1. Tin Man (Prime, Friday and Saturday 8.30pm) is a re-working of the Wizard of Oz. ‘Keep your expectations low and it’s not that bad,’ says one internet review. 2. A much better fi lm is Catch Me If You Can (NBN, Friday 8.30pm) with Leonard DiCaprio, a fascinating study of a real-life con man. 3. Sunday night’s choice is poor. On NBN there’s a pedestrian Bruce Willis thriller, on Ten the tril- lionth repeat of Jerry Maguire, and if you don’t want to watch a French war movie, or either of the two British period dramas on off er, it’s on with the woad and Mel Gibson easing into his sado-masochistic phase in Braveheart (Prime, 1 2 3 8.30pm).
