this week on 100 Films

2 new reviews were posted to 100 Films in a Year this week, and they were of two of the most-discussed -- and best -- films of the year so far...

Inception (2010)
This [rather long] review ends by calling Inception a “must-see”. I’m telling you this now for two reasons. Primarily, because this review contains major spoilers, and seems daft to end a review aimed at those who’ve seen the film with a recommendation that they should see it. Secondly, because Inception — and here’s your first spoiler, sort of — also begins at the end.

Kick-Ass (2010)
By using various other superhero movies and TV series as its starting point, but grounding them in (a version of) the real world — with attendant debates about violence etc — Kick-Ass fills a void in need of filling — by which I mean: as Watchmen was to superhero comics, so Kick-Ass is to superhero films.

More next Sunday.
