Elio Review

on
     Is there life beyond Earth? Journey to the cinema to find out in Pixar's latest and first Sci-Fi adventure: Elio. Elio is a young boy, who having recently lost his parents goes to live with his aunt. Unable to find a place to belong in his new life, Elio looks to space to find his place. Pixar is known for it's touching animated features and shorts, which often tackle complex emotions. Their films are aimed at viewers of all ages, which tends to result in life-long fans. We have seen Pixar bring to life; toys, cars, bugs and fish, now they've turned their unique creative powers to aliens, in a refreshingly original feature: Elio. So does Elio make contact with outer-space and steal our hearts in the process or does it fail to launch? Read on for my full review.  Elio (Jonas Kibreab) is a lonely kid, who feels like a inconvenience to his aunt Olga (Zoe Saldaña) and an outsider on Earth.

2020 Christmas Watchlists

on
Hello everyone! Christmas is my favourite time of year, I love the awful jumpers, baking cookies, snuggling in the warm with hot chocolate, but most of all I love the movies. I would watch Christmas films all year around if I could (I may have even watched Christmas films on occasions after nights out and in the middle of summer... but shhhh don't tell). Alongside my Christmas Bucket List which you can find here: WINTER 2020 BUKCET LIST I decided to make a Christmas Movie Watchlist. The list is made up of 25 films for 25 days of Christmas - it's sort of like a Christmas advent calendar but with films! Brilliant right? You can watch them in whatever order you like and you can even watch more than one a day, just watch however you like and have fun. The list is made up of my favourites, some have been favourites since I was a child, some are more recent, but I love them all.
But thats not all I have also created an Alternative Christmas Watchlist for those of you that like Christmas but want to watch some that are a little less festive. There are 10 movies on the Alternative list, all of which are set at Christmas time or in Winter. I have some favourites on this list and I'm sure you will too.

The watchlists are below, print them, share them, post them on social media (tag Just Another Film Blog in your posts) and make sure to watch along with me! I will be posting on Instagram throughout December so make sure you follow to keep up to date.
