Beverly Hills Cop 7/10

I think previously I had only ever seen parts of the sequels, never the original. It was entertaining enough; I think I mostly watched it for Lisa Eilbacher than anything else. I might watch the second film tomorrow.

Heat and Dust 7/10

A Merchant Ivory production, which has two intertwining stories in two timeframes: one set in the 1920s and the other in the 1980s. The 1920s story is about a newly married English woman, Olivia, who joins her husband in India, and eventually has an affair with the local nawab and runs off with him. The 1980s story revolves around the great-niece of Olivia, who is retracing the steps of her great-aunt to find out what became of her.

I could have done without the 1980s story, which I think takes away from the other part of the film and doesn't really add anything. Overall, it is not up there with Howards End and The Remains of the Day, but it is still a solid outing.
