It's been just over three months since my last IMDb update just before Christmas. So it's time for the usual batch of half-hearted excuses and general woe that seems to accompany this rather fruitless quest. Take heart, therefore, that updates will now only come every three months, so you won't have to put up with this again until June.
My total currently stands as 110, one lower than the last time I blogged. In that time the only new film I've managed to see which is currently on the list is 12 Years a Slave; it thoroughly deserves to be there, but since it's a newer film, chances are it will be gone by the end of the year. I'm still determined to make more progress through the Top 100 of the list, but my time for film consumption has been reduced through work and other commitments, so please be patient.
Here then is the list as it stands, including reviews as promised last time for Monty Python and the Holy Grail, Finding Nemo, The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug. In addition to my reviews and episodes of The Movie Hour podcast, I've also linked to my WhatCulture! articles where appropriate. See you in June, when hopefully I'll have better news.
