Movie Reviews
(My thoughts on some new movies I have seen at the cinema recently). Criteria for assessment.
I've actually seen rather more movies than this in the last couple of years, but I haven't written them all up. It wasn't my fault! Really it wasn't! An old friend came in from out of town! The car ran out of gas! I got a flat tire! I didn't have enough money for a cab fare! The tux didn't come back from the cleaners! There was an earthquake! A terrible flood! Locusts! IT WASN'T MY FAULT I SWEAR TO GOD!!!!
