  • Review round-up: Five films which I couldn't be arsed to see

This means I don't end up seeing all the films I'm supposed to, but damn it, I'll be buggered if that's going to stop me from updating this website. So, here are five films which I had arranged to go and see in the last two weeks along with the reasons why I welched on them. I figure I owe you that much.
