CBS begins its coverage of the 2018 NCAA men’s basketball tournament at noon, with TNT joining at 6 p.m. ET and TBS an hour later.

THE BEGUILED By David Bianculli

In 1971, Clint Eastwood starred in an unusual period movie, directed by Don Siegel, called The Beguiled, in which he played a wounded Union soldier imprisoned behind enemy lines in a Confederate women’s boarding school.

BENJI By David Bianculli

MOVIE PREMIERE: Yes, Benji is back — and he’s still a rescue dog. This 1970s canine cinema character, played (of course) by a new four-legged feature star, is revived for a new era, but with the same feel-good, avoid-the-treacle family film approach.
