No Time To Die, Venom 2, The Many Saints of Newark, The Guilty, and several other films and TV series are making their debut this weekend; here are 10 worth watching.
If for no other reason at all, this weekend is an exciting one because one of the most anticipated films of the last two years is finally in the cinema in the UK and some other countries. The final appearance of Daniel Craig as 007 is finally here, and there is no time to sleep on it. What else is on deck this weekend in film and TV entertainment, you ask. I’ll show you.
1. No Time To Die
No Time to Die is a 2021 spy film and the 25th in the James Bond series produced by Eon Productions. In this instalment, Bond has left active service and is enjoying a tranquil life in Jamaica. His peace is short-lived when his old friend Felix Leiter from the CIA turns up asking for help. The mission to rescue a kidnapped scientist turns out to be far more treacherous than expected, leading Bond onto the trail of a mysterious villain armed with dangerous new technology. The film stars Daniel Craig and other usual suspects like Ben Whishaw and Ralph Fiennes, alongside Rami Malek as the villain. No Time To Die is alive in cinemas in UK, Nigeria this weekend.

Caught up in the changing times is the uncle he idolizes, Dickie Moltisanti, who struggles to manage both his professional and personal responsibilities—and whose influence over his nephew will help make the impressionable teenager into the all-powerful mob boss we’ll later come to know: Tony Soprano. The film has a star cast of Michael Gandolfini, Corey Stoll, Vera Farmiga, Jon Bernthal, and Ray Liotta. It debuts in cinemas today, 1 October.
