this week on 100 Films

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

Death Race (2008)
everything that happens is an excuse to get to some action sequences, in which cars race around a circuit and attempt to destroy each other in some moderately creative ways. It caters perfectly to its intended audience: there’s fast cars, sexy girls, lots of action, big explosions. It doesn’t always make sense — those sexy girls are really shoehorned in — but that doesn’t really matter.

Iron Man 2 (2010)
I think Iron Man 2 has been underrated — I would contend that it is, more or less, as good as the first film. That didn’t seem to be the consensus at the time of release, which ranged from mediocre to rubbish, and I think this is in part due to viewers’ expectations. When one thinks a first film is better than it is, expectations for the sequel are heightened; when said sequel is only as good as the first film really was, it looks worse by comparison

Also this week, I pondered the movies everybody's seen but you, as dictated by iCheckMovies.com, including the top 10 I've not seen. Do have a look at my post and see what your ones are.

More next Sunday.
