Henry Czerny On The Return of Kittridge In Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One
by Mike Ryan (from Uproxx)
I actually read this a few days ago but forgot to share it. It's a great read for fans of the M:I series.

Collection Count
Collection Count tracks my DVD/Blu-ray collection via a number of statistics every week.
Seven additions this week, include a trio of new releases (one in 4K; two arriving early), a trio of Arrow sales purchases (one in 4K, and also an upgrade from Arrow's regular BD), and one from Amazon's Prime Day offers (the third season of anime Attack on Titan. I've not actually got round to watching seasons one and two yet, which did make buying season three feel a bit silly, but while it was on offer I couldn't resist. Now I've just got to resist completing my collection with the parts of season four, in the hope they bundle them into a complete set eventually (as I've got complete series sets for the seasons so far).)
Number of titles in collection: 3,122 [up 6]
Of which DVDs: 1,029 [no change]
Of which Blu-rays: 2,093 [up 6]
— of which Ultra HD Blu-rays: 268 [up 2]
Number of discs in collection: 7,643 [up 10]
Number of films: 3,824 [up 6]
Number of additional cuts: 322 [up 1]
Number of TV episodes: 9,611 [up 22]
Number of short films: 1,062 [up 6]
Plus, it's once again time for the monthly running time update...
Total running time of collection (approx.):
543 days and 13 minutes.
(Up 2 days, 6 hours, and 35 minutes from last month.)
See you next week, faithful reader.

Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny (2023)
[#49 in The All-New 100 Films in a Year Challenge 2023]
My first trip to the cinema since Dune: Part One in October 2021! But I had to go for Indy. (And, soon, for Mission #7.)

John Wick: Chapter 4 (2023)
[#48 in The All-New 100 Films in a Year Challenge 2023]
Santo vs. Evil Brain (1961)
If it weren’t for the strange confluence of MST3K piquing my interest and then Indicator releasing a box set, I’m not sure I’d have ever seen this movie. I’m not yet wholly sure whether that’s a good or indifferent thing, but at least it’s not bad.

Collection Count
Collection Count tracks my DVD/Blu-ray collection via a number of statistics every week.
Four new titles this week, including that rarest of sightings: an addition to my DVD collection! That was the Ian McKellen / Judi Dench Macbeth (shot for TV in the 1970s, so never likely to see a Blu-ray release). I don't know why I'd not bought it before, really, as I've wanted to rewatch it for years (having last seen it at school, presumably off a VHS, while studying the play for the first time, and so being less enamoured of it than I am now).
The other three titles are all new (or new-ish) releases from Radiance, including their first box set — which shipped with two corrected discs outside the box. Well, at least I don't have to sign up for some replacement programme and wait for them.
Number of titles in collection: 3,116 [up 4]

this week on 100Films.co.uk
June was the fourth month in a row where I didn't publish any new reviews to 100Films.co.uk. Oh dear. Hopefully I'll restart again soon.
In the meantime, July has begun, and so that means it's time for the usual lookbacks at last month. First, the general review of the month...
And second, a bunch of stuff I didn't watch last month...
Perhaps there'll be more next Sunday. If not, see you in August!

Collection Count
Collection Count tracks my DVD/Blu-ray collection via a number of statistics every week.
This week brings a heady mix of new releases (Avatar 2 in 3D; anime Pompo the Cinephile; '70s Japanese action in the Game trilogy from Arrow); a belated pickup from earlier in the year (Park Chan-wook's Decision to Leave); and a pile of titles from US label Vinegar Syndrome, including three in 4K. An eclectic bunch, to be sure, but that's half the fun.
