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.

Fuller House (2016-2020)


Genre: TV / Comedy
Starring: Candace Cameron Bure, Jodie Sweetin, Andrea Barber
Number of seasons: 5



After becoming a widow, DJ Tanner-Fuller moves back into her father Danny’s house with her three kids. After Danny leaves San Francisco for work, DJ decides to stay in the family home, and her sister Stephanie moves in, along with DJ’s best friend Kimmy Gibler, to help her out. Together they raise DJ’s three kids and Kimmy’s teenage daughter Ramona.

This is a modern reboot of Full House, that ran from 1987 to 1995. It is cheesy, it is sappy. Every issue is solved with half an hour. There are a few good moments here and there, but they are far apart. It is nice to see the old characters, though the cool aspect of that wears off fast. Most of the newer characters are annoying. Overall, I kept going to complete it, but I am glad this show is over.
