Shaft (2000)
[#37 in 100 Films in a Year 2019]
Would it've been cool if they'd gone ahead and called this Shaft 2000? I feel like it would've. Maybe by the year 2000 the idea that sticking 2000 on a title would make it cool was over, I dunno, but I feel like it would've worked. (And because they didn't, by this summer we'll have three movies called simply Shaft that all actually exist in the same continuity. Madness.)

Deadwood
1x05 The Trial of Jack McCall [2nd watch]
+ the audio commentary by actors Brad Dourif and Robin Weigert. It was only sporadically illuminating again, bit I kind of feel I've committed myself to watching them now.

1x04 Here Was a Man [2nd watch]
+ the audio commentary by actors Molly Parker and Keith Carradine. It starts off even more reticent than Milch’s on the pilot, but there are a couple of interesting nuggets.

Deadwood
1x01 Deadwood [2nd watch]
With a continuation movie finally on the way sometime soon ("spring" is the official date and, well, it's already March), it's about time I did something I've been meaning to do for a very, very long time: finish Deadwood -- which begins by rewatching what I'd seen before, i.e. season one and the first episode or two of season two. Frankly, I thought it got off to a bit of a slow start, and it's remarkable how dated it looks (it is almost 15 years old, mind), but we'll see.
I also listened to the audio commentary on this episode by creator & episode writer David Milch, which was sometimes interesting but rather patchy. It was also riddled with spoilers for later in the season, some of which I fortunately remembered from my previous viewing, some of which I didn't. Oh well.

The Matrix (1999)
[5th watch]
Rewatchathon 2019 #8. I can't remember when I last watched The Matrix, but it's not logged on here, so it's been at least 11 years. It still holds up, of course.

this week on 100 Films
After a few fairly quiet weeks at 100 Films in a Year, it's kind of a busy one! Firstly, now that it's March, my look back at February...
There was also my monthly TV review...
And 2 new film reviews were published too...
Green Book (2018)
Serenity (2019)
More next Sunday.

Green Book (2018)
White people tell black people all about racism (again) in this year’s surprise Best Picture victor... The reaction to Green Book has been an odd one. It was initially well received, winning the People’s Choice Award after its premiere at TIFF, and racking up acclaim from both critics (a Certified Fresh 79% on Rotten Tomatoes) and audiences (8.3 on IMDb, which places it 128th on their Top 250 list). But the more widely it’s been seen and discussed, the more the tide has turned, especially as a more diverse audience has come to it.Read more here.
Serenity (2019)
Sorry, Browncoats — this has nothing to do with Joss Whedon’s sci-fi classic. But if you’re instead worried this might supplant that in the general consciousness, never fear: despite coming with the pedigree of a cast headlined by Oscar winners Matthew McConaughey and Anne Hathaway (plus Jason Clarke, Djimon Hounsou, and Diane Lane), and a quality writer-director in Steven Knight (the man behind Locke and Peaky Blinders), this Serenity is a dud of epic proportions. I mean, the fact that, even with those names involved, it’s being dumped in the UK as a Sky Cinema Original should tell you something…Read more here.
More next Sunday.

Friends
1x01 The One Where Monica Gets a Roommate [many-th watch]
Can't believe it's over five years since I last started a watch-through of Friends! And this isn't even that, just an episode watched at random by accident. May need to do a full rewatch soon, though...
