A Trifecta of What’s Best on the Box for Sunday 5 August 2018
Today’s Number One Film: 
Blindspotting, 7.15pm & 9.30pm MovieTowne Port of Spain. Watch this if you liked Do the Right Thing, Happiness or the Donald Glover TV series Atlanta. Carlos
Lopez Estrada’s first feature tries to be all things to all men – inner
city crime flick, buddy movie, romantic comedy, ‘hood flick, serious
social critique, even hip hop musical – and ends up being most things
for most men (or at least those who can distinguish between
tongue-in-cheek and fist-in-face). Because it sets out to do so very much
in its 95-minute runtime, it necessarily spreads itself thin at
moments. But it still remains a clever, very funny, deeply touching and
remarkably emotionally honest film that remains, throughout, highly
entertaining.
A Trifecta of What’s Best on the Box for 12 November 2017
*The Usual Suspects, 12.25 midday Fox Classics. Watch this if liked The Sixth Sense, Unknown or The Magician of Lupin.
One of the best thrillers ever made, this extremely clever whodunit
featuring a genuinely stellar cast – Gabriel Byrne, Benicio Del Toro,
Kevin Spacey, Kevin Pollak, Chazz Palminteri (and a Baldwin) – has more
twists than a family pot of spaghetti. Any thinking person lucky enough
never

If it had not been picked a couple o’ months ago, BC on TV’s preferred instalment of BC on TV’s all-time favourite film (The Godfather Part II BEST FILM OF THE DAY, 1.25pm FoxClas) would certainly have got the nod; even with The Godfather taken out, as it were, it remains very difficult to pick the “top” three from what is probably the best Sunday for quality film choice in years.
Today’s Number One Film:
The Usual Suspects, 4.50pm Fox Classics. Watch this if liked The Sixth Sense, Unknown or The Magician of Lupin.
