When’s that show you mentioned starting, TMINE? Including Auf kurze Distanz and Dead Man Working

Every Friday, TMINE lets you know when the latest TV shows from around the world will air in the UK

Like Christmas, Thanksgiving in the US seems to last about a fortnight, killing all work within its vicinity. As a result, there have been no new acquisitions this week and even premiere dates have been thin on the ground.

However, Walter Presents does have two new German thrillers and although these aren’t definite premiere dates, the best guess is that both of them are going to be available from next Friday (December 7), so I thought I’d tell you about them now before it’s too late. In both cases, these were Wednesday movies on the TV channel Das Erste that have been split into two episodes for Walter’s benefit.

No sign yet of a rescheduled premiere date for Das Boot, by the way. Looks like Sky Atlantic are going to wait until it’s finished airing in Germany before showing it here.

Premiere dates

Auf kurze Distanz (Point Blank)

Auf kurze Distanz (Point Blank)

An undercover agent (Tom Schilling) suffers from inner conflict as he is supposed to betray his friend who is part of the Serbian sports betting mafia in Berlin.

Dead Man Working (Deadly Money)

Dead Man Working (Deadly Money)

Despite already having an English title, Walter has decided to rename this banking thriller Deadly Money. When a top banker falls from a roof at the pinnacle of his career, a bitter battle erupts between his employer and his widow.

Movie Tuesday: Deadpool 2, Downsizing, Game Night, The Man Who Knew Infinity, Rampage, Solo, Christopher Robin, Oceans 8 and Jack Reacher: Never Go Back

6 November 2018 Rob Buckley 9 Comments

Okay, so it’s been a while since TMINE last reviewed some movies (cough, cough, six months, cough, cough). Oh dear. As with all these things, it’s not because I’ve not put the prep work in, it’s just the difficulty of finding the time to do the actual writing. Still, this failing does make Weekly Wonder Woman look like an almost hourly occurrence by comparison. Sigh.

Anyway, here’s Movie Monday (on a Tuesday, which emphasises the problem yet again) to rectify that deficit. After the jump, in varying degrees of sketchiness, six months’ worth of movie reviews. See you in a mo…

What TV’s on at the BFI in December? Including The ABC Murders, The Midnight Gang and Sound of Movie Musicals

1 November 2018 Rob Buckley 1 Comment

Every month, TMINE lets you know what TV the BFI will be presenting at the South Bank in London

December is usually when the BFI starts dolling out its TV presents to one and all, like Scrooge after the third ghost has visited, and this year is no different. As well as the traditional League of Gentlemen chat and the usual Missing Believed Wiped revelation of what previously lost TV has been recovered this year (as well as a new animated Doctor Who episode anyone?), there’s a whole bunch of TV previews with starry Q&As afterwards:

  • Sound of Movie Musicals, with Neil Brand
  • The ABC Murders with Rupert Grint and Tara Fitzgerald
  • The Midnight Gang, with David Walliams and Alan Davies
  • Mrs Brown’s Boys Christmas Special with Brendan O’Carroll, Jennifer Gibney, Paddy Houlihan and Danny O’Carroll

There’s a short season devoted to the rise of alternative comedy, while Nish Kumar and special guests will be discussing the new wave of TV satire. There’s even a sitcom workshop for young people. All that before Christmas, too!

Full details after the jump.
