this week on 100 Films

2 new reviews were posted to 100 Films in a Year this week, and they were...

Ministry of Fear (1944)
To say too much about what Ministry of Fear is actually about would ruin it, which I don’t want to do because in fact it’s a great twisty little thriller, a rather Hitchcockian ‘wrong man’ tale with a baked MacGuffin.

Robin Hood: Director's Cut (2010)
In short, the pace is off. It drags for most of the middle, waiting for something of genuine interest to occur. The climax feels slightly rushed... The Director’s Cut is 15½ minutes longer, a potentially significant chunk that could throw the whole centre of the film out of whack

More next Sunday.
