3 brand-new reviews were published to 100 Films in a Year this week, and they were...


The Accountant (2016)

if you’re thinking, “finally a film that makes accounting exciting!”, I’m sorry to disappoint you but Chris’ maths skills are really just a MacGuffin to get the ball rolling. What it does deliver is a decent thriller plot, with a couple of twists to keep things lively. It’s also a pretty satisfying narrative — I’m not sure there’s ever been another movie that so thoroughly tied up everything into nice neat little bows. I suppose that’s at least kind of appropriate given the hero’s condition.

The Great Muppet Caper (1981)

The second big-screen outing for the Muppets sees casts Kermit, Fozzie Bear and Gonzo as reporters who travel to England to investigate a jewel theft. Of course, this being a Muppet movie, the plot is less important than the crazy comical antics.

The Muppet Movie (1979)

“The Muppets Begin” in their big-screen debut, which seems Kermit going on a road trip where he encounters most of the key Muppets one by one, while being chased by a businessman who wants Kermie to be the poster-frog for his frog legs restaurant.

Collection Count

Collection Count tracks my DVD/Blu-ray collection via a number of statistics every week.

I got a new DVD this week! A rare occurrence nowadays, that. But then I upgraded something else from DVD to Blu-ray, so the DVD number stays the same. Hey-ho.

Number of titles in collection: 2,031 [up 3]
Of which DVDs: 1,171 [no change]
Of which Blu-rays: 860 [up 3]

Number of discs in collection: 5,208 [up 6]
Number of films: 2,262 [up 4]
Number of TV episodes: 7,937 [up 12]
Number of short films: 590 [no change]

See you next week, faithful reader.

Just 1 new post on 100 Films in a Year this week...


The Mid-Month Update for the Middle of September 2017

you may have noticed it’s been a tad quiet here of late. (Or maybe you haven’t. That’s OK, I don’t blame you.) There’s no grand or exciting reason for that, I’m afraid — September’s just turned out to be a busier-than-average month ’round these parts, leaving precious little spare time for blogging.
