Gladiator II Review

on
Ready to re-enter the Colosseum in ancient Rome? In 2000 Gladiator was released, the historical epic won five Academy awards including Best Picture and Best Actor for Russell Crowe. Twenty-four years later director Ridley Scott has given us a sequel - Gladiator II. Scott had a mammoth task at hand, how do you create a sequel to one of the greatest films of all time? Gladiator II is a four-star exhilarating historical epic. It fails to live up to its predecessor, but that doesn't not mean it is a bad film or even an unworthy sequel. I greatly enjoyed the cinematic experience that is Gladiator II, in all its historically epic style! Read on for my full review, there will be minor spoilers.  Set two decades after the events of Gladiator, you may expect to find a free Rome ruled by a senate that answers to the people, as was the dream of Emperor Marcus Aurelius. a Rome that Maximus fought and died to reform.

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.
