Lilo and Stitch Review

on
Disney take us for another 'Hawaiian Rollercoaster Rider' with their latest live action film: Lilo and Stitch (directed by Dean Fleischer Camp). An adaptation of the live action original of the same name from 2002. Despite the twenty-three-year gap between the films, Stitch has retained popularity as a character, particularly at Disney theme parks across the globe, so it's really not surprise the blue alien would eventually get the live action re-imagining treatment. The film is good, but slightly disappointing given the high expectations that come with Disney films. Read on for my full review, minor spoilers.  Narratively Lilo and Stitch sticks relativity close to its source material, giving it a familiar quality that is comforting. That's not to stay it's a complete copy, there are a few major changes, which either add or detract from the overall film. You'll notice that Captain Cantu (an alien with a whale-like quality) has been scraped, a surprise but given...

Christmas 2020 Bucket List

on

Ho Ho Ho! It is officially the most magical time of the year on Just Another Film Blog! This year I have decided to embrace the holiday season a little early. I have a lot planned for this Christmas, I have a 25 Days of Christmas watchlist, an Alternative Christmas watchlist as well as some festive themed posts. I will also be posting regularly on Instagram so make sure you are following Just Another Film Blog on Instagram for a little extra film centred festive fun. To kick off Christmas here is the Christmas 2020 Bucket List! Below I explain the Bucket List a little - I really hope you join in, share your festive fun on Instagram and make sure you tag Just Another Film Blog!

Check out my top five Christmas films HERE!

  • Drink Hot Chocolate

I challenge you to name a more festive drink? Make a nice big Hot Chocolate, add some marshmallows, maybe even add a flake, and curl up in the warmth. 

  • Burn Scented Candles
Christmas smells are some of the best smells on earth, so burn some Christmas scented candles and fill your home with the scent of Christmas. Just remember to use responsibly. 
  • Donate a Gift 
It is the season of gift giving and something I always try and do is donate a gift. Christmas is all about acts of kindness and donating a gift is a lovely way to share Christmas cheer. 
  • Complete the 25 Days of Christmas Watchlist 
My 25 days of Christmas Watchlist will feature all your festive favourites! The watchlist will be revealed on the 1st December. 
  • Take a Walk
Wrap up warm and take a nice walk this winter. There is something pretty about nature at this time of year. Plus going for a walk is the perfect excuse for another hot chocolate. 
  • Make Paper Snowflakes
I love making paper snowflakes. They are fun to make, look cute and remind me of my childhood. Add some pretty tape or some diamonds to your snowflakes to make them look even cuter. 
  • Look at Christmas Lights
Exterior Christmas lights look so magical. Take a drive or a walk and take in the magical lights. 
  • Send Christmas Cards
This Christmas it is unlikely that we will be able to see all our friends and family so why not send some Christmas cards. Over recent years the popularity of Christmas cards have declined, but this year write and few and let your friends and family know you are thinking of them.
  • Bake Cookies
Get your household together and bake some Christmas cookies. Or go all out and make a tasty gingerbread house. 
  • Decorate for Christmas
The best thing about Christmas is decorating for it. Throw on some Christmas music and decorate until your home is bursting with Christmas decorations. Make sure to take a tree picture. 

Lets have the most magical Christmas this year. I hope you enjoy this Bucket List and I look forward to sharing most festive posts with you all over the next month.

Thank you for reading and stay safe. xx
