this week on 100 Films
4 brand-new reviews were published to 100 Films in a Year this week, and they were...
The Hangover (2009)
Home (2015)
Muppets Most Wanted (2014)
One-Armed Swordsman (1967)
Also, my 100 Favourites series continued with 2 more posts...
Cube (1997)
Die Hard (1988)
More next Sunday.
The Hangover (2009)
The high-concept plot is neat, though not as cleverly executed as it could be. The humour is straightforward, perhaps best exemplified by an Asian guy saying “motherfucker” in a silly high-pitched voiceRead more here.
Home (2015)
Home’s biggest problems are all in its most fundamental aspect: the story. It doesn’t just have plot holes — the whole premise and inciting incident don’t even hang together. I don’t believe this is just a movie for little kids, I reckon it was written by them too. That’s surely the only way to explain its absence of plausible logic.Read more here.
Muppets Most Wanted (2014)
As irreverent and cameo-filled as ever (so many famous people, you won’t even know who some are!), something just doesn’t work this time — it’s neither as funny nor as charming as their last outing.Read more here.
One-Armed Swordsman (1967)
not a fight-a-minute actioner like some of its genre stablemates, but it doesn’t need to be. When action does explode onto the screen, it’s fantastically done, with a fair few smaller tussles along the way before it reaches an almighty climax... However, for me the film also worked very well as a drama, and even sometimes as a romantic drama.Read more here.
Also, my 100 Favourites series continued with 2 more posts...
Cube (1997)
everyone interested in the more intelligent end of the sci-fi spectrum should see Cube... Throw a mismatched group of characters into a confined, mysterious setting and, hey presto, instant drama.Read more here.
Die Hard (1988)
Smart, witty, and thoroughly ruthless, Alan Rickman’s big-screen debut is a flawless turn that defined thriller villains (British-accented terrorists with a secret plan) for at least the next half-decade. No one does it better, though.Read more here.
More next Sunday.

And then there's nothing, ladies and gents! After all that time, nowt!
Well, except for some stuff coming from America that'll turn up I-don't-know-when. Yeah, this counting malarkey ain't likely to stop any time soon.
