Every day, find the program of films and series to see on TV. Today: John Krasinski at Michael Bay, Jake Gyllenhaal as a frustrated soldier, a science fiction masterpiece and a romantic fresco by Martin Scorsese.
13 Hours by Michael Bay with John Krasinski, James Badge Dale (Ciné + Frisson, 15h33): "Having gone relatively unnoticed, The Hours is nevertheless worth the detour. If there is one thing that is certain, it is that Michael Bay knows how to design action scenes that will take your breath away. Something new, however: here is realism which takes precedence over the spectacular (probably because it is a true story). Casting side, the relatively unknown (at least at the time of the film's release) John Krasinski, James Badge Dale, Max Martini and Pablo Schreiber bring a lot of authenticity to the whole.

Jarhead by Sam Mendes with Jake Gyllenhaal, Scott MacDonald (Action, 3:51 p.m.): "In line with Full Metal Jacket and Tigerland, Jarhead's great strength - the end of innocence comes from his ability to focus on the psychology of the soldiers rather than on the war as such. Metamorphosed for the role ( he has gained several pounds of muscle and followed a rigorous training), Jake Gyllenhaal delivers as always a most intense performance in the skin of a frustrated soldier. " Laurent Schenck
Neill Blomkamp District 9 with Sharlto Copley, Jason Cope (Canal + Cinéma, 6:05 p.m.): "A masterpiece of science fiction inviting the real in the imaginary. Skilfully mixing the spectacular and a strong social message on what is worst in the human being, District 9 is one of these nuggets as it It rarely happens. Directed by the South African visionary Neill Blomkamp, the film is carried by the revelation Sharlto Copley which makes us go through all the emotions. A must see. " Caroline Langlois
Martin Scorsese's Time for Innocence with Daniel Day-Lewis, Michelle Pfeiffer (TCM Cinéma, 8:50 p.m.): "Martin Scorsese weaves with The Time of Innocence a splendid romantic fresco. The staging of the master, almost always in motion, slips into the midst of the New York aristocracy of 1870 in a meticulous and admirable reconstruction. Daniel Day Lewis is impeccable in front of an imperial Michelle Pfeiffer, demonstrating that power was not necessarily held by men, even in the 19th century. The film is a kind of antithesis of Gangs of New York, the words striking instead weapons. " Vincent Formica
