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.

Hotel Transylvania 2 (2015)

Genre: Animated / Comedy
Directed by: Genndy Tartakovsky
Starring: Adam Sandler, Andy Samberg, Selena Gomez
Running time: 89 minutes



Count Dracula’s daughter Mavis has now married Johnny, and they have a son together named Dennis. Fearing that, since her son has not developed his fangs, he might be human like his father and thus not feel normal in Transylvania, Mavis sets her mind on moving her family to Los Angeles, where the in-laws live. In a last ditch effort to keep his family near him, Count Dracula tries to scare the fangs out of his grandson, trying to prove that he is indeed a vampire in the making.

Just like the first installment in this trilogy, this sequel is cute, albeit cheesy. It is easy to recognize Adam Sandler’s fingerprints on this one. It is decent family entertainment while it lasts, but it is easily forgettable afterwards.
