JOHN CUSACK'S reputation as one of the most versatile actors in Hollywood is demonstrated by tonight's double-bill. In Grosse Pointe Blank (8pm Sky Premier), a black comedy from George Armitage, he plays an assassin sent back to his home town to carry out a hit. While there, he reacquaints himself with an old flame (Minnie Driver) at a high-school reunion (right). In the satellite premiere of Jack Bull (10pm Sky Premier), Cusack takes the role of a rancher who becomes a vigilante in his lawless frontier town.

It is easy to forget that George Michael started off as a teen-dream in Wham!. Those early days - when he and Andrew Ridgeley entertained young fans by stuffing shuttlecocks down their shorts - are captured in Wham! in China (9pm VH1).
