Here we are, like every Monday, talking to you about small screen cinema. Tonight, if you plan to sit in front of the TV, you can choose between touching films (with easy kleenex) such as The Fault in Our Stars (with Shailene Woodley and Ansel Elgort) or romantic films such as The Painted Veil (with Naomi Watts and Edward Norton). Of course, the action touch is not missing with an unmissable TV premiere or Bullet Train starring Brad Pitt.
We point out, for fans of the actor, that until 3 March Sky Cinema Collection is transformed into Sky Cinema Collection – Brad Pitt Mania, with programming dedicated to him.
