A seemingly forgotten classic on Sky Movies Family ch308 at 8pm, Who Framed Roger Rabbit? A surprisingly sophisticated noir thriller, that's only ostensibly for kids.

There's also Taken on Sky Movies Action ch305 at 11pm. Liam Neeson is at his menacing best. The story is paper thin, it's all about watching the Big Man go to town on the people who kidnap his daughter. A taut and effective action thriller.

If neither of those float your boat, you could always go for Raging Sharks on Sci-fi ch130 at 10:50pm. I haven't seen it yet, but it stars Corin Nemec from Stargate: SG1, Corbin Bernsen from LA Law and Vanessa Angel from some stuff I can't remember right now. When a UFO crashes into the sea, it drives the local sharks into a killing frenzy. It sounds trashy and crap, but in a fun way.

Are you sure they are not Nazi sharks in a killing frenzy? Then I would watch.

I've never bothered to check the political leanings of sharks, what with me being a crap swimmer and them being hyper-efficient killing machines. That being said, I'm willing to bet that sharks lean heavily towards objectivism, social Darwinism and, if they knew what the word meant, eugenics. They may not wear the swastika, but I suspect they're Nazis in spirit, if not in affiliation.

Completely last post 'cos off topic.

Shark propaganda, this hyper efficient killing machine business. Seems to me they attack from below and when your back is turned. Perhaps they are Nazis after all.
