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 Day After Tomorrow (2004)

Genre: Science-fiction
Directed by: Roland Emmerich
Starring: Dennis Quaid, Jake Gyllenhaal, Ian Holm
Running time: 123 minutes



Climatologist Jack Hall has been trying to convince the American government that climate change could very well bring another ice age somewhere down the life if nothing is done, but he never expected to see it in his life time. When it comes, Jack has to travel in the cold from Washington to New York to rescue his teenage son, who is taking part in an academic decathlon.

Visually-speaking, this is a breath-taking film. The special effects and visuals are great. Most of the acting is pretty good. As for the story itself, while it is scientifically inaccurate and melodramatic at times, it is still quite entertaining.
