I reckon Renner did his role quite well, Weisz was also solid and that henchman (American actor who’s been in everything - Zelco Ivanic or however you spell it) was menacingly good. I think I first saw it on Seven when they premiered it, would’ve been late 2014 or in 2015.

The henchman sent to kill Renner and Weisz’s characters in Manila was played by Louis Changchien.

Australia’s Shane Jacobson had a small role as head of security of the Manila plant of the pharmaceutical company.

The movie itself was quite good, with lots of action scenes. Renner, Weisz and Edward Norton all played their characters well.

When Matt Damon returned for the 5th entry “Jason Bourne” about 8 years ago I was a little disappointed production-wise, although it was great to see him back (and he did well) and also enjoyed Tommy Lee Jones’ role and one of his last mainstream-blockbuster performances.

Interestingly it appears Seven don’t have the rights to that title, yet (Nine actually acquired its first run before they even got the original movies which Seven previously had until very late in their last NBC-U output along with The Holiday, Love Actually, The Dressmaker - I don’t think this ever aired on Nine and the F&F franchise).

A couple of forgettable midday movies

Thursday 7 March midday Seven

Friday 8 March midday Seven aka Broken Ties (previously on 7Plus)
