this week on 100 Films
3 brand-new reviews were published to 100 Films in a Year this week, and they were...
The BFG (2016)
War on Everyone (2016)
The Witch (2015)
More next Sunday.
The BFG (2016)
The writer/director team behind E.T. reunite for another tale of a young kid befriending a strangely-proportioned otherworldly creature who can’t quite speak English properly and has an acronym for a name. This one, of course, is adapted from Roald Dahl’s beloved children’s book, here rendered into live-action — or, for a large part, realistic computer animation — by director Steven Spielberg.Read more here.
War on Everyone (2016)
There are broad similarities to another irreverent comedy thriller from 2006 about a pair of not-so-nice fellas investigating a somewhat-complicated crime plot, but War on Everyone just serves to demonstrate how hard it is to do what Shane Black makes look effortless in The Nice Guys.Read more here.
The Witch (2015)
aka The VVitch: A New-England FolktaleRead more here.
It’s not a horror movie that suits all tastes, but I thought it was v.v. creepy and v.v. good.
More next Sunday.

this week on 100 Films
A new month has begun this weekend, which means it was time for 100 Films in a Year to look back at the old one...
Additionally, 4 brand-new reviews were published this week...
Don't Breathe (2016)
Ghost in the Shell (2017)
Ghost in the Shell 2: Innocence (2004)
Tokyo Tribe (2014)
More next Sunday.
Additionally, 4 brand-new reviews were published this week...
Don't Breathe (2016)
Don’t Breathe is perhaps the movie equivalent of a theme park attraction: designed to thrill you and scare you during its brief duration, not withstand plot and character scrutiny when dissected afterwards.Read more here.
Ghost in the Shell (2017)
this iteration of Ghost in the Shell creates a new narrative, but builds it out of liberally repurposed imagery, sequences, character traits, and more from the popular 1995 anime adaptation and its sequel, and apparently from the Stand Alone Complex TV series too... Though to say “new narrative” is something of a kindness because, intricacies aside, the story isn’t new at all.Read more here.
Ghost in the Shell 2: Innocence (2004)
with technical advancements that aren’t necessarily beneficial, grander but less memorable action sequences, and less coherent thematic underpinnings, it’s clear that Hollywood doesn’t have the monopoly on sequel-y sequels.Read more here.
Tokyo Tribe (2014)
the mix of battle rap, comic grotesques, ultra violence, gratuitous nudity, more barmy notions than you can shake a stick at, and probably the kitchen sink too, makes it possibly the most batshit-crazy movie I’ve ever seen.Read more here.
More next Sunday.
