That’s right while I won’t be actually in London, I will be taking in seven films as part of the London Film Festival 2022 which are screening in Newcastle at Tyneside Cinema! Always exciting to be able to get to see previews of films and I fully realise that it also means that from around December to February I will not have as many films to watch.
I am still totally buzzing that last night we got to go to the Special Fan screening of the first two episodes of the new Amazon series The Rings of Power, taking us back to Middle Earth once again. We have heard so much in the build up to the release of this series and how much money Amazon have put into making it!
I have been utterly obsessed with Lord of the Rings since that release back in 2001 and have been really looking forward to this series, maybe even a little bit nervous as I felt The Hobbit trilogy lost some of the magic we got from the original trilogy. I am very pleased though to be able to say that from the first two episodes that Amazon have absolutely nailed it! It was also extra special that my fellow LOTR loving friend Michelle came with me to the special screening at Tyneside Cinema.
The music, the stunning scenery, the way the map is used to then show the different places, some characters we already know and loads of new ones that we are going to get to know.
No Time To Die was originally meant to be released in April 2020 and was the first big film to announce it was pushing back to November 2020 but as things went on and we had the cinemas closed for months and then an attempt at reopening in the July 2020 didn’t fully go to plan for all chains with Cineworld quickly closing once again and rumours surrounding if they would ever actually be able to reopen.
Odeon made a longer attempt to stay open but considering no new releases and people being somewhat scared to actually attend the cinema they had to close again as well, it was actually very sad times wondering if Cinema would survive the pandemic. With some companies releasing films straight to streaming services and charging cinema prices to rent and watch at home it was a worrying time for those of us who love nothing more than attending the cinema.
That’s right you don’t just have to be in London to catch some of the films that are included in the 2021 BFI London Film Festival here is the map and list of cinemas that are going to be screening films so hopefully many people will be able to get involved even if you cannot get to London!
