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.

Halloween (2018)


Genre: Horror
Directed by: David Gordon Green
Cast: Jamie Lee Curtis, Judy Greer, Andi Matichak
Time: 106 minutes



Forty years after committing multiple horrible murders, Michael Myers is still locked up. During a transfer from one facility to another, Michael manages to escape. Now, he is on the loose on Halloween night, and his old nemesis, Laurie Strode, decides that she is the one that needs to hunt him down and rid the world of him for good.

This film serves as the official sequel to the 1978 original. In the process, it disregards all the other sequels that came after. It is a very entertaining horror film that does a great job of setting an atmosphere. The pace is deliberate, and key moments make you jump on your seat and increases your heart rate.

A few little plot twists were weird and questionable, but, overall, I enjoyed this movie.
