Just catching up with BBC America schedules, to check that they're still nourishing our international broadcasting reputation midweek with old episodes of Star Trek, and whoa...... !
0600 PUNISHER: WAR ZONE. A 2008 re-boot of the Marvel Comics character, battling a disfigured mob boss known as Jigsaw. "The performances are largely awful, the tone is inconsistent and the orgy of above-the-law, right-wing violence is celebrated rather than damned." Empire
0800 OUTBREAK From 1995, but topical again: Army doctor Dustin Hoffman fights the spread of a deadly virus brought into the United States by an African monkey.
1100 2012 Released in 2009, John Cusack tries to lead his family to safety, as the world collapses around them. "This is a wildly over the top anthology of disaster pictures old and new." Pete Bradshaw
1430 X-MEN Released in 2000, a team of superheroes fights a potential tyrant
1700 FURY From 2014, a macho tank drama starring Brad Pitt - shot in Hertfordshire and Oxfordshire !
2000 HITMAN An assassin flees across Eastern Europe after getting caught up in a political conspiracy. "The title is probably misspelt -- there should be an S in front" Sydney Morning Herald
2200 HITMAN (again)
Tomorrow, normality returns, with back to back Star Trek.
