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.

Sonic the Hedgehog (2020)


Genre: Comedy
Directed by: Jeff Fowler
Cast: James Marsden, Jim Carrey, Ben Schwartz
Running Time: 99 minutes



Inspired by the Sega video game franchise, this movie tells the story of Sonic, a blue extraterrestrial Hedgehog possessing great speed, that takes refuge in Green Hills, Montana, after he and his guardian are attacked. Sonic is living hidden in the rural US, but, after his loneliness gets the best of him, he creates a power surge that will get him the attention of the evil Dr. Robotnik. Sonic will seek the help of Sheriff Tom Wachowski to find his way to safety.

This is a cute family film with a nice message for young and old to enjoy. It is also a great excuse for Jim Carrey to overact and show the extent of his ability in that field. The visual effects are quite spectacular.
