Che, was ok, nicely shot, decent script and Benecio was impressive as usual but it was a little plodding for my tastes especially part 2. Maybe if they'd included some of his Congo experiences it'd tightened it all up.

Murder By Decree, a very starry cast and a interesting Holmes Vs Ripper plot make for plenty of fun. My only gripe was with Plummer's Holmes - he was just too nice. I prefer Brett's misanthropic, drug addled depiction but a small complaint in an otherwise excellent romp.

Prince of the City by Sidney Lumet was excellent - a complicated and lengthy miniseries about police corruption in NY. Detailed and well acted by Treat Williams in the lead with a huge cast of familiar faces it's a epic companion peice to Serpico.

Plague Town, was well rubbish, yet another lost-in-woods-terrorised-by-locals film making up for no script with plenty of blood. There's a thousand ways this film could have been better so I won't start listing them here. Avoid.
