Well, hello there, kind folks. If you’re visiting this blog of mine, I presume that you have a certain interest in the cinema. As for me, even since my early childhood, I have had a deep love of everything related to movies and television. As far as I can remember, I have been more at ease in front of a screen than in the yard, outside, playing. It is a great way to travel, though other people’s stories, without having to foot any kind of steep bill. Over the years, I feel that movie-watching has even fuelled my own creativity.

All that being said, I welcome you in my Cinephile’s Nest. I hope you enjoy it here, feel free to come back at any time. Here you will find reviews of current movies and older ones. TV shows also. Some classics that have remained some of my favourites, some that have disappointed me. I will use a very basic star (*) system to grade them from 1 to 5 (5 being sliced bread level). Remember, these are just my tastes. I will try to explain in each review what I liked about these particular movies, without giving spoilers.

Il y aura aussi des critiques en français pour les films francophones, car j'aime également le cinéma dans ma langue maternelle. Avant d'apprendre l'anglais, plus jeune, je louais des tonnes de films traduits en français, surtout ceux de Bud Spencer et Terrence Hill. Ma mère a eu le choc de sa vie lorsqu'un jour, dans la boîte d'un de ces films, Deep Throat avait malencontreusement inséré. Une expérience formatrice pour le jeune cinéphile que je suis.

Bienvenue à tous, amusez-vous bien.

I welcome you all here, enjoy yourself.

Let's Be Cops (2014)


Genre: Comedy
Directed by: Luke Greenfield
Cast: Jake Johnson, Damon Wayans Jr., Rob Riggle
Time: 104 minutes



Justin Miller and Ryan O’Malley are best friends. One is a struggling video game designer and the other is an unemployed former college football star. Both dissatisfied with their lives, they decide to pretend to be Los Angeles police officers. In the process, they manage to get themselves in big trouble.

Maybe it was because I went into this movie with low expectations, but I was actually somewhat entertained. Sure, the premise is kind of stupid and requires one to totally suspend disbelief. Sure, the acting is just okay, with the two main actors lacking in the on-screen chemistry department. Nonetheless, I did not really hate this flick. I enjoyed the flawed ride while it lasted.
