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 Avengers (2012)

Genre: Superhero
Directed by: Joss Whedon
Cast: Robbert Downey, Jr., Chris Evans, Mark Ruffalo, Chris Hemsworth
Running Time: 143 minutes



 
Nick Fury is compelled to launch the Avengers program to stop Loki, who came down to Earth from Asgard to launch an attack. Iron Man, Hulk, Captain America, Thor and Black Widow will put their efforts together to stop Loki from getting his way. 

Maybe I was expecting too much out of this one, but I was a little disappointed. It felt overly long, with lots of gibberish. Maybe the nerd power is not strong enough in me to fully appreciate it. The film is well done, visually-speaking, and there are some entertaining moments. Iron Man had some good lines and the fight between Hulk and Loki made me laugh really hard.
