Of which DVDs: 1,081 [no change]
Of which Blu-rays: 1,431 [no change]

this week on 100 Films
My look back at last year on 100 Films in a Year continued this week. First up, one of my highlights of every year: the statistics!
In a different arrangement to normal, I dedicated a whole post to my "worst of" list...
But I still rounded things off with my list of the top 10% of movies I watched last year, plus some honourable mentions, and my usual list of 50 noteworthy titles that I missed...
Aside from all of that, there was also time for my annual look back at Christmas TV...
And that's all for now. Hopefully I'll get in some actual film reviews before next Sunday.

Just two purchases to kick off the new year. If I can keep things at that kind of level, I'll have a much more sensible end-of-year total than I did for 2020...

[#3 in 100 Films in a Year 2021]
Happy Death Day (2017)
[2nd watch]
Rewatchathon 2021 #1
+ all of the Blu-ray's special features, because there aren't many: 12 minutes of deleted/alternate scenes and 8 minutes of featurettes
Happy Death Day 2U (2019)
[#4 in 100 Films in a Year 2021]
+ the Blu-ray's special features, which are even worse than the first film's. The pathetic little “featurettes” were clearly designed for social media promo. Shame they couldn’t have even just recut the same interviews into a decent featurette or two. I'm sure it still would be EPK-ish stuff, but it could have been a little more detailed — at least the first film's manage to squeeze in some interesting info. But no, 2U’s are even shorter and even more vapid. I mean, the third one just explains the plot of the movie in 2 minutes. Whhhhhy?
