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.

Minority Report (2002)

Genre: Science-fiction / Action
Directed by: Steven Spielberg
Starring: Tom Cruise, Colin Ferrell, Max von Sydow
Running time: 145 minutes



Set in 2054, this film tells the story of John Anderton, who is hired to lead PreCrime, a specialized police department in Washington DC that stops murders before they happen by using psychics called precogs, after his young son was killed. Anderton starts to doubt the PreCrime process when he finds himself becoming the target as a suspected future killer.

This is a very complex multi-layered film carried out masterfully by Steven Spielberg. It raised much discussion about free will vs determinism. I am not a big sci-fi guy, but I got emotionally involved in this one. The acting was solid and the action was good. This is one film that deserves to be seen more than once in a lifetime.
