this week on 100 Films

Just 1 new review was posted to 100 Films in a Year this week, but that was due to my duo of end-of-year summary posts.

First up, the Full List of what I watched in 2010 -- including exciting statistics about my viewing!

Secondly -- and finally for the year (other than the handful of reviews still to come) -- I look back on my Bottom 5 and Top 10 films I saw in In Retrospect.

Plus, as I said, that one review:

The Hurt Locker (2008)

The opening quote and closing scenes make explicit the main theme — war is a drug, one James is addicted to — but I’m not sure how present this is in the body of the story. Rather, the majority feels like an attempt to convey the experience of living as an explosives expert in a warzone, with James’ ‘addiction’ just a side effect of that.

More next Sunday.
