It’s a bold claim, but it’s true: This low-budget 2003 film is the scariest, most engrossing aquatic thriller since Jaws. Blanchard Ryan and Daniel Travis play a couple who go out on a scuba boat while on vacation in a foreign land – and the boat accidentally leaves them behind, stranded in the open ocean in waters occupied by, among other creatures, sharks. The sound and images in the movie are hauntingly naturalistic, putting you right there in the water – even when you

Tonight is TCM’s memorial tribute to the late Ernest Borgnine, an evening that begins at 8 p.m. ET with a biographical Private Screenings special of the famed character actor. That’s followed by this 1955 production of Marty (pictured), the Paddy Chayefsky story about a lonely butcher – the movie version, not the original live TV drama, which starred Rod Steiger. That’s followed at 10:45 p.m. ET by 1953’s From Here to Eternity – and set your recorders for 1 a.

Michael (Jeffrey Donovan) accomplished his mission last week, which gave Fiona (Gabrielle Anwar) a promotion of sorts to an official agency asset. However, she remains behind bars, at least for now, as Michael chases down his latest info in hopes of finding, and punishing, the man who framed Fiona, and betrayed them both.

It was inevitable, and here it comes: The night before NBC presents the opening ceremonies of the 2012 Summer Olympic Games from London, NBC devotes its entire hour of Rock Center to Olympics build-up hype, with Williams reporting live from England. Where it’s the middle of the night, but hey – this is going to be an Olympics that’s tape-delayed in prime time, but available live elsewhere, including your home computers.

Part 2 of 2. Parker Posey continues her guest role as the new woman in Louie’s life – the woman who tests his patience, and his eagerness, by running him through a gauntlet of emotional, physical and embarrassing tests. What a role for Posey – and what fantastically well-acted reactions from Louis C.K.

The Kotex ad seen in the accompanying picture is only one of the international ads featured in tonight’s special – which, of course, is interrupted by more commercials. I know, it sounds absurd, but there’s usually at least one ad from abroad wild and crazy enough to make it worth the trouble of watching. And sitting through all the other commercials.

This 1997 movie is a masterpiece of modern film noir, and features all the necessary elements, including an intricate plot, unexpected double-crosses, charismatic but tough protagonists and antagonists, and a drop-dead-gorgeous femme fatale. Curtis Hanson directed this moody, slippery adaptation of the James Ellroy novel, and cast it with leads who would quickly become bigger stars: Russell Crowe, Kevin Spacey and Guy Pearce. And the femme? Kim Basinger, delivering a career-best performance.
