Thursday Thrills: From Classic Westerns to High‑Octane Action on Great! Movies Action
At 08:00 the channel offers a nostalgic ride with John Wayne’s classic Western, War of the Wildcats, and later that evening you’ll find a mix of gritty thrillers, action‑packed blockbusters, and even a few high‑school drama moments. Below is a quick look at the highlights.
Classic Westerns Re‑born
The 56‑minute opening episode of War of the Wildcats pits a tough cowboy against an oil baron in 1900s Oklahoma, offering a straightforward fight for power and love. If you prefer a longer version, the repeat at 10:20 gives you an extra 79 minutes of the same story, allowing you to soak in the dusty grit.
Modern Thrillers
From the reclusive old man in Wanted: Dead Or Alive to the conspiratorial The Expatriate, the channel keeps the suspense alive. The 30‑minute episode of Wanted: Dead Or Alive (S1 Ep3) offers a tense chase, while the 2‑hour The Expatriate (2012) dives into CIA intrigue.
Action Blockbuster
No Thursday would be complete without The Expendables, featuring Stallone, Statham and Jet Li. The 56‑minute clip at 20:00, followed by a 1‑hour 14‑minute extended version at 21:01, delivers classic star‑power action that remains reliable for fans.
Anime & Reality
If you’re in the mood for something lighter, the late‑night Dragon Ball Super runs two 30‑minute episodes from 22:15 to 23:15. For those who enjoy real‑world heroism, Coast Guard Alaska at 23:15 showcases daring sea rescues, while Air Rescue (03:35–04:50) provides everyday heroics.
Bottom Line
Thursday’s lineup offers a mix of classic Westerns, gritty thrillers, and high‑energy action that should keep viewers engaged. While some titles lean on nostalgia, others bring fresh excitement. For a varied evening, start with The Expendables and finish with Dragon Ball Super.
