2 Fast 2 Furious
3rd February at 18:45
The second movie in the blockbusting action franchise hit cinemas two years after the original, with the pedal pressed all the way down. Former cop Brian O’Conner has moved to Miami, where he plans to turn over a new leaf. However, his love of street racing prompts him to fall foul of the law, and only a deal with the FBI to help take down a ruthless drug kingpin will keep him out of jail. Paul Walker reprises his role as O’Conner, while Chris ‘Ludacris’ Bridges and Tyrese Gibson co-star.
Bad Boys
3rd February at 20:35
Martin Lawrence and Will Smith play detectives Marcus Burnett and Mike Lowrey in this first outing in the action franchise. When millions of dollars’ worth of heroin recovered from a robbery is stolen from under their noses, they have three days to get it back before the narcotics division is shut down. But what should be an open-and-shut case hits closer to home than they imagined. Stay tuned during Super-Charged Week as Smith and Lawrence return in sequels Bad Boys II and Bad Boys for Life.
Alita: Battle Angel
7th February at 17:00
Robert Rodriguez directs this take on Yukito Kishiro’s blockbusting manga series, about a cyborg with no memory of who she once was. Named Alita by the scientist who revived her, she learns she has a human brain and, eager to know more, soon discovers there is also more to her creator than meets the eye. Determined to unravel the mystery of her past, Alita embarks on a violent journey of discovery. Rosa Salazar plays the eponymous lead, while Jennifer Connelly and Christoph Waltz co-star.
Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw
8th February at 21:25
A stellar cast features in this spin-off tale, focusing on chalk-and-cheese duo Luke Hobbs (Dwayne Johnson) and Deckard Shaw (Jason Statham). They are forced to put aside their many grievances and join forces to take down Brixton Lore (Idris Elba). He’s a psychopathic former MI6 agent with a brilliant intellect, pretty much indestructible, and in possession of a deadly pathogen he’s not afraid to use against humankind. Watch out for appearances by Ryan Reynolds and Helen Mirren.

Look no further for Valentine’s Day romance than this channel premiere. Plumbing brothers Mario and Luigi’s business is on the brink of disaster, and they hope solving a city leak will put them back on top. Instead, a pipe whisks Mario to the Mushroom Kingdom, where Princess Peach rules, while Luigi ends up in the Dark Lands, where overlord Bowser aims to make Peach his bride. Mario and a host of characters set out to overcome all obstacles, save Luigi, protect Peach and preserve their business.
John Wick
21st February at 20:00
This beautifully choreographed action thriller not only revived Keanu Reeves’ flagging acting career, it spawned two sequels, a comic book and a spin-off. It all began here, with assassin John Wick, retired from his work and ready to embrace domestic bliss. However, the sudden death of his wife leaves him reeling, and when the puppy that was her last gift to him is killed by a mobster’s goons, Wick sets out to have his bloody revenge. Willem Dafoe, Alfie Allen and Michael Nyqvist also feature.
John Wick: Chapter 2
21st February at 21:50
Three years after the hit first film, Keanu Reeves is back as the stylish assassin in this sequel. After striking a peace deal with Abram Tarasov, Wick aims to go back to his quiet life. However, Camorra crime boss Santino D’Antonio has other plans, and calls in the debt that Wick owes him. Although he initially refuses (with violent consequences), Wick eventually agrees, only for the situation to spiral quickly out of control. Riccardo Scamarcio, Common and Ruby Rose are among the cast.
John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum
22nd February at 22:05
The third film in the blockbusting franchise catches up with the legendary assassin as he tangles with Manhattan’s criminal underworld while having a price on his head thanks to a fatal mistake. Every hired gun in the city and beyond is eager to bring Wick down and claim the bounty. With almost every form of help denied him, the suited and booted ‘excommunicado’ Wick must use every ounce of his wits to stay alive. Keanu Reeves again heads the cast, with Halle Berry and Laurence Fishburne.
