this week on 100Films.co.uk
For the first time this year (well, unless you count December 2025's posts being in January), both parts of a 100Films.co.uk monthly review have arrived in the same week!
As always, it begins with a general overview of the month...
...and concludes with my "failures"...
More next Sunday? Stranger things happen at sea...

Collection Count
Collection Count tracks my DVD/Blu-ray collection via a number of statistics every week.
I expected a bunch of preorders to turn up today, but I guess yesterday's Bank Holiday has delayed them. Next week, then — along with the preorders for the week after, I'd hope. It won't be anything like a record-breaker, but it could be my biggest week since... um, a couple of weeks ago.
Number of titles in collection: 3,676 [up 1]
Of which DVDs: 965 [no change]
Of which Blu-rays: 2,711 [up 1]
— of which Ultra HD Blu-rays: 518 [no change]
Number of discs in collection: 8,825 [up 1]
Number of films: 4,726 [up 2]
Number of additional cuts: 487 [no change]
Number of TV episodes: 10,134 [no change]
Number of short films: 1,293 [no change]
See you next week, faithful reader.

Fiction
The Valley of Fear by Arthur Conan Doyle
Part 2, Chapters 6–8 [the end]
Well, I enjoyed that a good deal more than its reputation would suggest. It's still probably the lesser of the four novels, and so short that it barely warrants calling that; and the Sherlock Holmes-starring first part is really an aggrandised short story, which could have been considerably brisker if it didn't repeat iself so often; and the second half is very pulpy, not that that's necessarily a bad thing. So, perhaps it borders on "guilty pleasure" territory, but hey, at least I enjoyed it.

Completed 'story mode' in just over 2 hours. There's a lot of other content, though — in some respects, the story just feels like an extended tutorial.
