Dating Death: The Rodney Alcala Story
Alcala, a young man who had recently been released from prison, was picked to appear on the show because of his resemblance to then-candidate Ronald Reagan. However, when Alcala arrived at the studio, he seemed strange and out of place. Cheryl Bradshaw decided not to go on the date with him after all.
It’s a good job that she didn’t because Alcala was actually a serial killer who carried out a campaign of rape and murder from 1968 to 1979 before he was eventually caught. This documentary charts his shocking behaviour and the investigation into his crimes.
Hostages
The 444 days of the Iranian embassy siege are a time that is still remembered today. This documentary tells the story of how Iranian students stormed the U.S. embassy in Tehran and took over 60 Americans hostage, which led to an international crisis and a major media event that lasted for 444 days.
3rd November
Got, Got, Need
In this new series, comedian Jack Whitehall and footballer Jame Redknapp take card collecting to a whole new level when instead of collecting football cards, Jack sends Jamie off to ‘collect’ meetings with actual footballers instead. In each episode, the two comedians take on different challenges - such as playing a game of football with Real Madrid’s Ronaldo or trying to win a signed football from Manchester United’s Ferguson.
4th November
Morbius (2022)
This is a movie that feels like it was made by someone who doesn’t really care about comic book movies. Jared Leto is good in the role but the rest of the cast is forgettable and the movie just doesn’t have much going for it.
6th November
Monday (2020)
Denise Gough and Sebastian Stan star in a steamy weekend fling in Athens. The two free-wheeling spirits meet during a very hot summer and enjoy a steamy weekend fling. However, one half of the pair decides to give up their job to continue the relationship, but will their relationship survive past the Monday? Tune in to find out!

11th November
Ambulance (2022)
In Michael Bay’s action movie, two robbers steal an ambulance after carrying out a heist. It’s then pedal to the metal as they flee from the police and cause mayhem as they race through the streets of LA. The movie is dumb but fun and will satisfy anybody looking for a non-stop thrill ride of a movie.
12th November
Poker Face (2022)
This movie is about a tech billionaire who has a high-stakes poker game with some of his friends. But as the game unfolds, secrets are revealed and an elaborate revenge plot unfolds. There are no reviews for this movie at the time of writing, but with a good cast, including Liam Hemsworth, Elsa Pataky, and RZA, this could be one movie that is worth taking a gamble on.
13th November
9 Bullets (2022)
Lena Headey stars in this poorly-received movie as a former burlesque dancer turned writer who goes on the run with her neighbour’s son when the boy’s family are killed by a local crime boss. The two survive? ..
Critics have panned the movie for its poorly written and edited script, making it difficult to stick with until its resolution. ..
Brazil 2002: The Real Story
Brazil’s 1998 World Cup humiliation was a turning point in their history. Four years later, they made a triumphant return to the World Cup and celebrated their journey with a documentary. This film celebrates their journey from leaving Brazil as a national disgrace to a triumphant homecoming with the World Cup trophy.
Hurst: The First And Only
This new documentary tells the story of Geoff Hurst, from his legendary hat trick in the 1966 World Cup final to his personal losses after retiring from the game. ..
17th November
Aisha (2022)
In “Letitia Wright Starring in ‘The Irish Convict’” Wright tells the story of a young woman who flee persecution and seeks international protection in Ireland. Her life starts to improve when she strikes up a friendship with a convict at an accommodation center. The movie debuted at the Tribeca Film Festival over the summer where it was positively reviewed.
18th November
The Phantom Of The Open (2022)
In 1976, Maurice Flitcroft entered the British Open Golf Championship despite never playing golf. Officials assumed he was a professional player and he was banned from entering again. However, Flitcroft used some clever disguises to enter the Championship several more times.
This movie is about a man who is forced to leave his wife and children behind after a natural disaster destroys their home. He must find new ways to connect with them and make up for the pain he caused them.
19th November
The Reef: Stalked (2022)
The three friends set out on a kayaking adventure on the Pacific Ocean but within hours of hitting the water, their lives are threatened by a great white shark. This belated sequel to the 2010 movie The Reef is better than its predecessor but at least it’s better than Shark Bait, a fairly disastrous water-based thriller that launched on Sky Cinema a couple of months ago.
The Ghost of Richard Harris
The life of the legendary Irish actor is remembered with newly revealed family footage, interviews with the actors who knew him, and contributions from his three sons.
25th November
The Northman (2022)
The cast of “Robert Egger’s critically acclaimed movie about a young Viking prince on a quest to avenge his father’s murder” includes Alexander Skarsgård, Nicole Kidman, and Claes Bang.
The Witch and The Lighthouse was a bit of a letdown for fans of Eggars’s previous two movies, but this new one seems to be more in line with his usual style. It has a lot of action, and some very dark moments that will leave you feeling satisfied.
26th November
The Outfit (2022)
As Leonard struggles to keep his cool in the face of danger, he must decide whether to betray his friends or protect them. With Rylance in top form as a compelling lead, this is an intense and suspenseful crime drama that will keep you on the edge of your seat.
27th November
A Christmas Story Christmas (2022)
The 1983 movie “A Christmas Story” is a mainstay of the festive season in the United States, but it didn’t make much of an impact in the United Kingdom. This is a pity, as it’s one of the funniest Christmas movies of all time and deserves a wider audience outside of the United States. If you haven’t yet seen it, I recommend that you do so in preparation for this sequel which takes place 30 years after the original. ..
In a new movie set in the 1980s, Ralphie (Peter Billingsley) returns to his childhood home to give his kids the Christmas they always wanted but never got. He hopes that this new movie is as good as the original with at least one scene of a kid getting his tongue stuck to a frozen flagpole in a throwback to the first movie.
