Yesterday I reached a truly incredible milestone when I published my 1000th film review! I feel that is a massive achievement since starting this blog back in February 2009.
It has been breaking news for almost two weeks now and I eventually thought it was time to mention it in a blog post. As a film lover when it reaches a certain time of year, Awards time that is especially the Oscars you cannot get away from the Harvey Weinstein name and The Weinstein Company. They really push films towards Oscars and put the campaigns together so well. That is all going to change this year when the news broke about Harvey Weinstein being accused of sexual assault and then many more horrible things.
Another I busy month at the cinema in preparation for the Oscars and fitting in the nominated films which were continuing to be released at the cinema.
Cineworld Unlimited pass which costs £17.40 per month, so seeing 8 films cost me a £2.17. Yes it was 9 films but I went to Empire Cinemas to see Fences due to the initial limited release!
I managed to see the following films this month:
5th – Loving – Review
6th – Hidden Figures – Review (Unlimited Screening)
9th – The Founder – Review (Unlimited Screening)
15th – Sing – Review
15th – Fifty Shades Darker – Review
19th – Fences – Review
26th – La La Land – Review
26th – Patriots Day –Review
28th – Logan (22:23pm) – Review
You always have to love the photos they take of the acting winners at the end!
Gutted about this one in all honesty as I thought Denzel was a much better performance!
So pleased that Emma Stone has won her first Oscar, she’s brilliant in La La Land!
Rightly so to Viola Davis for her very emotional role in Fences, and we get a very emotional speech. I think this is one of those awards that she really did deserve it for her incredible performance, in her third nomination.
Ahh she’s used the Captain, O my Captain for Denzel. So much love going on here!
The Oscar goes to . . . Mahershala Ali for Moonlight
Oh well no surprises with the opening acting award!
This year I will attempting to Live Blog as well as be active on Twitter (@LetsGoToTheMov7) during the Oscars. Although this year I haven’t taken any time off work, as I fell asleep anyway last year.
So keep checking back on here and see how far I actually make it through the show! Comments and discussion welcomed!
