Blue Is The Warmest Colour 
Finally after all these years! Though it would be a tricky watch in a post Portrait Of A Lady On Fire world…but it just about keeps up, encapsulating so much what made that a masterpiece. Discovery, mistakes, imperfections, naivety, curiosity, growth, trust, bonding, longing, jealousy and place more than adequately fill the 3 hours. The direction is equally raw and delicate, the performances true and love how the colour blue permeates the cinematography. 4.5/5 (Film 4)
The Sting 
The creakingly old feeing ADR, music, transitions and sound effects chip away some love, but it’s still a great unraveling story that builds to a fun conclusion. Probably not 7 Oscars worthy. 3.5/5 (ITV 4)
The Blue Brothers 
First time viewing…which is extra strange as I had the Gameboy game ‘Blues Brothers Jukebox Adventure’ for some inexplicable reason aged 8 or 9. Thought it was delightfully stupid and a total mess. Some scenes (especially the chases) go on minutes more than they should. The intro section really drew me in and set the table with some nice little inventive gags, but two-and-a-half-hour runtime was the biggest joke of the thing. 2/5 (ITV 4)
Demolition Man 
Dutch angles, 100mph zooms, Snipes channeling Rodman, hilarious names, fish out of water fun and a Director trying to out match Verhoeven… all plugged into a great premise with charming 90’s futurism. They actually hit the nail on the head with predictions more often than not, with some being ultra reminiscent of the world outside my 2021 window - which I really wasn’t expecting. Sags a fair bit in the middle and the Bullock shtick gets a bit tiresome, but a fun romp nevertheless. 3.5/5 (ITV 4)
