TCM’s Memorial Day marathon of war movies continues, and its final prime-time presentations are hallmarks of the genre. First up, at 8 p.m. ET, is 1949’s Twelve O’Clock High, about the Army Air Corps in England during World War II. Released only four years after the war was over, it’s both respectful and raw – showing both the heroism of the men stationed there, and their many missions, but also the raw effects of what, in time, would come to be called Post-Traumati

PETALS ON THE WIND By David Bianculli

This is a telemovie sequel to January’s Flowers in the Attic, starring the same actors as the twisted adults (Heather Graham, Ellen Burstyn), but featuring new co-stars as the incestuous children, who, in this sequel, are 10 years older and no longer children at all. Playing the part of Cathy, the imprisoned girl played by Kiernan Shipka of AMC’s Mad Men, is Rose McIver (pictured), who may be familiar from her recurring roles as Tinker Bell on ABC’s Once Upon a Time and Vivian

'FARGO' DEPUTY MOLLY WILL BE A SURVIVOR (BY GOLLY) By Ed Bark

NO TIME FOR SERGEANTS By David Bianculli

Here’s a much lighter movie than most of this weekend’s Memorial Day-related fare. Andy Griffith stars as a simple farm boy who joins the Air Force, dons a uniform and wreaks simple havoc with his commanding officer. This 1958 movie basically inspired, with a change to the Marine Corps, that Jim Nabors sitcom of the Sixties, Gomer Pyle, U.S.M.C. – which, it should be noted, was a spinoff of The Andy Griffith Show. Let the circle be unbroken…

THE NORMAL HEART By David Bianculli

Larry Kramer adapted his own 1985 play for this new HBO telemovie, which stars Mark Ruffalo as a gay activist at the start of the AIDS crisis, and Julia Roberts as a doctor who’s one of the first physicians to track and examine and warn about the spread of what was eventually identified as the HIV virus. It’s a movie that works very well in its strongest scenes, capturing some excellent performances, including standout ones by supporting player Jim Parsons and costar Matt Bomer (pict

MAD MEN By David Bianculli

MIDSEASON FINALE: Last week’s episode ended with a rare moment of tenderness between Don (Jon Hamm) and Peggy (Elisabeth Moss). Tonight, even though it’s Memorial Day weekend, and many shows are taking the week off, Mad Men is continuing with a new episode as scheduled – basically because it’s going on an extended vacation anyway. After tonight’s seventh episode of the series’ final series, Mad Men is going on hiatus until next year, when it will present the l
