4 P.M. (AMC) CASINO (1995) Martin Scorsese directs this crime drama based on the nonfiction book by Nicholas Pileggi that follows Ace Rothstein (Robert De Niro), a gambling savant hired by the Mafia to run a casino in Las Vegas in the 1970s and to ensure that the bosses back home always receive a piece of the profits. His muscle is Nicky Santoro (Joe Pesci), whose criminal activities and proclivity for violence spiral out of control. “Mr. Pileggi, Mr. De Niro and Mr. Pesci, all ‘Goodfellas’ alumni, are back in familiar capacities, joining Mr. Scorsese to do what they do best,” Janet Maslin wrote in The New York Times. “But,” she added, “ ‘Casino’ also has a new ingredient in Sharon Stone,” above with Mr. De Niro, “who will be nobody’s idea of Hollywood fluff after this spectacular, emblematic performance. As Ginger McKenna, a gorgeous hustler who falls from the ranks of Vegas’s royalty to its lowest depths, she represents the full range of this film’s stark extremes.” Ms. Stone, above with Mr. De Niro, received an Oscar nomination.

11 A.M. (Cinemax) BRIDESMAIDS (2011) Kristen Wiig plays a maid of honor who’s facing financial and romantic woes as she tries to plan the perfect wedding for her best friend (Maya Rudolph) in this comedy about women who love — both men and one another. Ms. Wiig and Annie Mumolo wrote the script, and Paul Feig directed. Melissa McCarthy, who earned an Oscar nomination; Rose Byrne; Wendi McLendon-Covey; and Ellie Kemper play the bride’s friends, who make it through a dress fitting, a bachelorette party and a bridal shower. Ms. Wiig and Ms. Mumolo, who each received an Oscar nod for best original screenplay, “ask the question facing every modern woman who jumps at the chance to enact the latter-day equivalent of being passed from man to man, father to husband, if without a bushel of dowry corn and 12 goats: How do you survive getting down the aisle?” Manohla Dargis wrote in The Times. “With a little, or rather a lot, of help from your friends, or so say the filmmakers, for better for worse, for richer for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, till misunderstanding, jealousy, other people or just life us do part.”

8 P.M. (Fox Movie Channel) THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA (2006) Anne Hathaway plays Andy Sachs, a budding journalist and personal assistant who suffers at the velvet-gloved hand of her tyrannical boss, Miranda Priestly (Meryl Streep, above right with Ms. Hathaway), in this adaptation of Lauren Weisberger’s tissue-veiled portrait of the fashion magazine business. Ms. Streep plays the title character with a perfectionism that “has rarely seemed so apt,” A. O. Scott wrote in The Times, adding that Stanley Tucci, as Nigel, Miranda’s right-hand man-slave, “has never been better.”’ And he called Emily Blunt’s character, another minion, “a minor tour de force of smiling hostility.”

9 P.M. (BBC America) THE HOUR In the second season’s penultimate episode, Bel (Romola Garai) argues with Freddie (Ben Whishaw) about the best way to continue their investigation of Cilenti (Vincent Riotta) after it appears that he probably ordered one of their sources to be killed.

10 P.M. (A&E) SHIPPING WARS In the latest episode of this series, which follows independent truckers as they carry oddball packages and oversize loads, Jarrett Joyce hauls a rare electric sports car across the country while Marc Springer must deal with trailers that are also road hazards.

10 P.M. (Bravo) TOP CHEF: SEATTLE Emeril Lagasse is the guest judge of the latest Quickfire competition, in which the contestants must harvest and serve oysters.

10 P.M. (E!) THE SOUP The host Joel McHale surveys reality show clips from the year in the first part of the annual “Clipdown.”

10 P.M. (HBO2) GROSSE POINTE BLANK (1997) John Cusack is Martin Q. Blank, an angst-ridden professional hit man who, on the advice of his psychiatrist (Alan Arkin), goes home to suburban Detroit to attend his 10-year high school reunion and reconcile with the girlfriend (Minnie Driver) he stood up on prom night. Writing in The Times, Janet Maslin said this dark comedy, directed by George Armitage, had “enough wild-card energy to keep it bright and surprising.” She added, “Paid assassins are seldom as endearing as Mr. Cusack, whose wary style is perfect here and who seems like a sweetheart no matter what his business is supposed to be.”
