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.

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning (2006)


Genre: Horror
Directed by: Jonathan Liebesman
Cast: Jordana Brewster, Taylor Handley, R. Lee Emey
Running Time: 91 minutes



In this prequel to the 2003 remake, we find out how Leatherface became who he is after being adopted by the Hewitt family and how his uncle Charlie kills the local sheriff and assumes his job and identity. A pair of brothers traveling through Texas with their girlfriends before going to Vietnam encounter the Hewitt family after a car accident.

I really enjoyed this prequel. The acting was pretty good, especially on R. Lee Emey’s part. He looked totally demented on screen. He was absolutely believable in his role. There was a lot of violence, with blood, guts and gore, and I was quite entertained. The action was fast-paced and kept me hanging on, with a nice surprise at the end.
