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.

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
