this week on 100Films.co.uk
I don't know about you, but this has been a long week — so long that I forgot a new month started during it. Yep, that's right! So. no new X new films review at 100Films.co.uk this week, but there was the monthly review of February...
And, to go with it, the February failures...
More next Sunday.

13x01 Santo in the Treasure of Dracula
The new season of MST3K began with a Kickstarter-backers-exclusive premiere last night — 1am UK time, hence me logging it today. After a few technical issues delayed the start, the episode itself was a delight: a perfect movie to be laughed at while still being kinda daftly enjoyable, which, for me, is the MST3K sweetspot (truly awful movies sometimes feel like a slog that the riffers didn't have enough to work with). If they keep up this standard, it should be a good season.

Collection Count
Collection Count tracks my DVD/Blu-ray collection via a number of statistics every week.
Having delayed the monthly running time update from last week, I didn't buy (or sell) a single title this week, so it remains exactly as it would have last time. Isn't that... fundamentally immaterial to anything but this column. Anyway...
Number of titles in collection: 2,788 [no change]
Of which DVDs: 1,055 [no change]
Of which Blu-rays: 1,733 [no change]
— of which Ultra HD Blu-rays: 154 [no change]
Number of discs in collection: 6,980 [no change]
Number of films: 3,320 [no change]
Number of additional cuts: 252 [no change]
Number of TV episodes: 9,237 [no change]
Number of short films: 949 [no change]
As I said, no changes. Except...
Total running time of collection (approx.):
501 days, 10 hours, and 4 minutes.
(Up 2 days, 17 hours, and 18 minutes from last month.)
See you next week, faithful reader.

6 new reviews were published to 100Films.co.uk this week...
Knives Out (2019)
Archive 5, Vol.5
More next Sunday.
Knives Out (2019)
clearly built like an Agatha Christie story, though perhaps with a touch more satire and humour. That’s not to say it’s an outright comedy, but this is a heightened world we’re in; it’s the real world, but filtered through the lens of a genre. And rather than follow the familiar formula of a Poirot- or Marple-type case, the film is like one of Christie’s other novels; one of the ones where the broad shape is the same, but there’s some twist or variant in how it’s told.Read more here.

Just a couple of new releases to keep things ticking over, this week. It's also time for a running time update, but I'm nowhere near having that ready, so I've bumped it to next week. Hopefully I won't just find myself next Saturday morning staring at still having to add a month's worth of new acquisitions to the total...
