Happy 3 Year Anniversary!

It has been 3 years now for Let’s Go To The Movies (well slightly over as the first post I made was 9th February 2009) I had no idea that when I started this blog, actually that was the date of my first post! I registered the blog on January 28, 2009. Now this blog is something that I wish I had started years before that date. As I had seen some very random films and I would have loved to have been able to look back and remember what I thought of them at the time. A reason why I keep going with reviews, especially for films I have seen in the cinema to get my thoughts saved as soon as possible. I try to complete cinema reviews as soon as I return home or the next day. I find it gets harder to review a film the longer you leave it. I have enjoyed creating top 10 lists and making general posts on movies or actors.

I go to the cinema at least twice a week most of the time (depending on how many films are released) due to having a Cineworld Unlimited Card so why not try to review everything that I see on the big screen? But some films do slip through the net!

But I have to admit that if you told me I would keep this blog going for 3 years with not many gaps in posts, I probably wouldn’t have believed you. I also find it just brilliant to see that so many fellow bloggers who started in Feb 2009 are still going strong today and posting about 3 years themselves. I still enjoy reading those blogs too!

So we shall now focus on the year ahead and what 2012 has to bring in the year of film!

2012 Challenges

Instead of setting some New Year’s resolutions for the blog or movie watching I have decided to set some 2012 challenges in regards to film watching!

  • Try to review each film I see at the cinema – now this wasn’t far off in 2011 but must do better!
  • Watch the films I have on DVD that I have never actually seen
  • Focus on old films with the year ending in 2 . . . 2002, 1992, 1982 etc
  • Form top 10 lists with regards to the above challenge
  • Catch up on films I missed in 2011
  • Make more use of my LOVEFiLM subscription
  • See more than 57 films at the cinema (2011’s total)

What about anyone else, any 2012 challenges?

New Layout at the Movies!

In what can only be described as a random moment this morning I decided to change the layout of the blog. While I have not by any means completely sorted it all out yet, I am impressed with some of the extra’s I can use with this layout. So onwards and upwards for Let’s Go To The Movies.

What do you think of the new layout?

So many reviews to come!

I have to apologise for still having lack of updates on my blog. But a plus in the past month or so has to be that I have had quite a lot of cinema trips. Yes that does mean plenty of reviews to come!

Including the following films:
The Last Song
Sex and the City 2
Wild Target
Brooklyn’s Finest and many more!

Stay tuned people I will be back on track very soon!

Traditional New Year Song – Auld Lang Syne

Should old acquaintance be forgot,
and never brought to mind ?
Should old acquaintance be forgot,
and old lang syne ?

CHORUS:
For auld lang syne, my dear,
for auld lang syne,
we’ll take a cup of kindness yet,
for auld lang syne.

WordPress for Blackberry

I have been a proud Blackberry user for a few years now and currently have the Curve. Since I got this phone I have had the WordPress Application installed but never actually used it. I figured now as I cannot sleep would be a good time to test out if I could see myself using the application to actually update my blog or not. Does anyone else use a phone application to update their blog?

I suppose it is not much different other than it being smaller than a computer, but not as simple to post pictures. Although if I take a picture on my phone I can upload straight to the blog, which could encourage random movie taking related pictures.

I might as well make this movie related too and say that I still have not seen Avatar but cannot wait to go, maybe Saturday morning. Anyone seen it yet?

New Moon Book Review

Well my “New Moon” challenge did not last very long at all. I have to admit that it is because as with “Twilight” when I read that last year, these books the way they are written some how consume me. I cannot really completely explain why exactly but it just happens and I really do not want to put them down. So I have two more to read being “Eclipse” and “Breaking Dawn” which I am sure will be done in the next couple of weeks.

New Moon Challenge

Last night I eventually decided to continue reading “New Moon” my new found push being that the “New Moon” movie comes out next week. Of course it will not be difficult to read the book in a week. I mean since last night I have read 180 pages . . . so I could possibly be finished it over the weekend. I knew it would eventually consume me like Twilight did, were you totally do not want to put it down! I read Twilight in such quick time. I did originally start reading this straight after Twilight but got distracted with something else . . . I cannot even remember what. But I am back on track now and have Eclipse and Breaking Dawn waiting to be read as soon as I have finished New Moon.

So Far I have to admit that I am not Edward’s friend for leaving. He has totally broke my heart . . . Bare in mind that I had already read this part before. Yet reading it last night it really hurt and struck me, I suppose I do have my reasons. I cannot really stop reading it . . .

So the challenge will continue . . .
