100 Films update

It's been a long, long time since the last 100 Films update -- closing in on three months, in fact -- and the day of the Oscars seemed an appropriate time to finally post this. Not that anything up for a major award is included. Still, the long gap means there are a huge pile of reviews to cover.

This update, then, I'll be rounding off 2008, dipping the first toe into 2009, and finally (finally!) finishing 2007.

First, the 'new' reviews, being those from 2008 and 2009:

  • 24: Redemption (Extended Edition) (2008)
  • The Aristocrats (2005)
  • Be Kind Rewind (2008)
  • Becoming Jane (2007)
  • The Blues Brothers (1980)
  • Chicago (2002)
  • Clockwise (1986)
  • Cube (1997)
  • Cube2: Hypercube (2002)
  • Cube Zero (2004)
  • Die Hard 2 (1990)
  • Enchanted (2007)
  • The Green Mile (1999)
  • Hellboy II: The Golden Army (2008)
  • Madagascar (2005)
  • The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh (1977)
  • Russian Ark (2002)
  • Scenes of a Sexual Nature (2006)
  • Snakes on a Plane (2006)
  • Son of Paleface (1952)
  • Swing Time (1936)
  • Ultimate Avengers (2006)
  • Ultimate Avengers II (2006)
  • White Christmas (1954)


  • Also, the following shorts...
  • Gasman (1997)
  • Wallace and Gromit in A Matter of Loaf and Death (2008)


  • Plus, thoughts on the Cube trilogy and what makes a film a film?

    Secondly (well, kinda fourthly), the last of the re-posted reviews from 2007:

  • Annie Hall (1977)
  • Berlin: Symphony of a Great City (1927)
  • Bringing Out the Dead (1999)
  • Bullets Over Broadway (1994)
  • The Crowd (1928)
  • Fantômas: In the Shadow of the Guillotine (1913)
  • Fantômas: Juve Versus Fantômas (1913)
  • Goodfellas (1990)
  • The King of Comedy (1983)
  • Manhattan (1979)
  • Manhattan Murder Mystery (1993)
  • Mean Streets (1973)
  • The Naked City (1948)
  • New York Stories (1989)
  • The Paleface (1948)
  • Taxi Driver (1976)
  • Traffic in Souls (1913)


  • And finally, some more shorts...
  • Manhatta (1921)
  • À Propos de Nice (1930)
  • Skyscraper Symphony (1929)


  • From here on it's just '09 reviews then. Which I'm rather behind on; and I'm nowhere near where I need to be to hit 100 by December either -- at my current rate, I won't even make it to 40...
