One Photo Per Day Nov 26th - Dec 15th
One photo per day – even in among all the movie premieres, exhibits, resigning from my job, being distracted by stuff…. it’s still being done, one day at a time. And while I might be late posting this instalment, it went down a little something like this:
26th Nov. My own “Premiere …
'AVATAR' review (spoiler free where noted)
I give it three and a half stars.
This means it is definitely good and represents me saying that the ticket price (reserved seating, 3D, in London, on day of release) was worth it. As a work of pure imagination and world-building it is almost beyond cinematic compare.
It’s like watching the world’s greatest magician strutting his stuff : the tricks and the ingenuity of their construction …
"Sherlock Holmes" Premiere (J.Law! R.DowneyJnr! G.Ritchie! R.McAdams!)
And so, for the last time this year, we head down to Leicester Square, ensure that Yellow Cap Guy is in position, and learn that the tallest man in the world from Amsterdam and his Girlfriend are right in front of the only plausible spot to set down in. So I put on my beanie and gloves and noted the rain and thought to myself…
“You know what? I still love doing this!”

"St Trinians2" Premiere (Sarah Harding! Her Dress! A nearly all-female cast!)
St Trinians 2 : The Legend of Fritton’s gold is a movie I can fairly honestly say is not one I intend to actually watch. But it does have the advantage of being a film that has a mainly female cast, and I haven’t photographed one of those since….. oh… right. Nine – Kidman! Cruz! Hudson! Dench! last …
"Avatar" Premiere (now in widescreen!)
Okay, so perhaps like James Cameron, you look at the state of My Standard Movie Premiere Journals and ask yourself ‘why?’. Perhaps you decide it’s time to go bigger, better, and more ambitious.
So in honour of the James Cameron philosophy, for this premiere only, I’ve got two Premiere Journals. It’s basically the same …
"Avatar" Premiere Photos (Cameron! Worthington! Weaver! etc!)
“Either it’ll be the biggest movie of all time or it’ll be a colossal disappointment” seems to be the prevailing sentiment about this film. Personally, I’d like to think my expectations are more in line with what might actually be plausible. Anyway, for the third premiere in three days, here’s how it went down….
"Did you hear about the Morgans" Premiere (Jessica-Parker! Grant! Hurley!)
The first of three premieres this week (and the first of five in seven days, if I can motivate myself to get to all of them).
One immediately different aspect to this one – the wait was slightly longer but it felt considerably shorter with the addition of some friendly and intelligent conversation beforehand. ....On a slightly related note, can I ask a question: if you see a pretty girl next…
"Nine" Premiere (Kidman! Cruz! Hudson! Dench!)
Two premieres in two days for Leicester Square, and for this one it was pretty much attended by all the people on the movie poster!
The movie is called ‘Nine’ and its female cast alone promised a fairly cool premiere if they showd up. Indeed, I was wearing a beanie and gloves in anticipation of the cool factor (And/or because …
"Where the Wild Things Are" Premiere Photos (Jonze! Records!)
Rain, and the weather slowly getting colder meant that this premiere had a bit of a smaller attendance from the public than usual. Having the speakers blast out the same three childrens songs for almost ninety minutes may have contributed, and the fact that actor Tom Hanks and Blake Lively (‘Gossip Girl’) were in the film but not at the premiere probably didn’t help either.

One Photo Per Day 6Nov-26Nov
One photo per day. It’s like with an apple a day and doctors… but with photos. And nothing being kept away. (I’m not sure where I’m going wih this…)
Previously to this instalment I’d gone celeb-happy at the BFI Film festival, celebrated Halloween and been told I was a introverted abstract se…
