The Magic Faraway Tree Review

on
     The cinematic adaption of Enid Blyton's book series The Faraway Tree is now in cinemas. Director Ben Gregor adapts the books which started in 1939 for modern day audiences in The Magic Faraway Tree .  Will the film charm audiences the way the books have for decades? Unfortunately, for a film that should be full of wonder and magic, it falls flat for the majority of the run time, unable to reach its full potential. There is a healthy dose of whimsey, but not enough to save it. Read on for my full review, spoilers will be minor.  Read my latest reviews HERE .    There are a few outcomes when adapting novels into films. Some are a triumph, the world we've imagined coming to life beautifully off the pages. And other times the transition just does not work, which is the case with The Magic Faraway Tree . That's not to say there is nothing to like about the film, but it is one of those films where the trailer is more enchanting than the actual film...

First Birthday - Thank You!

on
On this day a year ago I went to the midnight screening of Star Wars: The Last Jedi, once I got home from the screening I read a few reviews and I was so angry with what they said I decided to write my own review and I made Just Another Film Blog. When I started this blog a year ago I thought only a few people would even read it, yet here we are a whole year later and my blog has been read nearly 14,000 times. Today marks the First Birthday of my blog and I just wanted to thank you to all my family, friends and readers. 
I have learnt a lot since I started this blog. I feel like my writing style has progressed. But the thing that the blog has given me is confidence: confidence to write my views and confidence to post them online. At times I thought that maybe I should stop blogging but I continued and I am so glad that I did because I have gained so much. 

I want to say a huge thank you to everyone that has read, shared and liked my blog it honestly means so much and every time I see that people are reading my articles I get so excited. Its strange because  I've had so much support from people I never expected and I have even made some new friends which is something I never expected when I started writing.

I have lots of post planned going forward and cannot wait for the exciting year of cinema ahead and I really hope that everyone will continue to read.

I cannot thank you all enough x

Happy Birthday Just Another Film Blog!!
