Ripper Street
4x01 The Strangers' Home
2 hours 11 minutes long and in 2.35:1? Why, it's Ripper Street: The Movie! It isn't, obviously, but it certainly feels different at that length and ratio. And, of course, it's really good.
[Watch it exclusively on Amazon Prime Instant Video.]

this week on 100 Films
No reviews but lots of special posts this week on 100 Films in a Year.
First: I finished my look-back at 2015 with my bottom 5 and top 20 (yes, 20) films I watched last year:

Then: I announced a new series for 2016, detailing my 100 favourite movies:

(More on that in a moment.)
Penultimately: I kicked off a new year of my "What Do You Mean You Haven't Seen" series with my 12 choices:

Finally: not a review per se, but I posted the first of my 100 Favourites this morning:
Aladdin (1992)
More favourites -- and, hopefully, some good old fashioned reviews -- next Sunday.

Hailing from slap-bang in the middle of the Disney Renaissance, Aladdin may not be quite as strong as the films either side of it (Beauty and the Beast and The Lion King), but it’s the next best thing.Read more here.
More favourites -- and, hopefully, some good old fashioned reviews -- next Sunday.
