The Magic Faraway Tree Review

     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. 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. St...

Countdown to Avengers: Endgame

Hi everyone! I don't know about you but I am crazy excited for Avengers: Endgame. So to get ready for its release in April I thought it would be great to re-watch every MCU movie so far! Now this is quite an undertaking, there are 20 films to watch! I thought that others might also want to prepare for Avengers: Endgame as well so I have done all of the maths for you. Now originally I was going to publish this list just 10 weeks before Endgame's release however I realised that not everyone would have time to watch 2 movies a week especially considering some of these film have pretty long run times. So by starting this week (The week beginning Monday 14th January 2019) you have a grand total of 15 weeks to watch 20 movies, that makes it a little more manageable. 

So see the image below? That is a countdown I have created so make sure you save it, print it and share it and as you watch a film cross it off. I would love to see your progress, hear your options on each film etc... so if you post on social media make sure you tag Just Another Film Blog. As you can tell I decided to list the films in their order of release rather than in timeline order, this is mainly because I like to see how the MCU has developed over the years but if you want to watch them out of order or in another timeline then feel free to - just cross off as you go. 
As you can see Captain Marvel is released on the 8th March 2019, so I have added it as a bonus film, but I would highly recommend you watch it before going to see Endgame because its very clear that Captain Marvel is going to be a very important character in Endgame.


Make sure you share this list, take part and share your lists as you cross off each film!
