Film and Theatre Lover!
Please vote for Let’s Go To The Movies for the 2018 UK Blog Awards I would really appreciate your support and votes! Please help me get shortlisted for a UK Blog Awards in the Arts and Culture section!
Having just reached an incredible milestone of publishing my 1000th film review I feel this is the perfect time to get nominated for an award with the UK Blog Awards for 2018!
I received a fantastic email last night to be told that I have made it onto the list of Top Entertainment and Movie Blogs of 2017 from The Writers Awards.
I made it as number 11 on the top 12 list, which is something I am very thrilled about!

I recently created a new logo for Let’s Go To The Movies which you can see below. I then decided to set up a campaign on Teespring which allows you to sell different products. I thought that was the perfect chance to use the logo and create some merchandise that people could buy!
A couple of days ago now I purchased a new domain:
letsgotothemovies.co.uk
I thought it would be a good idea so everyone knew I was based in the UK as often I think that is rather confusing.
To go along with the new domain (I am still keeping Letsgotothemovies7.com due to so many links to that online) I thought a new layout would be a great idea!
If readers can let me know if it is better than the old layout to read that would be fantastic!
(Look out for the different films in the header, constantly changing)
You may (or may not) remember that earlier this year I was put in 7th place in Vuelio’s list of Top 10 UK Film Blogs. Was is an incredible achievement considering the size of the other blogs I was listed with! Plus moving up from 10th place from the previous year.
I have a confession to make I missed my blog-versary marking the 8th year since I started Let’s Go To The Movies.
Which was the 9th February 2009!
It has been a pretty incredible adventure so far, here is to many more years in the film and theatre blogging world!
Thank you to everyone who reads, likes, comments and shares. Both on the blog and via Twitter!
2016 was another good year for films released at the cinema and I think the standard was pretty good, I managed to miss a lot of the films that seemed to be regarded as the worst of the year which is always a big bonus!
This time last year (and the year before) I was celebrating a record-breaking total. You know what I have only gone and done it again setting a new record this year, beating last year by a whole 12 films! Which I think is pretty impressive although I seem to be treating it very much like a game now in trying to beat the previous year. Even monthly trying to outdo the year before. I was so close to 80 and I think that will therefore be my target in 2017. Good job I have an Unlimited Card at Cineworld to be able to do this!

The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2015 annual report for this blog.
Here’s an excerpt:
The Louvre Museum has 8.5 million visitors per year. This blog was viewed about 130,000 times in 2015. If it were an exhibit at the Louvre Museum, it would take about 6 days for that many people to see it.
2015 has been a very good year in terms of films and I had plenty of Cinema trips to keep me going over the year. I am going to go on record here and say that I think it is actually a lot better than 2014. Not only have I had a good time with the films, I have also branched out and even been to a few cinema’s that aren’t Cineworld. As you know I have the monthly pass which obviously helps getting to the cinema a lot. This year though I attended my first film festival in London which also meant I got to go to the legendary Leicester Square Odeon as well, just an added bonus. I then also went to a local small cinema to catch The Lobster considering it did not get a very wide release from Cineworld at all, so that was another fantastic experience. Also adding Vue to the list as I picked up some amazing 3D Star Wars glasses when seeing The Force Awakens for the first time.
This time last year I was celebrating a record-breaking total. You know what I have only gone and done it again setting a new record this year, beating last year by a whole 4 films! Which I think is pretty impressive when some months were a little poor, but I got off to an amazing start seeing a whopping 12 films in January. That is always the best month in the UK for seeing films as it is all building up to the Oscars.
