Film 2019 - With Ed Boff

(Disclaimer: I chose the name of this blogging series before the news that the Beeb were dropping their Film 20XX series.  I am a bit sad to see that long-running institution lapse, I wasn't a regular viewer, but any well made resource keeping people interested in the world of cinema is something to be cherished.  Keeping the name though!)


So as you've likely gathered by now, I see a lot of movies, and many of those I do so at the cinema.  Indeed, the last few years I've been making great use of my Odeon Limitless Card, getting a lot of bang for my buck, probably even more this year with the newly restored Odeon Leicester Square.  Also, I have a few more cinema memberships; Lifetime membership to the Prince Charles Cinema (which has paid itself back so many times since I first got it), and BFI Champion Membership (which comes in very handy booking for the London Film Festival, my main staycation each year).  Thing is though, I realised recently that despite this, I don't actively keep track of exactly how often I go, where I go to see them, all that sort of thing.  So for this year, I decided to try as an experiment over the course of the year to keep a proper spreadsheet of my cinema visits, and I'm going to use that as the basis of a bunch of blogposts on here.
