My year in films starts here

First up for 2011 is The Way Back. It was a good film though a little overlong & meandering during some scenes.

This year I will keep a diary of the films I've seen. Nothing fancy, just the title, date and time. I will save the Mark Kermodesque reviews for 2012.

Last year I kept all the ticket stubs with the aim of organising them and that never transpired. This year I am going electronic and diary the information in my phone. Nice and simple.

On the subject of ticket stubs, at Cineworld your 'ticket' is now nothing more than a till receipt. No more the lovely card ticket which could be saved as a souvenir or perhaps the proof of that romantic first date, destined for the 'Special Things' box.

Sigh, another bit of moviegoing magic which has disappeared in a bid to save a few fraction of pence.
