I've come to a conclusion

[allystoybarn]

I'll primarily be using this as a Film, or Album, or Book Journal rather than any sort of personal posts. To be honest, not much happens in my life that's worth talking about very often, so I might as well talk about stuff that other people create with their interesting lives ^ ^

This year I've seen a bunch of films in the cinema - some only once, some several times - and I do wish I'd kept better track. But the more I see, and the more I consider them, the more I think that I'd like to do something to do with film journalism, whether it's as a career path or just as a general interest. So, think of this as practice.

Here's a grand list of films I've seen in the cinema this year, in near chronological order;

1. The Muppets (x2)
2. The Woman In Black
3. The Hunger Games (x2)
4. The Avengers (x3)
5. Dark Shadows
6. Men In Black 3
7. Snow White and The Huntsman
8. Prometheus
9. The Amazing Spider-man
10. The Dark Knight Rises (x2)
11. Dr Seuss's The Lorax
12. Brave (x2)
13. Total Recall [2012]
14. Anna Karenina
15. ParaNorman (x2)
16. Looper
17. Skyfall

Okay, I propose a challenge for you, Miss Ally: Post a review after every film you see in theaters.

Also: no interest for you in Frankenweenie?

[allystoybarn]

Challenge accepted, ma'am.

I missed Frankenweenie completely in the cinema. To be honest, I was always more interested in ParaNorman, though I did intend to see both. I'll probably catch the DVD release.

Dude, you saw a whole bunch of movies more than once this year! That's something I haven't done in a super long time! Just can't seem to find the time, not to mention the money for it. You're lucky!

Student loan (Y) and Sean and I both have loyalty cards. Also, Orange Wednesdays, which is basically buy one get one free which we took advantage of for everything seen more than once.
