There are two super - but very different movies - on the box tonight, and it's semi-final week on Strictly. Plus Rylan Clark has a sit-down chat with Cher!
The Grinch, 6.35pm, RTÉ One
The Grinch (voiced by Benedict Cumberbatch) lives on the outskirts of Whoville, a place inhabited by Christmas-loving, festive-spirited Whos who go all out in terms of decorations, gifts and carol singing.
As his heart is two sizes too small, the Grinch struggles to get into the swing of things with Christmas bringing back painful memories of holiday seasons spent alone in an orphanage.

This year he has had enough of the Whos and their Christmas excess and decides to steal it from them.
On his mission to steal Christmas, the Grinch's cool hard facade begins to crack and soften in a way he has never experienced before.
The animation is extraordinary and the vibrant world of the film is simply marvellous.

A Quiet Place Part II, 9.00p, RTÉ 2
Winding the clock back to Day One when the aliens arrived, John Krasinki delivers a devastating prologue that really is out of this world. From there, we spool forward to Day 474 as the surviving members of the Abbott family leave what's left of their refuge and begin the long walk to who knows where.

This is a film that begins with the motherly advice to "just breathe" - and then does its damnedest to make sure you do the opposite for 90 minutes. If anything, the twist and thrills are heightened by how long we've been away from the big screen, and how thankful we are to be back.
