A Trifecta of What’s Best on the Box for Sunday 29 July 2018
Today’s Number One Film: 
Blindspotting, 9pm Gemstone Cinema @ Digicel IMax, 11pm MovieTowne POS. 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
