Absolutely nothing to report this week! There aren't too many new releases on the horizon, either. Well, it depends how you define "the horizon": there are tonnes coming later in the year, but not in the next couple of weeks. Never rule out sale purchaes, though — I'm now expecting something next week, in fact.

Zack Snyder's Justice League (2021)
[#115 in 100 Films in a Year 2021]
+ the only special feature, a 25-minute featurette titled Road to Justice League, which is broadly promotional in tone and therefore not particularly insightful. A full-on Snyder commentary would've been nice.

I was going to say it had been a fairly quiet month for my collection, but then I realised I had nine titles turn up in a single week just a fortnight ago — that's a fairly large pile for a single week by almost any standard. But around that, there were zero additions the week before it and just one last week, and this week there's only two. Still, that's a fairly steady amount, all things considered.
I'm reflecting on the whole month like this because it's that time again: the monthly running time update. Exciting days.

Eurovision Song Contest: Rotterdam 2021
Watching the next day, just like last time (i.e. two years ago), because I wasn't able to watch it live and iPlayer takes forever to put such a long, live show up after broadcast. It's not the same as being able to follow along on Twitter, but oh well. Anyway, I thought it was mostly a good final this year — a surprisingly strong lineup of songs — although the eventual winner was one of the few underwhelming ones, which was a shame.

More next Sunday.
Devil's Cargo (1948)
It all unfolds as a surprisingly decent little mystery — no great head-scratcher, but it offers enough twists and turns to keep it lively. The conclusion may stretch credibility, and our hero more chances upon the identity of the killer than actually deduces it, but it suffices for a short B-movie.Read more here.
Resident Evil: Apocalypse (2004)
Where the first film was a riff on something like Assault on Precinct 13, this sequel turns its attention to another John Carpenter classic, clearly trying to be a version of Escape from New York... It’s a perfectly serviceable storyline, and I have no problem with movies broadly borrowing storylines and whatnot in homage to other flicks. The problem is, Apocalypse is an awfully written and produced film.Read more here.

Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom (1984)
[4th or so watch]
Rewatchathon 2021 #16
Continuing my Indiana Jones rewatch. This is actually my first time seeing it fully uncut: in 1984, the UK release was edited to get a PG from the BBFC, and that version persisted even until the DVD release — the Blu-ray was the first version to be uncut here. Conventional wisdom has always held it to be the worst film, at least of the original trilogy, although it's had vocal fans for years. I'm sure I saw it less often than Raiders or Last Crusade when I was a kid; it definitely stuck in my mind less.

MST3K: The Return of the Final Countdown
So, I popped on this telethon finale for the MST3K Kickstarter just to see if anything interesting was going on with it… and ended up having enough fun that I stuck with it for the whole five-hour shebang. It's all available to replay, though I suspect it's less fun not watching live — I mean, you can't join in with the Jackbox game, for one thing.
Murder, They Hope
1x01 The Bunny Trap
First episode of a spinoff/continuation series (whatever you wanna call it) from the TV movie trilogy of Murder on the Blackpool Express, Death on the Tyne, and Dial M for Middlesbrough. I thought the hour format might tighten things up a bit, but if anything it feels even less focused and more ridiculous. Maybe future episodes will be better.

11x02 Cry Wilderness
“I’m afraid this movie might not be very good...”
So, I said I'd jump ahead to better-regarded episodes, but it turned out I didn't have to jump at all: Cry Wilderness seems to be widely regarded as the best episode of MST3K: The Return (aka season 11), and it also happens to be episode 2, so I haven't had to watch anything out of sequence. Hurrah! Unlike the first episode, this one hits the ground running and maintains a pretty consistent level from there. It was enough to convince me to back the Kickstarter.

I have no idea how many times I've seen Raiders — the above count is a total punt.

11x01 Reptilicus
“Something is rotten in the state of Denmark... and it’s this movie!”
With a new MST3K Kickstarter underway, I figured I should finally watch episode(s) from the last one, (a) because I should've got round to them ages ago, and (b) to see if I want to back this new Kickstarter. This one... left me unsure. You see, I always really like the idea of MST3K in theory, but I feel like whenever I actually watch it I’m less convinced. There’s a sense of “throw anything at the wall and hope some of it sticks” about the jokes, rather than the constant barrage of zingers that you’d ideally find. But some of it does stick, so...
Anyway, apparently this is one of the weaker episodes of the revival season, so I might jump ahead to some I've heard are better, to let it put its best foot forward.

Also this week, there was 1 new film review...
Nomadland (2020)
at times the film arguably slips into documentary: most of the supporting cast are real people, playing themselves or versions thereof, so when these people Fern encounters tell their stories, it not only feels real, it is real. There’s a lot of sadness — in the events that have brought people to this place, and in the struggle to live this lifestyle — but a lot of happiness in what it’s given them, too. The net result is a dignified, deeply humane portrait of people who we might describe with negative words like “homeless” or “dispossessed”, but who in reality are free, in their way. It makes for a powerful, quietly moving experience.Read more here.

This week's biggest release, in just about every sense, is Arrow's 4K box set of Battle Royale, which includes the sequel on regular Blu-ray. I already own Arrow's previous Blu-ray release of BR from over a decade ago, and shamefully have never watched it. This new set should replace that, but the old one has a couple of physical extras that have gone walkabout from the new edition, and it's rather nice in and of itself, so I'm loathe to part with it. I also own both films on DVD and I really should get rid of them now; indeed, I'm not sure why I didn't just get rid of my DVD of the first film last time. It's going now. But my DVD of the second edition comes in a limited edition tin, and so, as a limited edition in fancy packaging, I am once again loathe to say goodbye to it. Sometimes I think I need help...
Speaking of which, I gave in and bought the pretty Curzon Artificial Eye Bong Joon-Ho box set a lot of people have been chatting about. This is now the third edition of Parasite I own, and the second editions for Parasite: Black & White, The Host, and Snowpiercer. That leaves three films in the set I don't have, although none have special features, which bugs me, especially as two of them (Mother and Memories of Murder) have been released in English-friendly editions with extras. Why the hell did I buy it, then? Well, three films I don't own at all isn't that bad a hit rate; this edition of Parasite does have a couple of extras I don't own elsewise; and the transfer of Memories of Murder has a better colour palette than the Criterion edition... although I'd still like to pick that up sometime for its special features.
Yeah, maybe I do need help...

The 93rd Annual Academy Awards
aka the Oscars. I thought it was quite a good ceremony this year, actually — the differences to normal may have been forced by COVID, but it seemed to make it an actual celebration of the films and filmmakers rather than attemps to please the imagined viewing audience with sketches, etc. Well, until the final few minutes, anyway, when the brazen rearrangement of categories led to a damp squib of a finale. Shame.

[#87 in 100 Films in a Year 2021]
+ the audio commentary by Stuart Galbraith IV (it’s billed as a “select scene” commentary, but what that means here is that Galbraith just doesn’t have enough material to cover the full feature, tapping out before the 65 minute mark). Also the two trailers, which (aside from the alternate US version of the film and a booklet) are all the extras the disc has to offer.

Collection Count
Collection Count tracks my DVD/Blu-ray collection via a number of statistics every week.
This week's additions include only my fifth UHD title this year. That might not sound like a particularly tiny number — it's more than one per month average, and certainly more than I've bought DVDs — but, considering my overal Blu-ray count has gone up by 75 in that same time, it's fewer than you might've expected. Nonetheless, I'm sure it'll hit the magic 100 soon. I've already got one definitely coming later this month, and a couple more I'm very likely to order; plus there's always the chance I'll cave to some multibuy offer or other. (I dread to think how quickly I've got to 100 UHDs compared to how long it took me to amass 100 DVDs back in the day...)
Also this week: a haul from the recent UK Criterion sale, which pushes my Blu-ray collection past the 1,500-title mark, and gets my film count ever so close to 3,000...

The British Academy Film Awards 2021
Part 1 Opening Night
Part 2 Awards Ceremony
I thought splitting the usual awards in two might be a bit pointless, but the "Opening Night" part was rather good — it took awards that are normally dumped in an “also awarded” montage and did a complete 180 on that, not only presenting them but taking time to discuss them. Nicely done.
[Watch both parts (again) on iPlayer.]
The Many Faces of Sherlock Holmes
This TV special was made to tie-in to the release of Young Sherlock Holmes in 1985, but nowadays can be found on Arrow's Blu-ray release of the Hammer Hound of the Baskervilles, the link being it's presented by Christopher Lee. Lee is a consummate pro — you feel like the first time he ever saw his script for this was as he read it off cue cards on camera, but he still gives a good go of injecting some personality. The disdain with which he says “Star Trek’s William Shatner” is magnificent.
Sadly, that can’t be said of much else in this perfunctory overview of Holmes on stage and screen, which plays like someone reading out a Wikipedia entry. At times it takes its title too literally, devolving into no more than a list of names. There are some interesting clips from very early and obscure films and TV adaptations, which is nice, but the long section devoted to excerpts from the Basil Rathbone films feels unnecessary nowadays when you can easily watch the whole films (and you should, most of them are really good).

King Kong (1933)
Beauty and the Beast is reimagined as a monster movie in this iconic classic. Obviously some of it has aged (not just the effects, but some broadly racist attitudes around Pacific islanders and the ship’s Chinese cook), although its pre-Code roots allow it some unexpected liberties (from gruesome deaths to an unmistakable sexuality around Fay Wray — all within PG levels, but still). Take all that in your stride, and King Kong absolutely holds up as an adrenaline-fuelled spectacle.Read more here.
Palm Springs (2020)
it’s definitely a funny, likeable, surprisingly romantic (but not twee) film. Indeed, even without the time loop USP, Palm Springs would be welcomed because it hits a really good tone on the romance angle. It doesn’t dive into full romcom cheesiness, but it’s also not that kind of “tacked on love story that the filmmakers clearly wish they didn’t have to bother with”Read more here.

The Midnight Library by Matt Haig
Pages 1–41
I normally prefer to log books by chapter numbers, as page numbers can vary between editions, but sometimes books just don’t have chapters. The Midnight Library does... sort of. They’re not numbered, only named, and it looks like most are only a page or two long (there are 14 in these first 41 pages alone), so numbering them myself doesn't seem much use. So, page count it is.

And there were 3 new film reviews, too...
Godzilla (1954)
more than just the blockbuster entertainment of its day, Godzilla is a serious-minded work. A giant monster stomping on cities — or, if you prefer, a man in a rubber suit stomping on models — may have soon become fodder for the kind of movie fans who enjoy pulp entertainment, but, in its original incarnation, it’s an analogy for the terror of the nuclear bomb. Released just nine years after the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, it’s one of the first films to deal with that scar on the Japanese national psycheRead more here — including my thoughts on the US re-edit: Godzilla, King of the Monsters!
Godzilla: King of the Monsters (2019)
feels like a combination of the two previous MonsterVerse films. As a direct sequel to Godzilla (2014), it brings in plot threads and a couple of supporting characters from that movie. It also adopts the dark visual style of Gareth Edwards’ movie, eschewing the colourfulness that was part of Jordan Vogt-Roberts’ contribution in Kong: Skull Island. But what director Michael Dougherty does retain is that film's pulpiness in the storyline.Read more here.

King Kong (1933)
[2nd watch]
Rewatchathon 2021 #11
I also watched the "lost spider pit sequence" recreation, created by Peter Jackson and Weta while they were working on his 2005 remake. The making of their clip is covered in a half-hour segment of the main feature's 2.5-hour making-of documentary, and that behind-the-scenes glimpse is even more impressive than the finished piece. The amount of time and effort and skill that Jackson & Weta put into creating such a short sequence — something they themselves describe as “just a bit of fun” — is phenomenal.

Sátántangó (1994)
[#74 in 100 Films in a Year 2021]
Blindspot 2021 #4
A seven-hour black-and-white 'slow cinema' Hungarian art drama? Crikey! Thankfully, it’s split into 12 parts, so I’m going to watch it in chunks (if all goes to plan, I'll finish it over the long Easter weekend). Today: parts 1–3.
