Not-so-silent night November 26, 2008

Posted by badblokebob in : Editorials, 2007 , trackback

Things have gone a little topsy-turvy here at 100 Films. This 2007 update was promised to be a selection of silent films but, for reasons too complex — and dull — to go into, here instead is what was intended to be the penultimate update, featuring reviews of the last few films I saw in 2007.

Of note in this selection: many people’s (and magazine’s) Best Film Of 2007, The Bourne Ultimatum; a film that was sequelized this year, Hellboy; and an appropriately Christmassy flick as we near the festive season (likely to be spotted in the TV schedules before long, just as it was when I saw it last year), While You Were Sleeping.

- The Bourne Ultimatum (2007)
- Hellboy: Director’s Cut (2004)
- On the Town (1949)
- Piglet’s Big Movie (2003)
- Play Time (1967)
- While You Were Sleeping (1995)
- Wild at Heart (1990)

And finally, the last-but-two thing I saw in 2007 (a dubious honour if ever there was one), Simon Ellis’ short film Telling Lies. It’s rather good.

Next time, those silent films I mentioned. Promise.
