Welcome

Why at the cinemas and not at the movies? I've always felt that there is a distinguishable difference between a film and a movie. The difference, to me at least, is that a film has more to it than entertainment, it has a value of art and accomplishment. The Lord of the Rings is both film and movie, it's technical accomplishments give the feeling it's a film, yet it's also entertaining as a movie. Pirates of the Caribbean is a movie, sure the visual aspects are great, but it has more of a movie feel. That isn't to say, I like it any less, movies and films are both great, and just thought that it's something I can write a little about in the intro to this blog, as most thereafter would be reviews of things I've seen. For the last 3 years, I worked at a cinema, and had the pleasure of watching many films (for free) as one of the perks of the job, and it was a great experience because I got to see films that I otherwise may not have initially wanted to see or saw things for free that I'm glad I didn't have to pay for. With the Vancouver International Film Festival rolling into town at the end of September, I'm once again looking forward to volunteering and getting my volunteer pass, watching as many films as possible =)
