One of my New Year's resolution is about watching (and reviewing) a bit more movies this year. So I thought I might as well share (some of) those reviews here:

A ★★★★★ review of Late Shift (2025)
Pretty much what I expected after watching the trailer: A very stressful, yet extremely well-made movie with an important message. Guess this won't be for everyone (and especially: not every mood), but for what it [i]wants[/i] to be, it's absolutely perfect! At first, I was a bit worried about it being too black-and-white when absolutely everybody seemed angry, hostile and impatient. But in the end, the script turned out a lot more nuanced than I thought (most evident in the "lost watch" subplo…

Vorfall in Mittelfranken - Nagel in Halloween-Süßigkeit gefunden
Eine Mutter macht eine gefährliche Entdeckung: In einer Halloween-Süßigkeit ihrer Tochter steckt ein Nagel. Die Polizei ermittelt. Im Rest Bayerns blieb die Nacht weitgehend ruhig.

Hill Street Blues was the only one of these I watched a lot of, and I loved it. I read H:LOTS (loved it) but never watched the show. Tried to watch NYPD Blue but it came out at a time when I wasn't watching much TV. #CopTV #copshows

The 7 best police procedurals of all time
There’s more to cops and robbers than just nabbing the bad guy at the end of the show

I am quite keen to watch The War Between The Land And The Sea on iplayer.
But we need to consider tactics. Will the folks sit and watch it with me at Xmas? If they would that'd perhaps be better than whatever drivel quiz shows and police car chase stuff they normally make me watch.
If they won't I'll be be postponing it three weeks for no reason.
🤔
Might be nice to watch it in the new bedroom but that probably won't have a bed or a chair until the new year.
