Movie night marvels on DStv, 5-11 November

Whatever your mood, DStv has a movie to match this week, from horrific Ripped From The Headlines tales, to dark comedy and thrill rides.

M-Net’s (DStv channel 101) Sunday night blockbuster will be a bit later this Sunday as the channel airs Promising Young Woman at 20:30 rather than 20:00. This will give the investigative team behind Carte Blanche an extra half hour to inform viewers about the most important news in SA.

M-Net Movies 1 (DStv channel 104) takes us down memory lane with the Oscar-winning film Judy, starring Renée Zellweger as Judy Garland. On KIX (DStv channel 114) heist film Skyline Cruisers, and the latest 2021 racing movie Nezha will give you a serious adrenaline boost. Lifetime (DStv channel 131) gets into their new November theme: Ripped From The Headlines movies, with Girl In The Basement, inspired by some of the world’s most shocking criminal cases. And over on Showmax, the dark comedy Happily with Joe McHale and Natalie Zea will deliver some wicked laughter.

It’s all movies and more on DStv, so where else would you want to be?
