Shane's World
Shane Meadows
2000 UK (1st time)
A 70-minute film consisting of four low-budget shorts, with homemade commercials and filmmaking tips inbetween.
The core problem here is that Meadows, having described his intentions as wanting to inspire people to make films, goes on to show four unremarkable shorts he has made; Considine is the saving grace of this often witty sketch piece.

Thief
Michael Mann
1981 US (1st time)
A professional thief tries to keep his personal and business life separate, and struggles.
Underwhelming effort, lacking the attractive visuals of Mann's best work; its highlight is the finale, but it is too late in the day to save it.
