In the past year (or more) , I have been hopeless at keeping up with this blog – I watch far more films than I have the time to review properly and therefore keeping regular posts going falls by the wayside. And let’s be fair, it’s far quicker (and more fun I have to admit) to watch films than to write about them. Or at least to write about them in a witty, articulate and intelligent style. I live in hope.
