Tonight on TV: Today’s Movies February 1st

How is your weekly stress and tiredness? If you want to relax at home in front of the TV tonight, we advise you, as always, to bet on some good films, also because in the programming of free-to-air and satellite channels there are some for all genres and moods. They range, for example, from the action movie The Town directed by and starring Ben Affleck to the comedy Flavors and Disappointments, with Catherine Zeta-Jones and Aaron Eckhart.

The titles not to be missed

Sinopsys: We are in Boston, in the Charlestown neighborhood. Doug’s sports career is soon interrupted: wrong friendships and the legacy of a criminal father lead the young man to frequent the underworld. He thus finds himself at the head of a gang of thieves, who set up robberies in the most prestigious banks in the city. Everything goes smoothly until, during the umpteenth heist, his old friend Jem decides to take Claire or the director of the institute hostage, even if for a short time. After the girl’s release, Doug chases her to understand her habits. Falsely casual appointments and fleeting encounters will lead to the birth of an unpredictable love story. However, you know, lies have short legs.
