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.

Indiana Jones and The Kingdom of The Crystal Skull (2008)

Genre: Action
Directed by: Steven Spielberg
Starring: Harrison Ford, Cate Blanchett, Karen Allen, Shia LaBeouf
Running time: 122 minutes



In this fourth installment of the franchise, Indiana Jones, his former lover Marion Ravenwood and her son Mutt Williams are trying to find a telepathic crystal skull all the while contending with a group of Soviet agents led by Irina Spalko.

Overall, this is a fun action film. Most of the cast does a good job and the plot is interesting. A few plot twists did not make much sense, but, all things considered, I was quite entertained. The on-screen chemistry between Ford, Allen and LaBeouf was quite good, it made for a fun film. It was a nice touch from Spielberg not to go overboard with CGI, considering the technology had evolved since the third installment, so as to remain consistent with the rest of the franchise.
