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 Christmas Chronicles (2018)

Genre: Christmas
Directed by: Clay Kaytis
Cast: Kurt Russell, Judah Lewis, Darby Camp
Running Time: 122 minutes



Christmas was always a fun and magical time for the Pierce family. But, after the husband and father died on the job as a firefighter, the widowed wife and mother started working extra hard to support her family. Siblings Teddy and Kate used to be close, but they are slowly growing apart in Teddy’s teenage years. A chance encounter with Santa Claus, on Christmas Eve, might be the glue that brings them back together again.

This is a very charming film. Sure, it is cheesy, as any Christmas movie would be, but the good acting and the humorous script make it all quite enjoyable. Nice surprise appearances by Steven Van Zant and Goldie Hawn.
