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.

Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom (2018)


Genre: Science Fiction
Directed by: J. A. Bayona
Cast: Chris Pratt, Bryce Dallas Howard, Rafe Spall
Time: 128 minutes



Claire Dearing and Owen Grady are solicited by Benjamin Lockwood, former partner of John Hammond (the creator of Jurassic Park), to go back to the island of Isla Nublar to take part in a rescue mission to relocate the dinosaurs, who are now in danger because a volcano is about to erupt. Unfortunately, it is a setup put in place by Lockwood’aide Eli Mills, in the hope of auctioning these dinosaurs to rich people.

In this first sequel of the second Jurassic Park trilogy, Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard are still solid in their respective roles. The story hooked me and kept me interested. It made me feel like I did when I was a kid watching action movies. The strongest aspect here is still the visual one: The special effects are amazing.
